The rock cycle is a basic concept in geology that describes how igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are related and change over time. Learn about the processes of magma formation, erosion, sedimentation, metamorphism, and plate tectonics that drive the rock cycle.
22 sie 2023 · Learn about the rock cycle, the natural process that forms, breaks down, and reforms rock types through geological, chemical, and physical processes. Explore the importance, types, and steps of the rock cycle, and the forces that drive it.
11 kwi 2024 · Learn how rocks are formed, changed and recycled by Earth's internal heat, the Sun, weathering, erosion and metamorphism. Explore examples of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks and their features.
The rock cycle is a web of processes that outlines how each of the three major rock types—igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary—form and break down based on the different applications of heat and pressure over time. For example, sedimentary rock shale becomes slate when heat and pressure are added.
22 sie 2024 · Learn how rocks are formed, changed, and recycled by Earth's internal heat, plate tectonics, and hydrological cycle. Explore the three types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, and their examples and processes.
13 gru 2023 · The rock cycle is a series of processes that create and transform the types of rocks in Earth’s crust.
Learn how rocks form, transform, and interact with the Earth system through the rock cycle. Explore the diagram, infographic, and model to see the processes and phenomena involved in the rock cycle and their effects on the environment.
