Form from cooling and crystallization of magma (molten rock)
Liquid -> solidAtoms, ions, ionic complexesWith cooling, movement slowsAligned, orderedForm minerals

Igneous rocks (as well as other rock types) can be uplifted and exposed at the earth’s surface
Subject to atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere
Break down - weatheringSolid rock -> small particles & dissolved
material

Continued burial, pressure & temperature rise
Chemical reactions occur (minerals out of stability fields)
Create new minerals and texturesMetamorphism (change)

Can you think of any modifications we should make to the rock cycle to make it more realistic?
i.e. do all metamorphic rocks melt?do all sedimentary rocks become
metamorphic rocks?How can the rock cycle link to the water
cycle or the tectonic cycle?

Look for different rock types in the museum
Think about how you could use your school or nearby buildings
