1. Objective 12/5/12
Describe how each type of rock changes into another type as it moves through the rock cycle.
Intro
What are rocks made of?
Do you know the name of any rocks?
How are they formed?

2. Rock Cycle

3. Rock Cycle
rock
A naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals, rock particles or organic matter

4. Rock Cycle How are rocks classified? Based on how they are formed
Some originate in magma
Others from sediments
Others are squished and heated.

5. Rock Cycle Three Types of Rocks Igneous Sedimentary Metamorphic
Texture can help determine the type of rock

6. Rock Cycle
Rock Cycle
The continual process by which new rock forms from old rock material.

7. Rock Cycle Igneous Rocks Sedimentary Rock Form when molten rock cools
Rocks that weather and erode are called sediments
When sediments are compacted they create sedimentary rock

9. Rock Cycle Weathering Sediments Erosion Compaction
Breaking down of rocks into tiny pieces
Tiny pieces of rock
Process of transporting sediments
Process of sediments becoming squished together to form a rock

11. Rock Cycle Metamorphic Rock
Forms when rocks are put under enormous heat & pressure

13. Objective 12/5/12
Describe how each type of rock changes into another type as it moves through the rock cycle.
