From weathering and erosion, to extreme heat and pressure. It is the rock cycle and is ever lasting. I am Morgan Freeman, and will take you on a journey through the rock cycle. We will start our journey in the mantle

# data[].attributes.body
The main driving force of the rock cycle, is convection and the tectonic plates

# data[].attributes.body
Deep within the asthenosphere it is so hot that rock melts and forms magma. Since the magma is less dense than the surround rock it moves its way up. As it does this, it slowly cools, crystallizes, and becomes either intrusive rock or extrusive rock

# data[].attributes.body
Extrusive igneous rocks form when the mama reaches the surface and would now be classified as lava. It would have small crystals due to the fast rapid cooling

# data[].attributes.body
Intrusive igneous rocks have well defined crystals, and form under the Earth's surface.

Once rock is on the surface it can become sedimentary rock. After  weathering the rock is nothing more than particles and will eventually rest and become hard rock. It does this because other layers lay on top of it and compresses it to become solid rock.

# data[].attributes.body
Clastic sedimentary rock is formed after rocks go through weathering and combine. An example of this is shale.

# data[].attributes.body
This rock is formed through chemical reactions mainly in the ocean. An example of this is limestone.

# data[].attributes.body
Metamorphic rock is formed when rocks are buried deep, in high pressure, and in high temperatures. This will form new rock without melting, and when melting does occur the rock cycle will start over again. This process will occur at the very bottom of sedimentary rock and will either cause the rock to form new larger crystals or arrange themselves in layers.

# data[].attributes.body
When the pressure is greater in one direction than the other the rock minerals will rearrange themselves with the longer minerals. This will cause the rock to have a stripped look. An example of this is slate. Slate used to be shale, but after it went through heat and pressure it changed to became slate.

# data[].attributes.body
Around the igneous intrusions the metamorphic rock will recrystallize and will become more denser in the the high pressure area. An example of this is marble

The rock cycle Never ends. It’s a rough and slow process that shapes our world from the inside out.
