Rocks Objectives: To understand that geological time is on a different scale to human time To know that rocks belong to one of three groups.  Their formation is linked by the rock cycle  To know the location of these within the UK.  To be able to explain the links between different categories – the rock cycle  Formation of limestone w/s
 
 
 
 
[object Object],Weathering Weathering is the breakdown of rocks at the Earth’s surface, by the action of rainwater, extremes of temperature, and biological activity. It does not involve the removal of rock material. Erosion Erosion is the process by which soil and rock particles are worn away and moved elsewhere by gravity, or by a moving transport agent – wind, water or ice.  Transport refers to the processes by which the sediment is moved along – for example, pebbles rolled along a river-bed or sea shore, sand grains whipped up by the wind, salts carried in solution. Deposition Deposition is the laying down of sediment carried by wind, water, or ice. Sediment can be transported as pebbles, sand & mud, or as salts dissolved in water. Salts may later be deposited by organic activity (e.g. as sea-shells) or by evaporation.

Britain, has in the past been covered by sea. At other times mountain ranges were formed with spectacular earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Our climate has changed, from tropical forest through deserts and floodplains to arctic tundra, as Britain was slowly moved around the globe. During all this time, the processes of the Rock Cycle have been active, producing a larger variety of rocks than in any other similar-sized area of the world!
