  The Environment & Wildlife Community There are 3 types of rocks, namely: Sedimentary Igneous Metamorphic SEDIMENTARY ROCKS Sediment is produced through the process of weathering large rocks are broken down gradually and smaller pieces are transported by wind, water and ice. Under high temperature and immense pressure, sediments are smashed together and hardened into sedimentary rocks. This usually occurs as the sediment is buried deeply under layers of new sediment. Characteristics of Sedimentary Rocks They often contain layers and grains, and they may contain fossils (This is why some of the rocks look like they were engraved with shapes of particular types of fossils) Examples of Sedimentary Rocks sandstone, limestone and gemstone IGNEOUS ROCKS These rocks come from the coding of melted rock material which we call magma. METAMORPHIC ROCKS These were formerly igneous or sedimentary rocks which were buried deep in the Earth's crust, then they were transformed by their expo...

 

  Did You Know? Earth is the third planet from the Sun, in the Solar System. Earth weighs approximately 5.97*10^24 kg. The Earth's gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 (also referred to as the acceleration due to gravity). Earth's continents include: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania and Antarctica (however it is subject to debate since it is inhabitable due to its extremely low temperatures). Around 70% of the Earth's surface is water. World Earth Day Message 2022 - Environment Community Brought to you by the Environment Community

Looking back at two devastating Tropical Cyclones that hit parts of Southern Africa, as well as the effects of their destructions. Cyclone Eline Summary This cyclone dates back to 1 February 2000 when it was first discovered. It was also on this day when the cyclone was formed in the Australian basin. Initially it was named Cyclone Leon until it gain intensity after crossing 90 degrees east of the South-West Indian Ocean. It was at this time when it received the name Cyclone Eline (hence Cyclone Leon-Eline). A meteorological center on the French Island called Réunion, called the Météo-France office in Réunion (MFR), monitored the developments and movements of this tropical storm. Eline dissipated on the 29th of February 2000. Countries affected: Madagascar Eline reached Mahanoro on the 17th of February 2000 with winds that had speeds over 160 km/h (>99 mph).  Mozambique Landfalls were experienced at the southern part of Beira, on the 22nd of February 2000.
