What have we learned so far in science class. So far in science class we have learned about astronomy, geology, oceanography, and the rock cycle. Astronomy is the study of the universe .Geology is the study of earths physical features. And oceanography is the study of the earths ocean. The rock cycle is the study of rocks and how they form. The different types of rocks There are different types of rocks in the world today. All the rocks are put into three different categories. The Three rock categories are Igneous, Metamorphic and Sediment rocks. Igneous rocks are formed when the cooling of and the solidification of magma or lava. The igneous rock is a glassy of crystalline type of rock. The molten is usually between 1,100-2,400 degrees Fahrenheit. Metamorphic rocks are formed when the …show more content…

Sediment rocks are formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. This sediment is often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area. We also watched the San Andreas movies that just came out. The San Andreas movie was about people living in California and one day the San Andreas fault tectonic plate had an earthquake. After the earthquake scientists tried to see if they could tell when another on was going to happened.

Meanwhile there is this one family that is broken up but they have to forget what had happened in the to save their daughter. Their daughter is in
