    The Rock Cycle diagram shows how rocks continuously change from one form to another through geological processes. Igneous rock forms when magma or lava cools and solidifies. Sedimentary rock forms from the lithification of sediments derived from weathered igneous and metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rock forms when igneous or sedimentary rock is altered by heat or pressure in the Earth's crust. The rock cycle then repeats as rocks are weathered, eroded, deposited, lithified, and metamorphosed over geological time.

    The Rock Cycle

    The Rock Cycle is a continuous process by which rocks are created,


    changed from one form to another, destroyed, and then formed
    again. These are the processes of the Rock Cycle!

    Magma/
    Lava
    Magma is molten
    rock that is
    underground and
    lava is molten rock
    that breaks through Igneous
    the Earth's surface.

    Igneous rock forms


    when magma or lava
    crystallizes and
    solidifies
    Sediments
    Cycle Restarts!

    Sediment forms when


    weathering and erosion
    break down the igneous

    rock into pebbles, sand,


    and mud. Sedimentary
    Rock

    Sedimentary rock
    forms when
    sediments settle on
    Metamorphic top of one another
    Rock and compressed.

    Metamorphic rock
    forms when igneous
    or sedimentary rock
    has been changed
    due to high heat or
    pressure.
