The Rock Cycle Process

Rock cycle

Introduction of Rocks

  • As we recycle paper, plastic and other things, our Earth also recycles. The one of them are Rocks.
  • Rocks are formed naturally formed that is solid mixture of one or more minerals.
  • The process which the old rocks forms to new rocks is called rock cycle.
  • Rocks were important natural resource in human society because all the tools were first made by rocks.
  • tools
  1. knives
  2. spear points
  3. scrapers
  4. arrow heads
  5. etc.
  • buildings were made out of granite limestone marble sandstone and other.
  • process to break down rocks in to fragments is wind, water, ice, and heat.
  • They use process of erosion to remove sediment from its source.
  • After erosion dropped and comes to rest it is called deposition.
  • sedimentary rocks could also can be formed by buried sediment is squeezed by the weight or overlying the layers of sediment.
  • If the heat and pressure is high enough they could change into metamorphic rock.
  1. igneous rock (weathering and erosion)=>sedimentary rock(heat and pressure)=> metamorphic rock(melting=> magma(cooling)=>igneous.*the order never changes it goes on and on.
  • composition- it describes a mineral that rocks contain.
  • The size, shape, position determines *Texture
  • fined grain, medium grained and coarse grained rocks.
  • We can find out how did the rock formed and where did they formed by looking their texture.
