The Rock Cycle

Dustin Palik

6th Grade Science

E.SE.06.41 Compare and contrast the formation of rock types (igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary) and demonstrate the similarities and differences using the rock cycle model.

SWBAT list the three main rock types.

SWBAT compare and contrast the formation of the three main rock types.

SWBAT demonstrate the similarities and difference using the rock cycle model.

Igneous Rock

Commonly called “fire rocks”Formed underground by cooling of magmaFormed above ground by cooling of lavaExamples:

Granite Pumice

Scoria Obsidian

Return to main

Metamorphic Rock

Rocks have morphed from another typeFormed after extreme heat and pressureExamples:

Schist Gneiss

Return to main

Sedimentary Rock

Weathering and erosion turn rocks into sedimentSediments settle into layers over timeFormed after long periods of time in lowest levelsExamples:

Sandstone Limestone

Shale Conglomerate

Metamorphic rock

Return to main

Metamorphic or Igneous Rock

Return to main

Continuous weathering begins to break down the rock into sediments

Return to main

Sediment can be carried away by wind or water and deposited

Return to main

As more and more rock is weathered and eroded, deposits begin to form layers

Return to main

More layers result in increased depth and pressure

Return to main

The bottom most layer eventually cements together to form a new type of rock – Sedimentary Rock
