The Three Rock TypesThe Rock Cycle involves the recognition of
three main classes of rocks
SedimentaryRocks
MetamorphicRocks
IgneousRocks
He’s Back!The eminent 18th century lawyer, doctor, gentleman farmer and founder of modern geoscience, James Hutton,developed the concept of the Rock Cycle to show how rocks and natural, physical processes are interrelated.

The mantle, crust and surface of the earth can be thought of as a giant recycling machine; rocks are neither created nor destroyed, but redistributed and transformed from one rock type to another.
If you were to ask a Geologist what the earth is…
What do you think theresponse would be?

Minerals make up rocks.
Natural compounds and elements combine to form minerals.
Elements combine to form the natural compounds.
Rocks make up the Earth.
There is a hierarchy to the elements of Geology
Atoms make up elements.
