Transcribed Image Text:The Rock Cycle
Can you use the information from the story of Smasher to label the
types of rock correctly?
Complete the following paragraph using the correct vocabulary.
solid Metamorphic Igneous melt magma
buried Sedimentary pressure
erosion
weathering Cycle
There are three main types of rocks: Igneous, Sedimentary and
Each of these types of rocks can be turned into each other in a process known
as the Rock
Most rocks on earth began as an
rock
which are formed from cooled_
The wind and rain breaks the rock
down into smaller pieces called sediments. This process is called_
and
The wind and water carry the sediments into lakes and rivers,
and they sink to the bottom. Over time, the rock will be
by many
more pieces of rock and they stick together forming a new type of rock called
rock. When the Sedimentary rock is buried deep under
the rock turning it into a
the earth's surface, the heat and
Metamorphic rock. The Metamorphic rocks
in the heat and turn
into magma If this magma is cooled either by shooting out of a volcano or
uplifting towards the Earth's surface, then they will turn back into a rock and
become an Igneous rock once more.
