  1. THE ROCK CYCLE

  2. Color the three ovals on your paper with the same colors as below. Use only crayons or colored pencils.

  3. What should go in the blue oval?

  4. THE ROCK CYCLE SEDIMENTARY Draw two blue arrows to the blue oval. Write SEDIMENTARY in the blue oval.

  5. THE ROCK CYCLE SEDIMENTARY What should we label these two arrows if they are “formation processes?”

  6. THE ROCK CYCLE SEDIMENTARY Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction What should we label the green oval?

  7. THE ROCK CYCLE SEDIMENTARY Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction METAMORPHIC Draw two green arrows to the green oval. Write METAMORPHIC in the green oval.

  8. THE ROCK CYCLE SEDIMENTARY Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction METAMORPHIC What should we label them?

  9. THE ROCK CYCLE SEDIMENTARY Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Heat & Pressure METAMORPHIC Heat & Pressure What should we label the red oval?

  10. THE ROCK CYCLE SEDIMENTARY Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Heat & Pressure METAMORPHIC IGNEOUS Heat & Pressure Draw two red arrows toward the red oval. Write IGNEOUS in the red oval.

  11. THE ROCK CYCLE SEDIMENTARY Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Heat & Pressure METAMORPHIC IGNEOUS Heat & Pressure What should these red arrows be labeled?

  12. THE ROCK CYCLE SEDIMENTARY Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Heat & Pressure Melting & Cooling Melting & Cooling METAMORPHIC IGNEOUS Heat & Pressure

  13. THE ROCK CYCLE SEDIMENTARY Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Heat & Pressure Melting & Cooling Melting & Cooling METAMORPHIC IGNEOUS Heat & Pressure There are three arrows missing on this diagram. Can you guess what color they are and where they go?

  14. THE ROCK CYCLE SEDIMENTARY Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Heat & Pressure Melting & Cooling Melting & Cooling METAMORPHIC IGNEOUS Heat & Pressure DOYOUNEEDA HINT?

  15. THE ROCK CYCLE SEDIMENTARY Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Heat & Pressure Melting & Cooling Melting & Cooling METAMORPHIC IGNEOUS Heat & Pressure Who got it right??

  16. THE ROCK CYCLE Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction SEDIMENTARY Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Cementation, Compaction Heat & Pressure Melting & Cooling Melting & Cooling METAMORPHIC IGNEOUS Heat & Pressure Melting & Cooling Heat & Pressure Label the new arrows.

  17. This diagram shows where each type of rock occurs.

  18. Where do sedimentary rocks form?

  19. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS form near the surface and under water by COMPACTION from a few layers above.

  20. Where do METAMORPHIC ROCKS form?

  21. METAMORPHIC ROCKS form deep underground by Pressure from many layers above.

  22. Where do IGNEOUS ROCKS form?

  23. Extrusive igneous rocks form on or near the surface. Intrusive igneous rocks form below the surface.

  24. What process is probably occurring here or did occur in the recent past?

  25. Compaction under water - forming SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

  26. What process is probably occurring deep under these mountains?

  27. Heat & Pressure - forming METAMORPHIC ROCKS

  28. What process is probably occurring here?

  29. Melting & Cooling - forming IGNEOUS ROCKS

  30. How is this diagram similar and different from your sketched rock cycle diagram?

  31. How is this diagram similar and different from your own sketch?

  32. THE END BONUS: Which picture portrays which formation process? A. C. B. What type of rock is each process forming?
