1 The Rock Cycle

2 Rock cycle metamorphic rocks igneous rocks sedimentary rocks important to note rock types, processes, intermediary states, and shortcuts

3 IGNEOUS ROCK

4 Magma cools & solidifies Igneous Rock The Rock Cycle

5 Weathering- Surface processes that physically disrupt and chemically change rocks

6 Transport of Weathered Materials

7 Sediment Deposition

8 Magma cools & solidifies Igneous Rock Weathering Transport & Deposition Sediment The Rock Cycle

9 SEDIMENTARY ROCK Lithification 1 mm

10 cools & solidifies Igneous Rock Weathering Transport & Deposition Sedimentary Rock Lithification The Rock Cycle Magma Sediment

11 Sedimentary rocks exposed in the Canadian Rockies

12 cools & solidifies Igneous Rock Weathering Transport & Deposition Sedimentary Rock Lithification Weathering Transport & Deposition The Rock Cycle Magma Sediment

13 METAMORPHIC ROCKS

14 cools & solidifies Igneous Rock Weathering Transport & Deposition Sedimentary Rock Lithification Weathering Transport & Deposition Metamorphic Rock Heat & Pressure The Rock Cycle Heat & Pressure Magma Sediment

15 Limestone- sedimentary rock Marble- metamorphic rock

16 If there is melting, then it’s not metamorphism

17 The Rock Cycle cools & solidifies Igneous Rock Weathering Transport & Deposition Sedimentary Rock Lithification Weathering Transport & Deposition Metamorphic Rock Heat & Pressure melting Heat & Pressure melting Magma Sediment

18 The Rock Cycle cools & solidifies Igneous Rock Weathering Transport & Deposition Sedimentary Rock Lithification Weathering Transport & Deposition Metamorphic Rock Heat & Pressure melting Heat & Pressure melting Weathering Transport & Deposition Magma Sediment

19 The Rock Cycle cools & solidifies Igneous Rock Weathering Transport & Deposition Sedimentary Rock Lithification Weathering Transport & Deposition Metamorphic Rock Heat & Pressure melting Heat & Pressure melting Weathering Transport & Deposition Magma Sediment
