Slide 13 - Quiz
Knowledge check
Igneous rock
Sedimentary rock
Metamorphic rock
Intense heat and pressure
Presence of fossils
Formed from magma or lava
Presence of sand, pebbles or stone in the rocks
Weathering and erosion
Has layers
Contains crystals
Slide 14 - Drag question
A. The sheer power of the waves forces air into cracks breaking off pieces of rock.
B. The dropping of sediment as energy used to transport it is lost.
C. The wearing away of material as rocks carried in the sea erode the cliff face, acting like sandpaper
D. The breakdown of rocks in place by temperature change, chemical reactions or plants and burying animals.
E. The movement of sediment by wind, water or ice.
1. Weathering
2. Transportation
4. Hydraulic action
3. Deposition
5. Abrasion
Slide 15 - Drag question
Weathering and erosion play crucial roles in the rock cycle.
Agree: They break down and transport rocks.
Disagree: Their impact is minimal.
Agree: They sculpt and reshape landscapes.
Disagree: Their effects are overestimated.
Slide 16 - Poll
The rock cycle is a never-ending process of rock formation and transformation.
Agree: It's a continuous natural process.
Disagree: It's a one-time event.
Agree: It's a cycle of constant change.
Disagree: It's a static geological concept.
Slide 17 - Poll
Metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rock types under high heat and pressure.
Agree: It's a fundamental process.
Disagree: Their formation is random.
Agree: It's a result of intense geological forces.
Disagree: Their formation is purely chemical.
Slide 18 - Poll
Human activity has the potential to disrupt the natural processes of the rock cycle.
Agree: Activities like mining impact it.
Disagree: It's resilient to human influence.
Agree: Pollution can alter rock formation.
Disagree: Human actions are insignificant in this context.
Slide 19 - Poll
Describe the rock cycle and all its stages in your own words - you can use previous slides to help.
Slide 20 - Open question
Why are fossils not found in igneous or metamorphic rocks?
Slide 21 - Open question
The rock cycle involves the transformation of igneous rocks into sedimentary rocks through processes like erosion and deposition.
Agree: It's part of the natural process.
Disagree: Their transformation is unrelated.
Agree: It's a key aspect of the cycle.
Disagree: Their transformation is inconsequential.
