The rock cycle

What is the rock cycle?
The rock cycle is the recycling of rocks and it shows how rocks are turned into different forms of rock.


Here is a diagram on how the rock cycle works:

Sediments come together to form sedimentary rocks.The sedimentary rock then becomes a metamorphic rock under pressure.The metamorphic rock then turns into a igneous rock when it melts and cools.
*Note: The rock cycle does not alsawys follow the same pattern.

To conclude we have added a video on the rock cycle to explain more about it.
