Sleep & Learning Reflection

 
Refection 

1. How does sleep effect your learning? 
How much we sleep effects our learning because, our brain needs to rest, and to recharge energy, plus the brain learns during our sleep.

2. How much sleep do you get each night? Do you think this is enough? Do you feel tired in the morning?
I get about 7 - 8 I dont think is enough because I feel really tired, and sometimes I go back to to sleep because of that.

3. Will you change what you do after reading about sleep and learning? Why or why not?
No, I dont think so, because no matter what Im used to it, my body is used to that routine.

The Rock Cycle

Vocabulary

Cementation ( sementation)- The process by which clastic sediment is lithified by precipitation of mineral cement, such as calcite cement, among the grains of the sediment.

Compaction( compaccion)- Tighter packing of sedimentary grains causing weak lithification and a decrease in porosity, usually from the weight of overlying sediment.

Deposition( deposicion)- The settling of materials out of a transporting medium.

Erosion( erosion)- The processes that loosen sediment and move it from one place to another on Earth's surface. Agents of erosion include water, ice, wind, and gravity.

Sedimentary rock ( rokas sedimentales)- The processes by which sediment is converted into sedimentary rock. These processes include cementation and compaction.

Magma ( magma)- Molten rock, generally a silicate melt with suspended crystals and dissolved gases.

Melting ( fusion)- To go from a solid state to a liquid state.

Metamorphic rock ( roka metamorfica)- Alteration of the minerals and textures of a rock by changes in temperature and pressure, and/or by a gain or loss of chemical components.

Pressure ( presion)- The force per unit of area exerted upon something, such as on a surface.

Sediment ( sedimentos)- Material (such as gravel, sand, mud, and lime) that is transported and deposited by wind, water, ice, or gravity; material that is precipitated from solution; deposits of organic origin (such as coal and coral reefs).

Crystallization ( cristalisacion)- the process in which the hot lava reaches the water for cooling.

Water resources ( Recursos Idricos)
"Water resources are sources of water  that are useful or potentially useful."

Natural resources ( Recursos  Naturales )
"Materials or substances such as minerals, forests, water, and fertile land that occur in nature and can be used for economic gain."

Natural disasters ( Desastres Naturales )
