Environmental Quest

Different layers of soil.

There are different layers of soil. Altogether they’re called the OTSPB.

These are the separate names of the different layers of the soil:

Journey to the centre of the Earth

You start with the different layers of soil, as you go down the soil gets orange and crumbly.If you get any deeper then you might find some crystals which are shaped with diamonds to create jewels. Diamonds are the hardest thing on earth!Dig down even further and you might find some fossils. We come on to that in the next slide.

This is the outer core which is outside the centre of the earth.

Those were all the Layers of the earth!

You then get the centre of the earth the hottest part of the world!

ROCK MIND MAP!Igneous rocks.

Some of the melted rock cools inside the earth, some rises to form volcanoes.

Some rocks get heated even more and melt.

Metamorphic rocks

Some rocks get squashed and heated and change into different rocks.

Some rocks get pushed up to form mountains.

The layers of sand, mud and pebbles are pressed together to make solid rocks.

Sedimentary rocks

Sand, mud and pebbles from rivers and the sea settle into layers.

Rivers carry sand, mud and pebbles towards the sea.

Mountains are worn down by wind and

rain

Water cycleThe water cycle starts off in the trees, it turns into water vapour and rises into the sky. Then the water rains down onto the mountains and into the sea. After that the water rises and rains on the trees.

CloudsClouds are made of water. They have small bits of water in them called molecules, when the molecules join it gets too heavy for the cloud to hold it so it just drops to the ground. Another word for cloud is water vapour or condensation.

ElementsThere are four different Elements which are air, water, ground and fire.

Each of them are natural!
