  1. James Hutton 6.3 B Notes Rock Cycle He was a farmer, medical doctor, &lawyer who was credited for the rock cycle idea. One scientist is credited for creating the rock cycle.

  2. Melting • Cooling Rock Cycle Igneous rock production

  3. Uplift • Erosion • Transportation • Deposition • Lithification Rock Cycle Sedimentary rock production

  4. Heat • Pressure • Chemically active fluids Rock Cycle Metamorphic Rock Production

  5. Gravity Rock Cycle Gravity helps drive erosion and causes rock layers on top to push down on lower layers. Main forces behind the Rock Cycle

  6. Water Water is crucial for weathering & erosion. It can dissolve minerals & rocks, carry huge sediment loads, & deposit loads into high-pressure areas. Rock Cycle Main forces behind the Rock Cycle

  7. Plate Tectonics Rock Cycle Pressure & heat created along plate boundaries can melt rock, change chemical bonds, or lift rock & expose It to erosion. Main forces behind the Rock Cycle
