THE ROCK CYCLE

Draw three ovals on your paper.

What should go in the blue oval ?

THE ROCK CYCLE SEDIMENTARY Draw two blue arrows to the blue oval.

What should we label these two arrows if they are “formation processes?” THE ROCK CYCLE SEDIMENTARY

THE ROCK CYCLE Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction What should we label the green oval? SEDIMENTARY Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction

SEDIMENTARY Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction THE ROCK CYCLE METAMORPHIC Draw two green arrows to the green oval.

THE ROCK CYCLE SEDIMENTARY Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction METAMORPHIC What should we label them?

THE ROCK CYCLE SEDIMENTARY Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction METAMORPHIC Heat & Pressure What should we label the red oval?

THE ROCK CYCLE Draw two red arrows toward the red oval. SEDIMENTARY METAMORPHIC Heat & Pressure IGNEOUS Heat & Pressure Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction

THE ROCK CYCLE What should these red arrows be labeled? SEDIMENTARY METAMORPHIC Heat & Pressure IGNEOUS Heat & Pressure Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction

THE ROCK CYCLE SEDIMENTARY METAMORPHIC Heat & Pressure IGNEOUS Heat & Pressure Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Melting & Cooling

THE ROCK CYCLE There are three arrows missing on this diagram. Can you guess what color the are and where they go? SEDIMENTARY METAMORPHIC Heat & Pressure IGNEOUS Heat & Pressure Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Melting & Cooling

THE ROCK CYCLE DO YOU NEED A HINT? SEDIMENTARY METAMORPHIC Heat & Pressure IGNEOUS Heat & Pressure Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Melting & Cooling

THE ROCK CYCLE Who got it right?? SEDIMENTARY METAMORPHIC Heat & Pressure IGNEOUS Heat & Pressure Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Melting & Cooling

THE ROCK CYCLE Label the new arrows. SEDIMENTARY METAMORPHIC Heat & Pressure IGNEOUS Heat & Pressure Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Melting & Cooling Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Heat & Pressure Melting & Cooling

This diagram shows where each type of rock occurs.

Where do sedimentary rocks form?

SEDIMENTARY ROCKS form near the surface under water by COMPACTION from a few layers above.

Where do METAMORPHIC ROCKS form?

METAMORPHIC ROCKS form deep underground by Pressure from many layers above.

Where do IGNEOUS ROCKS form?

Extrusive igneous rocks form on or near the surface. Intrusive igneous rocks form below the surface.

What process is probably occurring here or did occur in the recent past?

Compaction under water - forming SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

What process is probably occurring deep under these mountains?

Heat & Pressure - forming METAMORPHIC ROCKS

What process is probably occurring here?

Melting & Cooling - forming IGNEOUS ROCKS

How is this diagram similar and different from your sketched rock cycle diagram?

How is this diagram similar and different from your own sketch?

THE END BONUS: Which picture portrays which formation process? A. B. C. What type of rock is each process forming?
