Essential Question: What are the processes that make rock change into other rocks?
Questions:

Metamorphic rock can change into igneous rock through melting and cooling of

Metamorphic rock can change into sedimentary rock by weathering,
erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation of sediments.

S
Igneous rock can change back into igneous rock through melting and cooling of
magma
Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock by weathering,
erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation of sediments.
What process change rocks into
sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary = weathering(breaking down of rock), erosion(rock being carried away),
deposition(being dropped off or deposited somewhere else), compaction and
cementation of sediments.
What process change rocks into
igneous rock?
Igneous = melting and cooling (crystallization) of magma
What process change rocks into
metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic = heat and pressure
What are sediments?
Sediments = small pieces of rock
What is lava?
What is magma?
What is a cycle?
Lava = liquid rock above ground
Magma = liquid rock below ground
Cycle = a process that repeats itself over and over
