Rock cycle quick lesson copy

The process by which rocks are broken down, recycled, and formed into other rocks.

The process by which the tectonic plates shift, form new landforms, and cause earthquakes.

The process by which rain, wind, and ice crystalize sediments into new rocks.

The process by which heat and pressure weather and erode sediments into new rocks

oceanic, continental, tectonic

igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary

Ignatius, metamorphism, solidification

folding, faulting, subduction

movement of oceanic currents

movement of wind and water

movement of tectonic plates

movement of molten rock and the mantle

One tectonic plate breaking up and forming two new ones.

One tectonic plate being pushed under another.

One tectonic plate colliding with another.

One tectonic plate rising from the oceanic crust to the continental crust.

It is pushed into the core and becomes iron.

The heat and pressure turns it to metamorphic rock.

It breaks into chunks that join other plates.

It is pushed into the mantle and melted.
