Week 2
Activity 1 Types of Rocks

1. Different types of rocks are found on Earth’s lithosphere: the continental crust is
composed of lighter, thicker, and buoyant granitic rocks while the oceanic
crust is composed of heavier basaltic rocks.

2. In this activity, learners will analyze how several rocks are being formed by natural
processes of the Earth. Below is a list of rocks for analysis. Learners are also
allowed to explore other ideas that they may be interested to work on with the
following rock samples.

a. Basalt

b. Andesite

c. Scoria

d. Breccia

e. Clay

f. Limestone

g. Gneiss

h. Obsidian

3. Learners may use this diagram to show and explain their ideas.

Activity 2 Earth’s Internal Heat

1. Directions. Use the word bank to fill in the gaps in the passage below.

Convection Earth’s plates Plates

Convection Earthquakes Volcanoes
current Plate tectonics
Crust

The surface layer of the earth is called the ___________________. This layer is
broken up into pieces called ___________________. These __________________ “float”
on the mantle. Heat rising and falling inside the mantle creates current called
_____________________. The ___________________ current move the __________________.
This movement is known as ___________________. The movement of the earth’s plate
causes earthquakes and ___________________.

2. Heat transfer plays an important role to the continuous changes and

development of Earth. Three processes can transfer heat: conduction,
convection, and radiation. Describe how each process affect the land formation
and temperature on earth.
