jebica's Amazing Adventure Through the Rock Cycle
Storyboard Text
- Hello ! My name is Jebica the rock.I am an igneous rock . Today I will be taking you on a journey called the ‘Rock Cycle’ . Get ready because this ride is going to be bumpy! We will be in our trip at the mountain.
- Now , the first thing that happens to us rocks is weathering in which me and my other friends are broken down because of the Earth’s atmosphere, so erosion can occur . In erosion the sediments of rock are transported down the mountain using nature , like water and wind.
- Now we are at the mountain stream . After the transportation , deposition occurs in which we are further broken down and are deposited in the stream. These small pieces are those which level the ground and make up the bed.
- Now , we are on the bed. Here , after many layers are formed from the deposition the sedimentation occurs. The first thing in sedimentation is compaction in which , because of the pressure from the layers of sediments above and water , compress the layers below. Then cementation occurs in which the sediments are glued/bound together to form sedimentary rocks.
- After the the sedimentation we near the core where metamorphism occurs. In this stage we rocks face immense heat and pressure from the core (magma) , resulting in a new rock and a different texture which can be simply defined as : The sedimentary rock morphing into a metamorphic rock .
- Finally we come back to where we had started . After metamorphism , Lava eruption occurs and reaches to the surface through a volcano. The lava later solidifies and I am formed , and igneous rock! This cycle then keeps repeating itself from the start. I hope you learnt about the cycle rocks go through and how I was formed! Bye !
