- Structure of the Earth, view the Early Earth and Plate Tectonics video, and the Plate Tectonics vid
....and the Rock Cycle Song!
Now Plate Tectonics is the theory
That crust is movin' under me
Continents they drift apart
'Cause molten rock is in Earth's heart
Scientists say there are three ways
That plates can move around these days
Convergent, Divergent, and Transform-Fault
Is what this rumbling's all about
Chorus:
Let it rock! the rock cycle
Let it rock! the rock cycle
The rock cycle, the rock cycle, let it rock!
Two hundred million years ago
Pangaea was the land below
Continents they drift apart
Heat and pressure is the start
Check the seismograph it shakes!
Plates are moving - EARTHQUAKES!
Rumble underground below
Better run, she's gonna BLOW!
Chorus
Now magma pushes through the crust
And when it cools it's Igneous
The next in line is elementary
Weathering makes it Sedimentary
Then heat and pressure make rocks change
The stuff inside can rearrange
The final rock, you can't ignore it,
Yeah, you know, it's Metamorphic!
Chorus
