I. What are cycles?

• an interval during which a recurring sequence of
  events occurs.

II. What is the rock cycle?

• A series of processes on Earths surface and in
  the crust and mantle that slowly change rocks
  from one kind to another. Interactive Rock Cycle
  Animation
• How can sedimentary rock
  become metamorphic?
• How can metamorphic
  rock become igneous?
• How can igneous rock
  become sedimentary?

7
III. How do plate tectonics and the rock cycle
relate?

• Plate movement magma igneous rocks
• Plate movement faulting, folding, and other
  motions of the crust sedimentary metamorphic
  rocks
• rock cycle - Google Videos

Rock Star Biography

• Pick one type of rock and write a
• Possible biography of the rock as it
• moves through the rock cycle. Your
• story should state the type of rock, how
• the rock formed, and how it changed.
• Be creative!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rock Star Biography

• Larz Lava was born 4 billion years ago when a
  volcano erupted and the lava hardened into an
  igneous rock. Larz was destined for stardom from
  the beginning, when he rose from the bottom of a
  magma chamber and erupted explosively onto the
  rock and roll scene. After years of heavy
  weathering, Larzs body was broken and beat down
  and was eroded into the ocean, where he was
  deposited into the depths of despair and hit a
  low point in his life. After years of compaction,
  cementation, and re-building, Larz reappeared
  with the new look of a sedimentary rock. Larz was
  riding the momentum of his new look when tragedy
  struck again and he was subducted into the
  mantle. Millions of years went by but the heat
  and pressure of the mantle only made Larz
  stronger. Larz had changed into a metamorphic
  rock and his career was reborn.

Welcome to Science 11/8

• Turn your HW in. You should have 8 note cards.
  One card is for each of the following terms
  Igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary, weathering,
  erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation. Set
  your cards up like the examples below.

Igneous Rock
Def A rock made of hardened magma/lava. 2 types
intrusive and extrusive depending on where they
form. Synonyms fire, magma, lava Sentence
Igneous rocks form from the cooling and hardening
of magma.

Rock Cycle Lab

• Lab is due at the end of class.
• The objective of this lab is to demonstrate how a
  crayon rock goes through the different
  processes of the rock cycle.
• Complete the Lab Sheet as well as the Rock Cycle
  Handout.
• Follow the procedure! Read the directions! Ask
  Questions if needed!
• You may work with 1 partner to complete the lab.
