Have you finished: Rock Cycle Diagram Layer’s of the Earth Someone took the last cookie in the cookie jar last night. The last person to leave the scene is the culprit. Who was it? Put the Suspects in order from the first to leave to the last to leave Have you finished: Rock Cycle Diagram Layer’s of the Earth Rock Cycle Simulator

The Rock Record Geologists believe that same geologic processes shaping the Earth today, have been at work throughout Earths history. Start stacking 1 book on top of another book while talking about this slide. Wait about 30 seconds in between each book

Relative dating gives a relative age. Determining whether an object is older or younger than other objects is called relative dating Relative dating gives a relative age.

Don’t write this: Layers of sedimentary rock stack on top of each other over time

The Law of Superposition states that each rock layer is older than the one above it

Over millions of years, tectonic plate movements can distort rock layers. (folding, eroding, breaking, and uplifting layers)

Molten rock can force its way into sedimentary rocks Molten rock can force its way into sedimentary rocks. This forms igneous rock sections called intrusions

Intrusions are younger, unless disturbed by a fault, or is eroded or deposited on

Faults cause the rock layers to look offset or unaligned When rocks are forced to move (like during an earthquake) they can break resulting in a fault. Faults cause the rock layers to look offset or unaligned

Faults can be big or small

There are two type of Faults: 1. Strike Slip: two pieces of land move horizontally

There are two type of Faults: 2. Dip Slip: two pieces of land move vertically
