Understanding the Rock Cycle: From Igneous to Metamorphic

The rock cycle encompasses the transformative processes that create three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from cooled magma or lava, gaining small or large crystals based on cooling rates. Sedimentary rocks arise from layered pieces of igneous rock. Metamorphic rocks develop under intense heat and pressure over time. Rocks are vital for life on Earth, influencing landscapes and enabling human achievements like monuments. Understanding these processes highlights the importance of rocks in our environment.

  1. ROCKS Jack Majewski

  2. Igneous rocks • The igneous rock is made out of magma/lava if the rock cools down fast it well have small crystals. If it cools down slow it will have big crystals.

  3. Sedimentary rocks • The Sedimentary rock is made out of pieces from the igneous rock. Then forms many layers.

  4. Metamorphicrocks • Whenthere is to much pressure the sedimentary rock will get pushed under ground. It take time, pressure, heat to form in to a metamorphic rock.

  5. Rock cycle

  6. Layers of the earth • If you cut the earth open you will see this

  7. Life With Out Rocks • Life would be terrible if we did not have rocks. We would not have Mount Rushmore. No famous buildings.
