OBJECTIVE #2: To classify rocks according to how they were formed, inferring from their physical properties. The two categories are 'EXTREME MEASURES' (igneous/metamorphic) and 'BY PARTICLES ERODED FROM OTHER ROCKS' (sedimentary).

Geology Jumpstart: (3 minutes!)
Number your jumpstart box #1-4.
If the statement is true, write 'T'. If it is false, change the underlined word(s) to make it true.
1. Slow movements of mantle rock called radiation move the tectonic plates.
2. The single landmass that broke apart 250 million years ago was called Pangaea.
3. Mid-ocean ridges is where oceanic crust dives down into the mantle.
4. When two oceanic plates diverge, a rift valley forms.
