ROCK CYCLE SIMULATION Pre-LabName__________________________ Block______For Questions #1-3, use your Earth Science textbook!1. Define weathering -2. Define erosion -3. Define deposition -Read Part A on the Lab Sheet, then answer the following questions.4. What will represent rocks in this simulation?5. What will represent weathering agents in this simulation?6. List some weathering agents in real life:7. Where are you supposed to put your crayon pieces?Read Part B on the Lab Sheet, then answer the following questions.8. What will represent erosion in this simulation?9. What will represent deposition in this simulation?10. Where are you supposed to deposit your crayon shavings in thissimulation?11. Define Sediment -Read Part C on the Lab Sheet, then answer the following questions.12. What is compaction?13. What is cementation?14. Which of the two (compaction or cementation) is NOT going to berepresented in this simulation?

15. How will compaction be represented in this simulation?16. Predict what will happen to the crayon shavings during the compactionprocess in this simulation.17. Define Sedimentary Rock -Read Part D on the Lab Sheet, then answer the following questions.18. What two processes cause metamorphic rock to form in the earth?19. How will this lab represent these two processes?20. Predict what will happen to the crayon shavings during the metamorphicprocess in this simulation.21. Define Metamorphic Rock -Read Part E on the Lab Sheet, then answer the following questions.22. How do igneous rocks form?23. How are you going to represent the formation of igneous rocks in thissimulation?24. When your crayon shavings are melted in this simulation, you will beassigned either fast or slow cooling. What do you these represent in the realworld?25. Predict how cooling your melted crayon slow or fast will differ.**26. Define Igneous Rock -27. What SAFETY PRECAUTIONS will have to be followed in this part of thelab?
