The
Rock Cycle
DRAFT 04/ 07/2000 ESW 2000 Rock Cycle MI DEQ GSD - SEW
What is the
Rock Cycle ?
The rock cycle is a sequence involving
the formation of rocks as a result of
natural processes such as magmatism
(melting of rock into magma), erosion,
transportation, deposition,
and metamorphism.
The Rock Cycle involves the
recognition of three main
classes of rocks
The three rock types are …
Sedimentary
CEMETERY
Rocks
Metamorphic
METABOLIC
Rocks
Igneous
INGENIOUS
Rocks
Right?
Minerals combine to form Rocks
Some Rocks are made up of just one
mineral - like rock
the mineral halite).
salt (made up of
Others Rocks are made up of many
minerals - like the granites and
gneisses (made up of feldspars,
quartz, and other minerals).

Any given rock
can go through
any part of the
cycle any number
of times.
