<p>UNIT 2- Rocks, Soils, Weathering, & Mass Movements OBJECTIVES: SWBAT (Students will be able to…) - Identify the three major types of rocks and explain how they differ - Describe the rock cycle - List the forces that power Earth’s rock cycle - Compare and contrast intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks - Distinguish between clastic sedimentary rocks and chemical sedimentary rocks - Recognize foliated metamorphic rocks and describe how they form - Identify and describe the difference between Weathering and Erosion. - Give examples of mechanical and chemical weathering - Explain factors that influence the rate of weathering - Read and interpret a soil horizon diagram - Read and interpret a soil texture graph. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS: - What are the three major types of rocks? - What powers Earth’s rock cycle? - How are intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks alike and different? - What are the major processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks? - What are foliated metamorphic rocks, and how do they form? - What are the three agents of metamorphism, and what kinds of changes does each cause? - How can the rate of mechanical weathering influence the rate of chemical weathering, and vice versa? - How does biological activity influence the rate of weathering? - What impact does climate have on the rate of weathering? - What factors influence the composition of soil at a given location?
