This project shows one way that sedimentary layers are formed as sediments (mud and silt, sand, pebbles and rocks, other ) settle over time.How do sedimentary layers form?It is an educational content ...
Discover whether certain types of rocks are more difficult to break than other types of rocks.The purpose of this experiment is to test various sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks to find out w ...
Pores are small openings that allow air and moisture to permeate the surface of a material. Porosity is the measure of these voids relative to the solid structure. Porosity is a significant considerat ...
Determine which category of rock (igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic) has the ability to hold oil and by implication natural gas. Develop a qualitative data table of the oil holding capacity of various ...
The formation of stalagmites and stalactites happens through the capillary action between porous rocks and water rich in minerals. The rocks attract the water and the moisture accumulates until gravit ...
Obsidian is basically “unpopped” pumice: obsidian and pumice are igneous rocks that are made out of the same material, but because of the way it’s formed inside the volcano, pumice looks very differen ...
There are three basic types of rocks: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. Sedimentary rocks are distinguished by their layered formation on the earth's surface. Igneous rocks are formed by the cool ...
Rocks are ever changing.They can be smoothed by water, broken off by wind, and cracked by ice.If you found a rock in your backyard then traveled back in time 1,000 years, that rock would look totally ...
Did you even wonder why some rocks are round and smooth while others are broken up into small pieces? Maybe you've even discovered a rock in your backyard that's made up of several layers. If so, you' ...
The rock cycle is a model that describes the formation, breakdown, and reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic processes. In this project an electric quiz board that ...
