Mantle Convection Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in the mantle. Convection and the Mantle How does a Lava Lamp Model Convection Currents?

Rock Origins Rocks are classified by the way they formed. Classifying Rocks

How Sedimentary Rock Forms Sedimentary rocks form through a series of processes over millions of years. Sedimentary Rocks

What is the proper sequence of the terms in the word bank that will show how mountains can change into sedimentary rock? Sedimentary Rocks

The Rock Cycle Through melting, weathering and erosion, and heat and pressure, the rock cycle constantly changes rocks from one type into another type. The Rock Cycle

Patterns in the Rock Cycle: Surface Events All of the paths of the rock cycle result from only a few surface and subsurface processes. What words belong in the empty boxes in the graphic organizer?
