 * Assignment 2: Rock forming minerals**

> > > > The rock Granite is filled with many differant minerals all of these minerls form together to make the structure granite. Granite is made of Potassium feldspar, plagioclase feldspar, and quartz; differing amounts of [|muscovite], biotite, and [|hornblende]-type amphiboles.Granite is currently known only on Earth where it forms a major part of [|continental crust]. This form of granite is formed when magma bursts out of a volcano and runs down the volcano of lava. This form of granite is the slower cooling form of the two kinds of granite. This is the reason you can see all the different minerals that make it up. >
 * ASSIGNMENT 1: Earth Systems Interactions
 * Directions: Work with a partner to explain one example of an** interaction between 2 **of the [|earth systems] we discussed in class. (Lithosphere, Hydrosphere, Atmosphere, Biosphere). The systems are described in your notes for unit 1. Your job is to** type one paragraph **explaining** how they interact **and to** include at least 1 supporting image **. Don't forget to make sure that the completed assignment is copied onto both of your wikis for grading purposes along with the title:** ASSIGNMENT 1: Earth Systems Interactions**.**


 * In [|meteorology],** precipitation **(also known as one of the classes of** hydrometeors**, which are atmospheric water phenomena) is any product of the condensation of [|atmospheric] [|water vapor] that falls under gravity [|[][|1][[[]|]]] The main forms of precipitation include [|rain], [|snow], [|sleet], [|hail] and [|graupel]. It occurs when a local portion of the atmosphere becomes saturated with water vapour and the water condenses[|[][|2][[[]|]]] Two processes, possibly acting together, can lead to air becoming saturated: cooling the air or adding water vapour to the air. Generally, precipitation will fall to the surface; and exception is [|Virga] which evaporates before reaching the surface. Precipitation forms as smaller droplets coalesce via collision with other rain drops or ice crystals within a [|cloud].

The water cycle is part of the atmosphere biosphere and hemoshpere because it passes though each layer and benefits them all. This is how we get our drinking water and after it rains you can most likely see this process happening. The water from the hydrosphere will disappear during the process of evaporation,Then the evaporated water in the atmosphere will fall back down into the hydrosphere and then the cycle repeats.
