Introduction

• The rock cycle is an idealized cycle of processes undergone by rocks on the earths crust.

Sedimentary rocks

• Sedimentary rocks form when little grains of rock get super heated and are pressed together to make rock.

Igneous rocks

• Metamorphic rocks form when magma from volcanoes erupts and cools on the Earths surface. Depending on how fast the lava cooled is how big the crystals are.

Metamorphic rocks

• Metamorphic rocks form when other types of rocks undergo extreme heat, chemical changes or pressure.

• 1. Go to the hyper link at the bottom and do research on the rock cycle. Then make a slideshow/ movie in smart notebook explaining how the rock cycle works.
