1. The Rock Cycle This is a rock!

2. The Rock Cycle This is a rock! This rock will undergo a series of occurrences that make up the rock cycle.

3. The Rock Cycle This rock, Was once just sediment, Small particles of sand and rock.

4. The Rock Cycle This sediment, Layers on top of each other over time.. With compaction, it forms sedimentary rocks

5. The Rock Cycle so... Sediment Is compacted.. Into sedimentary rock

6. The Rock Cycle so... Sediment Is compacted.. Into sedimentary rock And the cycle continues..

7. The Rock Cycle This sedimentary rock, Can go into extreme heat and pressure underground, and morph into a Metamorphic rock

8. The Rock Cycle so... Sediment Is compacted.. Into sedimentary rock And the cycle continues.. That goes into extreme heat and pressure underground to form a metamorphic rock

9. The Rock Cycle The metamorphic rock, Can melt underground and turn into magma

10. The Rock Cycle The metamorphic rock, Can melt underground and turn into magma Then, it can cool and harden into igneous rock

11. The Rock Cycle The igneous rock can then be weathered and eroded into sediments, therefore, starting the process over again. sediment

12. The Rock Cycle so... Sediment Is compacted.. Into sedimentary rock And the cycle still continues That goes into extreme heat and pressure underground to form a metamorphic rock It then can melt into magma. And can harden into an igneous rock And be weathered back to sediment
