What is the Rock Cycle?
- The rock cycle is a way that rocks change from one type to another over a long time.
- There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
- Rocks can melt, break, and change due to heat and pressure.
Examples:
- Igneous rocks, like granite, are formed when melted rocks cool down.
- Sedimentary rocks, like limestone, are made from tiny pieces of rocks that stick together.
- Metamorphic rocks, like marble, are made when heat and pressure change existing rocks into something new.
Fun Fact: The rock cycle can take millions of years, and it never stops! Just like how the weather changes, rocks can change, too.
