Question

Use the vocabulary words from"Read It"to complete the following sentences. (rock cycle)

Answer 1

The rock cycle demonstrates how rocks repeatedly transform from one type to another due to a variety of natural processes. When rock is eroded into small pieces, these smaller pieces are compacted to become a sedimentary rock. That rock can then melt to become magma, then cooled and solidified into an igneous rock. If intense heat and pressure is applied to this rock, it will become a metamorphic rock. Then the whole process can occur again, sometimes in a completely different order.
