    The document discusses the rock cycle, which describes the relationships between the three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from cooling magma, either deep underground as plutonic rocks or at the surface as volcanic rocks. Sedimentary rocks form from the lithification of sediments at the Earth's surface. Metamorphic rocks form by changes to existing rocks through heat, pressure, and fluids in the Earth's crust. The rock cycle is powered by the Earth's interior heat and momentum, as well as energy from the sun, and involves surface and subsurface processes that connect the hydrologic and tectonic cycles.

    The Rock Cycle

    Thinking about relationships among the major rock groups

    Major Rock Groups


    Igneous
    Formed from a melt (molten rock) Plutonic (intrusive):slow cooling and crystallization Volcanic (extrusion): quick cooling at the surface

    Sedimentary
    Formed at the Earths surface Clastic (Mineral Fragments or grains, clays) Chemical (crystalline chemical/biochemical precipitates)

    Metamorphic
    Changed by pressure, temperature and fluids.

    In Conclusion The rock cycle demonstrates the relationships among the three major rock groups It is powered by the interior heat of the Earth As well as earths momentum and The energy from the sun It involves processes on the Earths surface as well as the Earths interior It connects the hydrologic cycle with the tectonic cycle.
