  1. Predicting the Rock Cycle

  2. Beginning With Metamorphic Rock Metamorphic Rock (formed under great heat & pressure) Above the Ground Below the Ground May be melted to reform magma Rock may weather & erode; sediments form The magma may cool Sediments fall into layers Igneous Rock Sedimentary Rock

  3. Beginning With Sedimentary Rock Sedimentary Rock (formed when layers of sediment are cemented together) Above the Ground Below the Ground Rock may weather & erode; sediments form May be melted to reform magma Sediments fall into layers The magma may cool Layers may be crushed together with heat & pressure Sedimentary Rock Igneous Rock Metamorphic Rock

  4. Beginning With Igneous Rock Igneous Rock (formed when magma & lava cools & crystallizes) Above the Ground Below the Ground Rock may weather & erode; sediments form May be melted to reform magma Sediments fall into layers The magma may cool May be crushed together with heat & pressure Sedimentary Rock Igneous Rock Metamorphic Rock
