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.

Label the new arrows.
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?
