  1. Cause and Effect In the Rock Cycle http://www.rocksandminerals4u.com/images/rock-cycle-diagram-im.jpg

  2. Igneous Rock An Igneous Rock starts out as liquid rock called magma.

  3. There Are Two Kinds of Igneous Rock • If magma cools and hardens inside Earth, it becomes an intrusive Igneous Rock. • If magma comes to Earth’s surface, it is called lava. • When lava cools and hardens on the surface of Earth, it becomes an extrusive Igneous Rock.

  4. Igneous Rock can change to Sedimentary Rock Andesite: An extrusive Igneous Rock Breccia: A Sedimentary Rock www.mii.org/Minerals/photoandesite.html http://www.guilford.edu/geology/imagelibrary/MVC-048F.JPG

  5. Moss weathers an Igneous Rock. The moss produces an acid that breaks rock down into sediment. http://wwwfs.org/2003/Iceland_Aug03/P8200288a.jpg

  6. Sediments are transported by moving water to a lake or ocean.

  7. Sediments are compacted by the weight of the water above.

  8. Igneous Rock can change to Metamorphic Rock Granite: An Intrusive Igneous Rock Gneiss: A Metamorphic Rock http://www.beg.utexas.edu/mainweb/publications/graphics/granite-400.jpg http://skywalker.cochise.edu/wellerr/rocks/mtrx/6mrx-gneiss-flat2.jpg

  9. An intrusive Igneous Rock is formed deep underground. http://www.minsocam.org/MSA/K12/rkcycle/intrusives.html

  10. An intrusive Igneous Rock is heated up by nearby magma, but does not melt. http://www.windows.ucar.edu/earth/geology/images/batholith_sm.gif

  11. The crystals become larger, and the rock becomes denser. http://www.minsocam.org/MSA/K12/rkcycle/nonfoliated.html

  12. Granite is an Igneous Rock often used to make countertops.
