1. 1. The Earth as a system Twitter: @LilyKotze
2. 2. Wind and water weather rocks to form soil. Most living animals and plants live and grow on the surface of the earth. Water flows over the ground. Soil erosion causes more soil particles in the water run-off. Birds fly through the air. Most living plants and animals depend on air from the atmosphere to live. Humidity is moisture In the air. Precipitates: water move through the atmosphere as part of the water cycle. Living plants and animals need water. Some plants and animals live in the water.
3. 3. The Lithosphere
4. 4. What is the atmosphere What is the Lithosphere? means rocks
5. 5. The Lithosphere Consists of the solid upper mantle and the crust. About 5 80 km deep. Thin layer on top is the soil, on average only a few meters deep. Mixture of weathered rocks and minerals. Organic substances derived from decayed plant material and animal waste.
6. 6. An important part of the soil is living matter. Plants that grow in the soil require nutrients
7. 7. The crust is divided into plates that contain the continents and oceans.
8. 8. The crust contains our non-renewable fossil fuels and valuable minerals.
9. 9. The rock cycle
10. 10. The rock cycle isthenatural continuousprocess in which rocks form, are broken down and re-form overlongperiodsoftime. Definition
11. 11. 1 Magma is pushed to the surface by volcanoes. Once the magma reaches the surface, it is called LAVA.
12. 12. 2 Pools of magma cool down slowly in the crust to form igneous rocks.
13. 13. 3 Hot, molten lava cool down fast and form volcanic rocks.
14. 14. Smaller crystals form through fast cooling such as pumice.
15. 15. 4
16. 16. 5 Wind and water and/or ice transport these particles to floodplains and the sea by erosion.
17. 17. 6 The pressure of many layers changes the bottom layers into sediments.

20. 20. Types of rock Igneous MetamorphicSedimentary
21. 21. Igneous Rock Forms from molten rock. Properties: Crystalline Difficult to break
22. 22. Sedimentary Rock Forms from sediment particles that are deposited by water, wind or ice. Formed under great pressure no heat is involved. Properties: Found in layers Often contains fossils
23. 23. Metamorphic Rock Rock that started as igneous or sedimentary. Forms due to immense heat and/or pressure of the earths crust. Properties: Crystalline Compressed structure
24. 24. A mineral Definition is a natural solid with a definite chemical composition. Itoccursascrystals and has a specific structure.
25. 25. Ores Definition are rocks that like precious stones and metals
