Hi, my name is Victor the Volcano and I am at the start of the rock cycle.
Deep in my crust sometimes it gets sooo hot my rocks start to melt which makes me erupt. When I erupt I eject lava. Lava is a rocky liquid found in volcanoes. It can reach tempatures of up to 1200 degrees celsius. My best friend Isabelle the Igneous Rock lives in my lava
Hi, my name is Isabelle the Igneous Rock. Me and my family live in Victor the Volcano but sometimes it gets too hot so we go on a little holiday. When I'm inside the volcano I am in a hot, molten lava form but when I leave the volcano I cool and solitify which results in me turning into my solid igneous rock form. Sometimes I can also transform into a granite or diorite, just like my brothers Garry and Dylan.
Hi, I'm Dylan the Diorite
Hi, I'm Garry the Granite
Hi, we are the Sediments. We are small pieces of rock that are the result of larger rocks that have weathered and eroded. We move from place to place with the help of water, wind and ice. With the help of some organic material we bunch together and make a sedimetary rock or as we like to call it, a super sediment.
Hi, my name is Charlie the Coal
Hi, I am the Super Sediment also known as a Sedimentary Rock. You know the Sediments from before? Well were the Sediments, just compacted together to create this Super Sediment. We usually form underground. I am not the only sort of rock that can be created by compaction. Meet my Super Sediment Sidekicks Charlie, Sam and Linda.
Hi, my name is Sam the Sandstone
Hi, my name is Linda the Limestone
Hi, My name is Quinton the Quartzite
Hi, My name is Mike the Metamorphic Rock. I use to be one of the Super Sediments (Sedimentary Rock) but due to extreme heat and pressure, I am a Metamophic Rock. Because I have flat minerals, when I was exposed to the pressure my minerals decided to line up in layers, which created foliation. Remember Garry the Granite from before? Well he told me that this happens to him too exept he turns into Gneiss. Just like when I was a sedimentary rock, I transform underground in the Earth's crush. Meet my brothers and sisters Quinton, Mason and Sophie. They are metamorphic rocks just like me.
Hi, My name is Mason the Marble
Hi, My name is Sophie the Soapstone
Hi, we call ourselves the floating magma rocks. Remember Mike the Metamorphic rock and his brothers and sisters? Well they got a little bit hot so they went for a little swim. They swam all the way to the bottom but while they were down there the oceanic plate and the continental plate collided which meant they got sucked under the Earths crust
