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?”

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
