Rock Cycle (Holt Science and Technology Earth Science pg. 90-96)
The rock cycle is the series of processes in which a rock forms, changes from one type to another, is destroyed, and forms again by geological processes. Water, ice, and gravity can break down rocks and make them gather together.Uplift is the movement within the earth that causes rocks inside the earth move to the earth's surface. Rocks from the earth's surface to go down and become different types of rocks through process of the rock cycle. Buried rock is shown at the earth's surface through a combination of erosion and uplift. Metamorphic rocks form when parts of the crust collide a few rocks go downward and face intense heat and pressure make sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks. Deposition is the process in which material is laid down. A rock is a naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals or organic matter.
