More Rock Cycle Work

What are the three rock types?  How do you we get from one rock type to the next? Play this rock cycle game to learn more about the rock cycle

Sedimentary, Metamorphic, and Igneous.

Igneous-Metamorphic: Heat and Pressre
Metamorphic-Sedimentary: Erode to sediments then deposition
Sedimentary-Magma/lava: melting
Magma/lava-Sedimentary: Erode then deposition w/pressure

Peters,Jennifer said...

The three rock types are metamorphic, sedimentary and igneous. Igneous rocks turn into metamorphic rocks when they undergo heat and pressure. Meatmorphic rocks turn into sedimentary rocks after they undergo erosion, then deposition then they become compacted and they are sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks turn into meatmorpic rokcs after they undergo heat and pressure. Metamorphic rocks turn into igneous rocks afetr they have melted and turned into magma. Then the magma cools and turns into igneous rocks.

@Courtney
That probably would ahve been an easier way to out things, but oh well. Don't you think it's cool how each rock turns into the next? The animation thing was cool too.

Sedimentary, Igneous, and Metamorphic.
Igneous to Metamorphic: Heat and Pressure.
Metaporphic to Sedimentary: Erode to sediments then deposition.
Sedimentary to Magma/Lava: Melting.
Magma/Lava to Sedimentary: Erode then deposition with pressure.

Sedimentary,Metamorphic, and igneous rock.
Igneous to sedimentary- erosion
Igneous to metamorphic- heat and pressure
Sedimentary to metamorphic- heat and pressure

Henson,Megan said...

@ Jennifer:
I agree the animation was cool and it helped me understand the rock cycle better.

Lamping Ally said...

@ Megan C:
isnt that so cool and weird haha that all 3 rock types and change into eachother?!

- Metamorphic, Sedimentary, and Igneous

Igneous to Sedimentary- Erosion

Igneous to Metamorphic- Heat and Pressure.

Igneous to Magma/Lava - Melting

Metamorphic to Sedimentary- Erode sediments

Sedimentary to Metamorphic- Heat and Pressure.

Sedimentary to Magma/Lava- Melting

@ Ally Lamping
i agree its so wierd how all three rocks can be eachother !

Savard, Samantha said...

The 3 types of rocks are Metamorphic rock, Sedimentary rock adn Igneous rock
The changes from Metamorphic to Sedimentary rock is when it erodes to sediments and deposition hapens.
Igneous to Metamorphic, heat and preasure happens
Igneous to Sedimentary rock,erosion happens

the three rock types are sedimentery, igneous and metamorphic rocks.
igneous turns into metamorphic by heat and preassure. metamorphic turns to sedimentary by erosion, then deposition then they are compacted and their sedimentary rocks, yay!

The three rocks are called sedimentray,metamorpic,and igneous

The rocks goes from one to another are many diffrent ways like erosion or heating and pressuring

sedimentary, igneous ,and metamorphic

sedimentary melts to magma

igneous changes to metamorphic through heat and pressure.

metamorphic can change to sedimentary through erosion the deposition

magma can change back to sedimentary through heat deposition with pressure

Sedimentary,metamorphic and igneouse.

Igneouse to metamorphic would need heat and pressure. Metamorphic to sedimantry you would have to erode to sedimants then deposttion. Sedimenrty forms from magma/lava melting. Magma/lava equals sedimentry but with eroding and depostion with pressure.

@jenifer
i agreee toooooo it was very cool, and they help me under stand the cycles better too thats what i do when i need to know how a rockk forms

Mauricio,Courtney said...

@ Jenn
Yeah, it's REALLY cool! I love the animation, it helped me understand the process!!

-jill stange

-igneous,metamorphic,and sedimentary.
-igneous rocks go through;melting, heat and pressure,and erosion
-metamorphic rocks go through melting and errosion.
-sedimentary rocks go through heat, melting ,and erosion

@taylor
I got the same thing you did so that is so cool.

hutson,cody said...

sedimentary metamorphic and igneous

Sedimenary to metamorphic= heat+pressure

sedimentary to igneous= melting+cooling

Metamorphic to igneous= melting+cooling

Metomorphic to sedimentary= weathering+erosion

igneous to metamorphic =heat+pressure

igneous to sedimentary =weathering+erosion

hutson,cody said...

@sanzere, Anna

what about how all the others change

Alana Gulley said...

The rock cycle:
In the rock cycle, forces inside the earth and on the surface, continuesly create and change igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock. So here are the cycles of each rocks:
Igneous rock goes through erosion, and breaks down into little pieces. Then it goes into depostion to form a sedimentary rock. Then sedimentary rock melts and creates volcanic activity, and ges back to igneous rocks. And when heat and pressure go together ot forms metamorphic rock.

Smith,Courtney said...

The three rock types are Sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous.
Igneous turns into metamorphic rock due to the heat and pressure.
Next metamorphic rock turns into sediments due to erosion by water and wind.Then the rock goes through depostion and into a sedimentary rock . next it will go into melting and then go and cool into igneous rock again.

Sedimentary, Metamorphic, and Igneous rock.
Igneous to sedimentary- erosion.
Igneous to metamorphic- heat and pressure.
Sedimentary to metamorphic- heat and pressure.

johnson, allison said...

sedimentary,metamorphic ,and igneous rocks. igneous to metamorphic is caused by heat and pressure. metamorphic to sedimentary caused by erosion to the sediments then deposition. sedimentary to megma is caused by melting. megma to sedimentary caused by erosion , deposition and weathering.

alyssa weber said...

ALYSSA W, ANNA W
-One rock type is Metamorphic
-Another rock type is sedimentary
-Also Igneous is a type of rock

Anonymous said...

Sedimentary, Metamorphic, and Igneous are the three types of rocks.

Some form by heat and pressure, some with erosion and depositions, and some melting and cooliing

dacoda said...

there is metamorphic rock and igneous rock also sedementary thes are all the diffrnt rocks they go throug all diffrent stages like erosion.

Reis, Elizabeth said...

The three types of rocks are sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous.
To get from igneous to sedimentary, the rock goes through erosion and then deposition.
To get from igneous to metamorphic, the rock goes through heat and pressure.
To get from metamorphic to sedimentary, the rock goes through erosion and then deposition.
To get from metamorphic to igneous, the rock melts and then goes through volcanic activity.

@Courtney
I agree the animations really helped to understand the rock cycle.

Dupont, Noah said...

Sedimentary
Metamorphic
Igneous

Sedimentary can become magma which cools into igenous, or it can undergo enough pressure and heat to become metamorphic.

Igneous can erode into sedimentary, or it can undergo enough pressure and heat to become metamorphic.

Metamorhic can erode into sedimentary, or it can become magma which cools into igenous.

Seriously, doing something like this RIGHT AFTER I did something that involved the same thing which we already did alot is getting a bit tiring. We know all this already! Why keep doing this? I know we're supposed to be learning about this, but emphasising on something this much is so tedious!

that is cool doing the Rock Cycle

cirkovic, daniel said...

Three different rocks are metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary. Igneous rocks are made for lava cooling, sedimentary are made from layers of rock and meatmorphic are made from heat and pressure.

Garvey, Emily said...

Metamorphic, Sedimentary, and Igneous rock.
Igneous to Sedimentary- Erosion
Igneous to Metamorphic- Heat and Pressure.
