Different Forms And Shapes

There are many different kinds of stones in the world.
With that there are also a lot of questions of how they
got that shape or that color!
All this rocks had to go through a process that can take
many years and depending on the path they took they
came out they way they did.
The path is called the Rock Cycle!

Different Rocks Different Backgrounds

The Rock Cycleis a group of changes. Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock
or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into
igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock.
In Reality any rock can be anything just depends on the path it goes through. In the
end therock cycleis a model that describes the formation, breakdown, and
reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic processes.

Sedimentary rocks are formed by sediment that is deposited over time, usually as layers
at the bottom of lakes andoceans.
This sediment can include minerals, small pieces of plants and other organic matter.
The sediment is compressed over a long period of time before consolidating into solid
layers of rock.
Sedimentary rocks forms layers called strata which can often be seen in exposed cliffs.
Sedimentary rocks cover the majority of the Earth's rocky surface but only make up a
small percentage of the Earths crust compared to metamorphic and igneous types of

Metamorphic Rock

Rocks are made up of one or more minerals. Although different rocks can contain
the same minerals, they are classified based on the way in which they were
formed. Metamorphic rocks form when existing rocks are exposed to heat and
pressure deep within the Earth's surface. Metamorphic rock is formed under
extreme pressure combined with heat over time. Marble and slate are examples of
metamorphic rock.

Igneous Rock
Igneous rock is formed when magma
cools and solidifies, it may do this above
or below the Earth's surface.
Magma can be forced into rocks, blown
out in volcanic explosions or forced to
the surface as lava.
There are over 700 different types of
igneous rocks.
Examples of igneous rocks include
basalt, granite, pumice, obsidian, tuff,
diorite, gabbro and andesite.

Magma And Sediment

And Time
As you saw through all these slide you can tell that to
get to the place the rocks were at they had to go
through heat(magma in certain occasions) to be the
rock they are (igneous) and some had through
sediments (sedimentary) and cool of (metamorphic) to
become the rocks they are.
Time can cause a rock to break down and change.
