Summary 3

The rock cycle is a cycle that a rock passes through. The cycle starts when a rock from lava or magma gets out of there and then it converts to an ingneous rock. After the igneous rock and other rocks get squeezed togather the preasure make the igneous rock to change to a sedimentary rock, and finally the rock returns to a volcano and converts into a metamorphic rock. This process is endless, that means that never ends.
Here are some images of all the rocks in order:

To begin this, one of the vocabulary words is "mass waisting", when you hear the word "waisting" in that phrase, we think on trash, or something related to trash, but, that phrrase is when rain takes place, the water acumulated in one place, is "mass waisting"(If you don`t understand, i´ll put a video MADE BY ME at the end of this summary).

Let´s start; in the desert, erosion takes place when wind blows, sand is so weightless that wit the minimum wind blowing sand can be from one place to another almost every second. There are three types of glaciers: continental glaciers, valley glaciers and narrower glaciers.

First of all, I am going to explain the types of mountains. Fold montain is like this.
 
A fault block mountain is like this.
 
Now, the difference of erosion and weathering is that weathering is the breaking down of rocks, and some examples are: Plants (the roots), animals, technology, temperature, water and wind.
And erosion is the picking and removal of rock particles.
Soil is divided in three horizons, that are basicly horizon A,B and C.
Those horizons can be broken down by plants' roots, they are so strong that they could even brake rocks.
