By: Sarah Barnes. How Rocks Change. Introduction. All rocks . change slowly from one type to another, again and again. The changes form a cycle, called "the rock cycle.". The way rocks change depends on various processes that are always taking place on and under the earth's surface. Now let's take a closer look at each of these processes. . Did anyone ever have a rock collection?. Where do you think these rocks came from?. Do these rocks last forever?. THE ROCK CYCLE. Earth Science. The Rock Cycle. Rock Cycle – A series of processes that transform material from the stages of magma, igneous rock, sediment, sedimentary rock, or metamorphic rock to another. . R. o. c. k. . C. y. c. l. e.

Igneous Rock . . Igneous rocks are formed by magma and lava as it cools. Igneous rocks form in two different ways. . rocks form?. Metamorphic Rocks. Rocks that are created because of a change in pressure and temperature.. Metamorphic Rock Formation. Metamorphic rocks can form igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks.. Hill Science 6. Earth Processes. DO NOW . 1. What type of rock is created when molten rock cools and hardens?. 2. What type of rock is created when existing rock is changed by heat and pressure?. 3. What type of rock is created when rock is weathered, eroded, deposited, compacted and cemented?. Metamorphic Rocks. “Meta” means change (Greek). “Morph” means form (Greek). A rock that has been changed from its original form (parent rock) by heat, pressure, and fluid activity into a new form (daughter rock).. Metamorphism. Causes of Metamorphism. Elevated T & P. Fluids (H2O, CO2, CH4, etc.). Directed Stress. Types of Metamorphism. Regional: occur along convergent plate boundaries.. Contact: occurs along margin of a magma intrusion.. What is Metamorphism. Metamorphism. (from the Greek words for “changing form”) is the process by which rising temperature and changes in other environmental conditions transform rocks and minerals. The Rock Cycle. Defined: . The process by which all rocks on Earth are formed and how basic Earth materials are recycled over time . Note: A very, very long time. The Rock Cycle. Three main types of rock on Earth.
