rock cycle 1

Rock cycle

This is a set of continuous processes that are constantly changing rocks from one kind to another

How are Igneous rocks formed?

These form from the cooling of magma and Lava. When other types of rock in the Rock Cycle get close to heat and melt, they can re-harden into igneous rock.

Metamorphic Rock

in the Rock Cycle

Metamorphic rocks form when other types of rocks go through heat and pressure over time. Metamorphic rocks can also go through weathering to become loose material, or sediment. Some metamorphic rock can go through heat and pressure again to form another kind of metamorphic

rock (shale→slate→schist)

Sedimentary RocK in the Rock Cycle

Sedimentary rocks form as the processes of erosion,deposition, compaction, and cementation occur, or through chemical processes. Sedimentary rock can then go through heat and pressure to become metamorphic rock, or be broken back down into sediment.

What kind of rocks can go through weathering to become loose material or sediment?

Igneous rocks

How do Igneous rocks change?

These rocks can also become metamorphic rock when put thru heat and pressure

What is the Processes between rocks?

All rock types can go through weathering and

erosion to break down material into loose sediment

What turns all three rock types into metamorphic rocks?

Heat and pressure

what is sediment process?

eroded, deposited, compacted, and cemented together (also chemical processes)

What happens to rocks that melt?

Melting turns any rock into magma or lava
