  1. The Demonstration of the Rock Cycle in Arches National Park By: Carrie, Amanda, and Aubrey

  2. Igneous To Sedimentary • The Process of igneous rocks turning to sedimentary rocks is • 1st the igneous rock goes through weathering, then erosion, and then deposition • 2nd the rock becomes sediments • 3rd compaction occurs then cementation • And then WABAM you have a Sedimentary rock http://www.minimegeology.com/shop/images/Obsidian_W.jpg http://geology.com/rocks/pictures/hematite.jpg

  3. Sedimentary To Metamorphic • In order for sedimentary rock to change into metamorphic rock many changes need to take place. • This requires: • High Temperatures • Great Pressure • Sometimes a chemical reaction needs to take place too. http://geology.com/rocks/pictures/conglomerate.jpg http://www.msnucleus.org/membership/html/jh/earth/metamorphic/images/gnsgrn.jpg&imgrefurl

  4. Metamorphic to Igneous • A metamorphic rock can change into a igneous rock in 4 simple steps. • First the rock melts due to great heat and pressure. • Next the rock becomes molten rock. Also known as magma. • After that the rock cools and hardens and Ta Da! An igneous rock. http://geology.com/rocks/pictures/slate.jpg http://geology.com/rocks/pictures/granite-coarse-grained.jpg

  5. The Rock Cycle http://www.uwsp.edu/geO/faculty/ritter/images/lithosphere/rocks_minerals/rock_cycle.gif

  6. Rock Cycle Demonstrated in Arches Natl. Park • This is one of the many arches in the park. • This rock formation is sedimentary rock that has been changed by weathering and erosion. Taken By: Amanda

  7. Rock Cycle in Arches cont. • This is a picture of the Three Gossips. • This was formed by sedimentary rock eroding into a strange shape. Taken by: Amanda

  8. Demonstration of the Rock Cycle in Arches • This Is the tower of Babel • It is a Metamorphic rock it was formed by heat and pressure from and igneous rock • Later it was Changed by erosion to create this shape Taken By: Amanda

  9. Rock Cycle in Arches cont. • The Double Arch • This unique arch was formed by weathering, erosion and deposition. • It is a sedimentary rock that has been forming for over thousand of years. Taken by: Amanda

  10. THE END • Any Questions?
