=The rock cycle=

Have you ever wondered what is under the grass,dirt,clay and other things well I am here to tell you what it is. Well it is rocks rocks are actully really cool they can be really far under the ground or they can be right in your yard.

The rock cycle is just one of the loads of cycles that has been forgotten but that is very important. When water and other things hit igneous ,metamorphic ,and sedimentry they erode (which means that little pieces of rock fall off of the bigger rock which are called sediments). After some rocks are eroded and have fallen they will form sedimentry rock(which is when sediments compact to form a sedimentrey rock). when igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentrey rock travel to magma or when magma goes to the rocks they will always melt into magma though it might take a while but it might take millons of years to melt but it will. Once rocks are melted the magma will shot out of a volcano it will coll down in to igneous rock then when igneous and sedimentry rock get heat and preasure they turn into metamorphic rock.

The rock cycle may seem very complex ,but it really isn't when you look at just the forces that drive the cycle. The most important thing about the rock cycle are magma and water you might be thinking why is magma so important? Well it is important because with out magma rock would never melt and rock would sit for trillons and trillons of years. Well what about water ,well water is important because water erodes the rock so sedimentes and sedimentrey rock would disapper.

There might be really good things about the cycle but there are also really bad things that can happen to the rock cycle.Plate tectonics are always crushing rocks and if magma is too cold it will take twice as long to melt a rock or to even get to a rock and it will change what type of igneous rock it is for example if it is to cold it will turn into will turn into igneous rock with large crystals in it.

While factors affect the cycle what about the good side of the rock cycle. Why the rock cycle is important well we make bridges, buildings, streets momuments, and many other things.

Now that you know about the rock cycle I encourage you to look up the rock cycle and see what it shows.
