The Rock Cycle
Storyboard Text
- The Rock Cycle Beginning
- The Igneous Rock
- Oh man! That is one weird looking rock!
- Igneous Rock Cycle
- Hi there! My name is Igneous. Let me tell you about myself, I am the rock that comes straight from the volcano. Go over to my friend, Sedimentary to learn more about the rock cycle.
- After the eruption the rocks begin to cool. Some rocks are cooling quicker than others.
- Sedimentary Rock Cycle
- Sup, bro. I see my man Igneous sent you. Anyway, I was created by a whole bunch of other rocks that were compacted and cemented together to form me, yo.
- Over the years, the land and volcano have changed a lot. Now, all of the rocks have cooled and have become igneous rocks.
- The Metamorphic Rock
- Wow! That one looks awesome!
- The Igneous rock is the first of three types of rocks. There are Igneous rocks that cool slowly and there are ones that cool faster than others.
- Metamorphic Rock Cycle
- Hey there, I'm Metamorphic. I was made when, either Igneous or Sedimentary was buried underground. Then they got hot and I was created. Now here I am. Eventually, we will all be one another.
- Rain and wind (called weathering) erode rocks into sediment pieces. Then, they are carried by water and are deposited into water beds.
- Eventually, rocks get buried under ground and start to melt with some heat and pressure. They then become metamorphic rock.
- Metamorphic rocks have layers called bands. Sometimes, rocks can be buried so deep that they can melt back into lava and the whole thing starts over again.
