The rock cycle
About the rock cycle
The idea is for the types of rocks are always changing from one type of rock to another and then back again, from weathering, cooling, eroding or compacting when it is on the surface. From heat, pressure and melting when it is beneath the earth, and the process does it again and again. No new rock are formed/destroyed but just changing all the time.
The rock cycle helps us to see that the earth is like a giant rock recycling machine! [1]
