  1. Rock Cycle http://earthref.org/SCC

  2. IGNEOUS ROCK SEDIMENT MAGMA SEDIMENTARY ROCK METAMORPHIC ROCK http://earthref.org/SCC

  3. Processes by which you can transform rocks from one type to another • Igneous to Sedimentary: • Need to make sediment from igneous rock first: • Weathering and Erosion • Then transform sediment into sedimentary rock: • Cementation and Compaction • Sedimentary to Metamorphic: • Change sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock: • Heat and Pressure • Metamorphic to Igneous: • Need to make a magma first before you can make an igneous rock: • Melting • Then transform magma into igneous rock: • Cooling and Crystallization http://earthref.org/SCC

  4. IGNEOUS ROCK COOLING and CRYSTALLIZATION WEATHERING and EROSION SEDIMENT MAGMA MELTING CEMENTATION and COMPACTION SEDIMENTARY ROCK METAMORPHIC ROCK HEAT and PRESSURE http://earthref.org/SCC
