  1. Imagery Lesson: For each step in the rock cycle you will imagine that you are rock going through the rock cycle. After imagining what would happen to you at each step you will fill in your chart and draw a simple picture at each step. *The only writing required is the pages explaining the rock cycle diagram. I am a ROCK! The rock cycle

  2. In the MAGMA

  3. Magma enters a magma chamber of a Volcano This magma cools/crystalizes to become Igneous Rock Extrusive Rock Intrusive Rock

  4. IGNEOUS Crystallization MAGMA

  5. The cooling of magma can form two types of Igneous rocks. Intrusive extrusive or Occurs when magma cools slowly within deep magma chambers. Occurs when magma is cooled rapidly near or at the surface. Pumice Granite Obsidian Scoria Diorite Gabbro

  6. IGNEOUS Intrusive (Plutonic) Crystallization MAGMA

  7. Extrusive (volcanic) IGNEOUS Intrusive (plutonic) Crystallization MAGMA

  8. Over time the rocks go through weathering by rain, wind and snow.

  9. The weathered particles are then broken down into sediments

  10. Weathering Volcanic IGNEOUS Plutonic Crystallization Uplift MAGMA

  11. SEDIMENT SEDIMENT Weathering Volcanic IGNEOUS Plutonic Crystallization Uplift MAGMA

  12. The weathered sediments continue erosion and are transported by rivers, wind, etc.

  13. The sediments are next deposited.

  14. Erosion SEDIMENT Weathering Transport Deposition Volcanic IGNEOUS Plutonic SEDIMENTARY Crystallization Uplift MAGMA

  15. Over time the sediments are compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rock. As the sediments have the water leave it, minerals fill in the spaces and cement the rock together.

  16. Erosion SEDIMENT Weathering Transport Deposition Volcanic IGNEOUS Plutonic SEDIMENTARY Crystallization Uplift MAGMA

  17. An earthquake occurs, causing the plate to slip under the crust, the rock undergoes Increased Temperature and Pressure deep in the crust.

  18. The increase temperature and pressure squishes the rock and it becomes a metamorphic rock.

  19. Erosion SEDIMENT Weathering Transport Deposition Volcanic IGNEOUS Plutonic SEDIMENTARY Increased P&T METAMORPHIC Crystallization Burial Uplift MAGMA

  20. As the plate is pushed farther into the earth’s layers it melts back into the mantle. As the plate begins slipping into the mantle, the rocks are heated up to high temperatures. Once again the rocks are melted and become magma.

  21. Erosion SEDIMENT Weathering Transport Deposition Volcanic IGNEOUS Plutonic Can you see any shortcuts? SEDIMENTARY Increased P&T METAMORPHIC Crystallization Melting Burial Uplift MAGMA

  22. Erosion SEDIMENT Weathering Transport Deposition Volcanic IGNEOUS Plutonic SEDIMENTARY Increased Pressure & Heat METAMORPHIC Crystallization Melting Burial Uplift MAGMA

  23. It is never ending. There are rocks at each stage at all times. Each rock helps to make up the beautiful earth on which we live. This is… THE ROCK CYCLE!
