My Rock Story

Rocks have been around the world for lots of years. Some rocks come from volcanoes. obsidian is an igneous rock. Igneous rocks are made of hot liquid rocks that has cooled and hardened. Liquid rock comes up onto the earth's surface through volcanoes. 

Some rocks such as granite are very hard strong. Others such as chalk are very soft and easily crumble. We can write with chalk because it wears away when pressed against a hard surface. 

Some rocks have tiny holes that water can flow through, other rocks such as slate do not let in any water. People make roof tiles out of slate because it keeps the house underneath dry. 

Each kind of mineral forms its own type of crystal and when lots of crystals lock together they make rocks. Granite is a hard speckled looking rock, each speckle is a different crystal.

My inquiry

This is my inquiry.

Rocks

Rocks are very cool. They are very hard just like a gem. And a crystals. Rocks have been around for billions of years. 

How are rocks made ? Rocks are made from sand. Sand is little pices of rock sand when volcanos erupt lava comes down. Little pices of rockfall out the volcano. 

Rocks are very strong. 

Igneous rocks are crystals. They fall into a volcano when the volcano erupts they turn into magma and then lava igneous rocks are very cool. 

Metamorphic rock is made from  sedementyry rock. Igneous rock is made from hot liquid. Sedementyry rock is made from little pices of rock and sometimes shell

All of these are important one they are very rear two they are very strong so they won't break and three they are very cool.

Fossils

Fossils.

Some fossils can be shells and rocks.

Fossils are only on  beachs and inside caves.

Fossils can be pieces of stuff like leaves.

Fossils were alive millions of years ago.

Fossils used to live in the sea and they catch a wave on to the shore.

Rock facts

Coal is hard and black,It's also some kind of mineral.It's the most common mineral,It's used all over the world for energy.Coal is mostly used to make material and steel.

A mineral is a natural solid material but it's definitely not alive. Minerals always have the same ingredients every time,like chocolate chip cookies.

When rocks melt they normally turn into magma.Rock have been around for billions years.There are over 4.dto5 billion rocks in the  world.Mountains are made of rocks and rocks are formed by layers small particles.They are together and formed into sedimentary rocks.Sedimentary rocks are the most common rocks in the world.Mountains are made because rocks crusts push up and form mountains.

Dylan's rock report

I'm going to share Igneous rocks with you.Igneous rocks formed by magma and volcanoes.Most

 igneous rocks have been around for 4.5 billion years and others have been around forever.

This is my fossil that is a dinosaur tooth.My great grandad found it on an island on the beach.Now I'm going to share fools gold with you now.

Fools gold is a type of fake gold the real name is iron pyrite.When people find this particular type of rock they would say I found gold!!! Then they would take it to a gold shop and the guy would say this is fake gold.Then he would say this is iron pyrite.He would say oh? I didn't know that. 

Some people carve rocks into statues.pumus is a type of rock it is formed by volcanoes.They can clean your feet some how.

Types of rock sedimentary rocks are: breccia,sandstone,shale,and limestone.

Types of metamorphic rock are diamond,graphite,marble,gneiss,quartzite and schist.

If a Minecraft person was in Auckland

,

I am from Minecraft and I made a portal to Auckland.It looks a little different here.Nothing looks like blocks and my bow does not work and my swords are gone so is my crafting table.Now I  have nothing I have to meet new people and I have to get new friends and weapons.I have to make a new portal so I can go home.

where should I go first?Mmm.maybe to the movies!.Nope I don't have any money,so I should go find a house and bed.I need to find another Minecraft friend.There are lots of people in this town,but I don't think there are lots of Minecraft people in this world because there are not many portals in the Minecraft world,but I saw one portal there.Ill call the person that made the portal.

It was my brother.Hay dumb head.I don't like him and he does not like me.WHAT!i made a portal  here  and someone broke it.AND!So I need to make another one.We want to help.GO AWAY!NO!We will all work together.NO YES!OK! First we find some obsidian second we have to find flint and steel.Then were done.

Sana and Aula find the obsidian.Me and Talat will find flint and steel.Lets go.Me and Aula have found obsidian.Me and Talat have found flint and steel.Ok.meet up at that big building ok.Hi let's build the portal.There,there,there and there.let go home.yay.Where home.Has something like this ever happened to you?

My rock report

The volcano  has erupted

There are 2500 minerals in the world.Rocks are made from minerals.Sometimes rocks have gold in them.Igneous rocks are made when lava cools and hardens.Sedimentary  rocks are made sediment and sometimes fossils get stuck to it.Metamorphic rocks are made from heat and pressure inside the earth.Rocks smash to make mountains.Rocks have been on earth for a million years.Rock have been when the dinosaurs were.There are different tips of rocks in different parts on the world.Sometimes some rocks have 1 or 2 mineral in them. There's about 4500 billion rocks in the world.Coal sometimes have leave prints on them.Coal is really hard.Some rocks get created from other rocks.Rocks are different colours.Sandstone is made from sand.After many years mountains go down.Did you know diamond can cut diamond.

Rocks

How Rocks Were Made

Some stone was made by a big clump of clay.Some rocks are made by minerals.

Igneous Rocks

Some igneous rocks have tiny minerals in them and some don't have any.Greenstone sometimes gets caught in the volcanoes,Basalt normally comes out of the volcanoes.

Sedimentary Rocks

Sedimentary rocks are made of tiny pieces of big rocks.Most Canyons are made of Sedimentary rocks.Limestone is a kind of Sedimentary rock.You can find fossils in some Sedimentary rocks.

Metamorphic Rocks

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have changed their form because of the earths crust.Marble and Slate are two kinds of Metamorphic rocks.You would normally find Metamorphic rocks deep inside the earth.

The rock cycle goes like this Magma to Igneous to Sedimentary to Metamorphic and over and over again.
