The Rock Cycle

Once igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks are formed, do they stay in the same form forever?

No, rocks can change over time
Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock.
Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock.
Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock.

In other words…
Any rock can become any other kind of rock.
What causes these changes to happen?

Two major processes cause rocks to change:
1. Plate Tectonics
2. Weathering & Erosion
![Page 6: The Rock Cycle. Once igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks are formed, do they stay in the same form forever? Once igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d885503460f94a6d975/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Plate Tectonics Review
According to Plate Tectonic Theory, the surface of the Earth is broken into large plates.
![Page 7: The Rock Cycle. Once igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks are formed, do they stay in the same form forever? Once igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d885503460f94a6d975/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The position of tectonic plates changes over time. Plates are in constant motion.
The edges of these plates, where they move against each other, are sites of intense geological activity, such as Earthquakes & volcanoes Subduction (as rocks move
deeper they undergo heat and pressure)
Uplift (such as mountain building)

Erosion is another major process that modifies the earth’s surface.

What causes erosion? Wind, Water, and Gravity
With time, erosion breaks down all the rock material at the earth’s surface and redistributes it, carrying it to other places.
The eroded rock pieces, called sediments, drop from the wind or water to make a layer. This is called deposition because the sediments have been “deposited” on the bottom of a river or on the ocean floor or on land.

Compaction and Cementation
When the deposited layers gets buried under other layers of sediment, they go through compaction and cementation (also known as “lithification”) becoming sedimentary rock.

IGNEOUS ROCK Igneous rock forms when magma
cools and makes crystals. Magma is a hot liquid made of melted
minerals. When it pours out on Earth's surface, magma is called lava. The minerals can form crystals when they cool.
Igneous rock can form underground, where the magma cools slowly. This forms intrusive igneous rocks.
Or, igneous rock can form above ground, where the magma cools quickly. This forms extrusive igneous rocks.

METAMORPHIC ROCK Metamorphic rocks are formed by
heat and pressure. Heat “bakes” the rock. The rock
does not melt, but it does change. It forms crystals, and if it has crystals already, it forms larger crystals.
Because this rock changes, it is called metamorphic.
Metamorphosis can occur in rocks when they are heated to 300 to 700 degrees Celsius.

THE ROCK CYCLE Landforms made of
metamorphic rocks and igneous rocks can be broken up and washed away by streams through erosion.
New sediments from these landforms can make new sedimentary rock.
The rock cycle never stops.
