hey its me MR. sandstone again and each type of rock can go on a different journy through the rock cycle
Loading...
hi i'm mr sandstone, im just one type of sedimentary rock
Loading...
hi i'm siltstone, another type of sedimentary rock
Loading...
im shale, the most common type of sedimentary rock
Loading...
as I go through the rock cycle I will change from one rock to another so I wont be a siltstone anymore
Loading...
me shale can go on a different journey through the rock cycle then MR. sandstone on the top part of the page
Loading...
in the rock cycle rocks can become a different rock like a metomorphic rock and igneous rock
Loading...
some rocks that go through the rock cycle get minerals
Loading...
one way that rocks can change if with erosion. eroion is when water or wind break down rocks
Loading...
there can be different stages to get from one rock to another like metomorphic rocks turn into magme before they turn into igneous rocks
Loading...
and for a igneous rock to become a sedimentary rock they have to turn into sediment
Loading...
sediment is a lot of little rock pecies like gravel or sand
one way rocks change is with compaction. compaction is when rocks get mashed together
compaction happens when sediment turn into sedimentary rock
some rocks get crystallization witch is when rock get crystals on or in them
metamorphic are rocks that get heated for a very long time and igneous is when lava or magma get cooled down so much that you can break it appart
so i hope that you have learned something new about rock
the rock cycle will be on the next page for people to see
