Rock Cycle-Continuous changing and remaking of rocks Any of the 3 types of rocks can be transformed into another type of rock by natural Earth processes Igneous rocks are formed from the crystallization of magma Granite-Makes up Earth’s continental crust Basalt-Makes up Earth’s oceanic crust Sedimentary rocks are rocks that were formed through the deposition and solidification of sediments Sediments-Pieces of solid material Sandstone, Limestone Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are changed by heat and/or pressure The heat allows atoms to rearrange themselves Gneiss, Marble Igneous Rock Formation: Sedimentary and Metamorphic rocks can be melted down, and then cooled to form igneous rocks Sedimentary Rock Formation: Igneous or Metamorphic rocks can become weathered and eroded and then lithified (cemented together) into sedimentary rocks Metamorphic Rock Formation: Igneous and Sedimentary Rocks can be transformed by heat or pressure to form metamorphic rocks
