DBQ Essay: The Rock Cycle

143 Words1 Page

The rock cycle is extremely helpful and useful for scientists all over the world. These scientists use physical geology, which carefully focuses on how rocks form into other rocks (Doc. 2). Also, through the rock cycle, three types of rocks form, which are called igneous rock, sedimentary rock, and metamorphic rock (Doc. 1). The rock cycle is much like the water cycle, but it takes millions of years for a rock to form, wear down, and form again. Also, scientists need the rock cycle to watch how the rocks form overtime (OI). The scientists take careful looks at the rocks to study things like texture, composition, and where the rock came from (OI). That helps them figure out what type of rock it is and what it is useful for. That is why the

  • Why Paleontology Is Important To Study

    1234 Words  | 5 Pages

    Why study the past? Paleontology Paleontology is the study of what fossils tell us about the ecologies of the past, about evolution, and about our place, as humans, in the world. Paleontology incorporates knowledge from various fields, even computer science, to understand the processes that have led to the origination and eventual destruction of the different types of organisms. Paleontology is essential for working out the history of the earth. Another application of paleontology is the use of fossils in the oil industry to determine the age of the rocks encountered in drill cores, which is vital to determining where the oil, if any, might be.

  • Summary Of Rocks Of Ages By Stephen Jay Gould

    550 Words  | 3 Pages

    Rocks of Ages by Stephen Jay Gould argued a concept called NOMA, which stands for Non-Overlapping Magisteria which is a philosophy of non-interference in certain domains of thought and inquiry, and in this specific book, Gould uses the idea of NOMA to argue for the separation of religion and science. His arguments revolved around three main topics: Defining NOMA, the history of science versus religion, and the psychology behind the rejection of NOMA. Although he touches almost every base for every question I could think of, I did not see the book as an easy read--the points seemed scattered and I couldn’t keep up with his thought process and its relation to his thesis. When one boils it down to whether or not his idea would work, the answer would have to be yes, but under unobtainable conditions, in my opinion.

    Stonehenge, a gargantuan stone group of stone circles, quarried hundreds of miles away. It just happens to be set on the path of the sun and an unnerving amount of dead people. For thousands of years, people have wondered why it was built. A discovery of small circular rocks, all the same size, around Stonehenge may help us figure out how those ton sized blocks of rock got there. The fallen portions of Stonehenge and modern technology may lead us to the last question we ask, the building and lifting of stonehenge.

  • The Mediterranean Landscape

    1381 Words  | 6 Pages

    Weathering can occur in both physical and chemical processes, exfoliation is an example of physical weathering; this is when rock heats up and expands during the day and cools and contracts during the much cooler night. As this process continues, the rock starts to break from the inside and peels off. This process takes places in areas where there is high diurnal temperature variation such as the Sahara desert and parts of the Mediterranean close to it. Plants and burrowing animals also contribute to weather rock, this is know as biological weathering; this is when the plant roots forced cracks in the rock to widen and eventually break into pieces or when animals expose the rock to further weathering (Waugh, 2009; A. Vella, personal communication, March 5, 2017). Plate tectonics have also played a part in the evolution of the Mediterranean.
