Science Test - Due in one week.

Science Assessment
04.03.2020 - Friday - (Email me a typed response or scan your hand-written responses. Due 04.10.2020 - Friday - )

Complete the following outline on the four (4) cycles we’ve studied.  The first one (THE ROCK CYCLE) is done for you. Write a brief description of;

  1. The major steps in the cycle.
  2. How the cycle is important for life.
  3. How the cycle interacts with ONE other cycle.
  1. ROCK CYCLE:
    1. The rock cycle begins when lava or magma cools to for igneous rock.  Igneous rock can me broken down to make sedimentary rock, or it can be put under heat and pressure to form metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can become metamorphic as well.  Both sedimentary and metamorphic rock eventually get pushed down into the mantle on Earth to begin the cycle again.
    2. Life depends on the rock cycle for land, for recycling minerals and chemicals necessary for life, and for releasing gasses and material into our atmosphere that life depends on.
    3. Part of the rock cycle depends upon the water cycle because rain, ice, and snow help break down hard rock into smaller sediments.
