Formation Processes
1. Turn your paper to the “landscape” position, and then fold in half the long way (hot dog style).
(Fold Here)
2. On the front page, you will see that your paper has the title “Rock Cycle” and has 3 types of rocks listed. Under
the rock types, draw a picture that represents that rock type. For example, igneous rocks are made from lava
or magma, so you could draw a volcano.
