Engage in coloring and labeling the rock cycle as magma, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks form through processes like melting, cooling, compaction, and heat and pressure changes. Explore how weathering and erosion contribute to rock formation. Follow along with this educational activity to deepen your understanding of geology.

Rock Cycle – Follow along on your worksheet. Be sure to color and label as indicated.
Magma – rock that has melted under intense heat and pressure Magma Melting Melting
Igneous Rock – magma or lava has cooled and solidified Igneous Rock Cooling
Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic Rock is worn down by weathering and erosion, forming sediments. Weathering & Erosion Sediments Weathering & Erosion Weathering & Erosion
Compaction – sediments form layers over time, and the layers are pressed and cemented together. Compaction
Sedimentary Rock – sediments that have compacted over time, may contain organic matter and fossils, too. Sedimentary Rock
Metamorphic Rock – heat and pressure changes the rock. Heat & Pressure Metamorphic Rock Heat & Pressure
