1. THE ROCK CYCLE
THIS POWER POINT WAS CREATED IN PART BY Patrick Taylor and Annamae Johnson A.K.A PETE

2. IGNEOUS ROCK http://canarygeog.canaryzoo.com/Geog1/igneous rocks i.jpg
1. STEP CHOICES
THE NUMBER STEP CHOICES AN IGNEOUS ROCK HAS IS 3.
THE 3 CHOCIES ARE HEAT AND PRESURE, MELTING AND EROSION.
THESE STEPS LEAD TO METAMORPHIC,MAGMA ,AND SEDIMENT
2. FORMING
IGNEOUS ROCKS FORM WHEN LAVA OR MAGMA COOLS.
IT COULD TAKE SECOND OR YEARS TO COMPLETE.
THE FASTER IT COOLS THE FINER THE GRAIN IT HAS.
THE ROCK CAN FORM IN OR OUTSIDE THE MANTLE AND CRUST.

3. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS http://canarygeog. canaryzoo
SEDIMENTARY ROCKS rocks i.jpg
1. STEP CHOICES
HAS ONLY 2 CHOCIES HEAT AND PRESURE, AND EROSION
THESE LEAD TO METAMORPHIC ROCK AND SEDIMENT.
THE SEDIMENT THEN FORMS AN EVEN MORE MIXED SEDIMENTARY ROCK.
2. FORMING
FORMS FROM SEDIMENT
IT TAKES 4 STEPS FOR SEDIMENT TO FORM SEDIMENTARY ROCK (EROSION, DEPOSITION, COMPACTION, AND CEMENTION.)
IT TAKES 100S OF 1000S OF YEARS TO FORM.

4. METAMORPHIC ROCK http://www. gsi
METAMORPHIC ROCK rocks.jpg
1. STEP CHOICES
METAMORPHIC ROCK HAS 2 CHOICES MELTING OR EROSION.
MELTING WOULD LESD TO MAGMA, AND EROISION WOULD LEAD TO SEDIMENT.
METAMORPHIC ROCK IS DESTROIED TO FORM NEW ROCKS SO THE ROCK CYCLE CONTINUES.
2. FORMING
FORMS FROM ANY KIND OF ROCK.
IT IS CAUSED WHEN A ROCK IS PUT UNDER INTENSE HEAT AND PRESURE.
IT CAN ONLY FORMIN THE MANTLE OR CORES OF EARTH.

5. ROCK CYCLE http://www.public.asu.edu/~edimaggi/Pictures/rockcycle.jpg
1. FACTS
The rock cycle has 5 main sections (igneous, sedimentary, sediment, metamorphic, and magma.)
The rock cycle can go almost any way it wants. Its not like the water cycle were it goes in certain order.
2. INFORATION
All other information is found in the picture. Like the steps the way to the steps and the paths each step can take I would highly suggest clicking on the link to go see the picture. It also has a cool design as well its pictures in a picture.

6. QUESTIONS
1. PLATE TECTONICS AFFECT THE ROCK CYCLE IN MANY WAYS INCLUDING, TRANSFORM BOUNDARIES CAUSE EARTHQUAKES WICH CAN CRACK HOLES IN THE EARTH TO HELP EROD ROCK OR FORM META MORFHIC ROCK. ANOTHER WAY IS CONVERGANT BOUNDARIES FORM VOLCANES TO HELP RELEASE LAVA TO FORM IGNEOUS ROCK, AND DIVERGANT BOUDARIES FORM RIFT VALLEIES TO FORM METAMORFHIC ROCK, SOMETIMES HOTSPOTS WILL FORM MAKEING IGNEOUS ROCK. I LEARNED ALL OF THIS DURING THE TIME PERIOD WHEN WE WERE LEARNING ABOUT PLATE TECTONICS.
2. ANOTHER CYCLE I KNOW THAT IS CONTINUOUS IS THE WATER CYCLE, I KNOW THIS FROM 6TH GRADE SCIENCE MS. VIGNESS.
3. THE ROCK CYCLE DOESN'T HAVE A BEGGING OR END, BECAUSE IT CAN GO IN ANY ORDER AND CONTINUES FOREVER. I LEARNED THIS FROM ONE OF MISS ARMSTRONG'S LECTURES.
