The Rock Cycle

Summary:
The Rock Cycle could be a continuous series of events that rocks in several forms bear. Any rock will begin at any state within the rock cycle and become the other variety of rock over time. Rocks will turn into completely different forms through heat, pressure, cooling, weathering and erosion, and compacting and cementing. There square measure 3 main sorts of rocks within the rock cycle. These forms square measure known as matter rocks, Igneous rocks, and Metamorphic rocks. matter rocks square measure created once items of tiny sediments square measure compacted from pressure over time and cemented. They type one rock and become a stone. A stone is made once another rock is heated and pressured. Finally, and stone is created from rock cooled either higher than or below the surface of the world.

XCC:
This week's Cross Cutting thought is Patterns. within the rock cycle, there square measure several patterns within the method of the various rocks being shaped. every style of rock is created in a very specific method. supported however the rock is created, it's classified into a special class of rock. One pattern within the rock cycle square measure Metamorphic rocks or Igneous rocks breaking down into sediments, the sediments obtaining compacted and cemented and changing into matter rocks. Another pattern within the rock cycle is that the stone obtaining heated and pressured dynamic it into a stone.
