ROCK CYCLE by Czary

Volcanic eruption

During a volcanic eruption, magma from beneath the Earth’s crust is expelled to the surface as lava. When this lava cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rocks.

This rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten rock, which can be magma beneath the Earth's surface or lava at the surface. The properties of igneous rocks are influenced by the composition of the magma or lava and the rate at which it cools.

Sediment

Eruptions can produce volcanic ash, tephra, and other fragments that can be transported by wind and water. These materials can accumulate and eventually become part of sedimentary rock formations.

Sedimentary rocks

Volcanic materials can contribute to new sedimentary rocks when they are broken down by weathering and erosion.

Metamorphic rock

Metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks (igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks) under high pressure, high temperature, or both, without melting.

Magma

syutiop29 — 2024-09-06 14:54:40 UTC

When magma rises from beneath the Earth's crust and reaches the surface or remains underground, it cools and solidifies to form igneous rocks. The location where the magma cools and solidifies determines the type of igneous rock formed

ROCK CYCLE

The rock cycle describes the processes through which the three main rock types (igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary) transform from one type into another.
