Rock Cycle

Igneous rock

is created by lava that has cooled

Sedimentary rock

is created by compaction and cementation of loose sediments that is tightly packed together

Metamorphic rock

Heat

Pressure

Tectonic Plate

Earthquakes

Earthquakes are caused by shifts in tectonic plates

Volcanoes

The inside of a volcano has a hot liquid substance which is called magma. When the magma has been cooled it turns into igneous rock

Weathering Processes

Wind

a light wind that carries large amounts dirt, sand and ash from one place to another

Water

Mechanical

When rain displaces the soil

Chemical

acid is in the rain water so it reacts with some of the minerals in the rock around it speeding up its eroding progress

Ice
