  1. The Rock Cycle By: Aaliyah Carter

  2. Definition: Minerals Naturally occurring solids that have a definite structure and chemical composition. Properties: Hardness, luster, the way minerals break, and whether it reacts with acid.

  3. How are these rocks formed? Forms when heat and pressure change the form and chemical make up of rock. When magma cools and hardens . IgneousRock Metamorphic Rock Form from pieces of other rocks that have been broken apart and cemented together. Sedimentary Rock

  4. IgneousRock Granite, obsidian, and basalt Marble, quartzite, gneiss Include three labeled examples for each. Metamorphic Rock Rocks Coal, sandstone, limestone, and shale Sedimentary Rock

  5. heat magma cooling The Rock CycleUse the shapes below to recreate the rock cycle. Heat and pressure Metamorphic rocks Igneous rocks Heat and pressure erosion erosion erosion Sedimentary rocks sediments Pressure and cementation

  6. What happens when igneous rock is exposed to crashing waves? Answer: The waters erosion breaks the rocks into sediments
