Rock Cycle
The rock cycle is a system that shows how rocks change or transform over time. So, basically how rocks transform from one stage to another. The rock stages are Metamorphic, Igneous, and Sedimentary rock.
Metamorphic Rock
Metomorphic rock, this rock is made from heat and pressure from the Earth's curst and thermal energy from it's core. This what it looks like:
While inside the Earth Crust, the heat of the magma and the pressure of the tectonic plates form metamorphic rock.
Igneous Rock
Igneous rock, this made of magma from volcano's, then when exposed to air cools into a igneous rock. When tectontuc plates create a convergent boundry, it makes a volcano. The volcano can errupt and produce lava that lava will cool and become igneous rock.
Sedimentary Rock
Sedimentary rock, this rock is made out of sediments through compaction and cementation. Wind blows on other rocks, and waters crack the rock breaking it into sediments But, when pressure increases the sediments combine together. Making sedimentary rock.
