igneous,sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. volcanoes,erosion,melting,heat and presssure.

Wall, Alexandra said...

The three rock types are sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic. For a rock to become sedimentary it first has to erode and become small sediments, then the sediments go through the process of deposition and become a sedimentary rock. For a rock to become igneous it first has to get melted and then it becomes magma, when the magma then comes out through a volcano and cools, it is then igneous rock. When a rock has to become metamorphic it goes through the process of heat and pressure and slowly gets turned into a metamorphic rock. Those are the basic steps of the Rock Cycle

Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary. They can change by erosion, lava, heat, pressure, and time.

Kilgore, Sydney said...

The three rock types are igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.

Igneous- to go to metamorphic rock the rock must go through heat and pressure and to go to a sedimentary rock the rock must go through erosion.

Sedimentary-to form into a metamorphic rock the sedimentary rock must go through heat and pressure and to form into igneous the sedimentary rock must melt into molten lava.

Metamorphic- Metamorpihic must melt into molten lava to form igneous and then the metamorphic must go through erosion to form sediments.

Erosion changhes metamorphic to sediments. Depostion changes sedimeent into sedimentry rock. melting changes sedimentry into lava. Cooling changes lava into igneous.

Igneous to Metamorphic needs heat and pressure.Igneous to Sedimentary it needs erosion.

Sedimentary to Igneous needs erosion.Sedimentary to Metamorphic needs melting and heat/pressure.

Metamorphic to Igneous needs melting. Metamorphic to Sedimenatry needs erosion.

igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. they can turn from one rock to another from erosion, melting, heat, pressure, depositon, and volcanic activity.

George McFarren said...

Igneous rock forms into metamorphic rock because of heat and pressure. Then metamorphic rock melts and turns into magma and lava. Then the lava hardens and becomes igneous rock again. Igneous rock can also erode and become sedimentary rock. The sediments go through deposition and become sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rock can either erode and become sediments again or it can melt and become magma and lava or it can become metamorphic rock through heat and pressure.

Igneous
Metamorphic
Sedimentary
Rocks break down and compact into Sedimentary rocks
Rocks are put under Heat and Pressure to form Metamorphic rocks
Rocks melt into lava or magma and cool into Igneous rocks

The three rock types are metamorphic, sedimentary and igneous. Igneous rocks turn into metamorphic rocks when they experience heat and pressure. Meatmorphic rocks form into sedimentary rocks after they go through erosion, then deposition then they become compacted. Sedimentary rocks become meatmorpic rocks after they go through heat and pressure. Metamorphic rocks turn into igneous rocks afetr they have melted and turned into magma. lastly, the magma cools and turns into igneous rocks.

Sheridan,Megan said...

The three rock types are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. For a rock to become sedimentary it has to erode and be made into small sediments. Next the sediments go through deposition and become a sedimentary rock. When a rock turns into igneous it first has to get melted and then it becomes magma, When the volcano erupts magma comes out and cools, it is then igneous rock. When a rock has to become metamorphic it goes through the process of heat and pressure and slowly gets turned into a metamorphic rock.

igneous,metamorphic,sedimentary,well what happens is the rock cycles comes in place volcanic eruption,igneous rock(fire),sediments, sedimentary rocks,metamorphic rocks, magma and the cycle repeats

anonymous said...

The three rock types are sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic. A rock becomes sedimentry by eroding and becoming small sediments, the rock goes through depostion and then becomes sedimentry.
Igneause rocks have to melt and become magma, then the magma cools and becomes igneause.
Metamorphic rocks have to be pressurized to become metamorphic.

Three types of rock:
Metamorphic
Sedimentary
Igneous

For a rock to become sedimentary it first has to erode and become small sediments, then the sediments go through the process of deposition and become a sedimentary rock. For a rock to become igneous it first has to get melted and then it becomes magma, when the magma then comes out through a volcano and cools, it is then igneous rock. When a rock has to become metamorphic it goes through the process of heat and pressure and slowly gets turned into a metamorphic rock.

The three rock types are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous is formed by cooling magma, which gets broken down into sediments due to erosion. The sediments then compact and cement to form sedimentary rocks, which turn into metamorphic rocks when heat and pressure are applied.

Sedimentary, Igneous, Metamorphic.
Sedimentary and metamorphic needs to melt and cool to become igneous. Sedimentary and Igneous needs to be crushed together and heated to become metamorphic. Igneous and metamorphic need to be crushed into sediments and put on top of each other to become sedimentary.

Metamorphic, Igneous, and Sedimentary. Magma makes Igneous. Heat and Pressure makes Metamorphic, and Sedimentary forms from Igneous and Metamorphic rock that has been broken down. (Volcanic Activity).

The three main rock types are Metamorphic, Sedimentary, and Igneous. All three of the main types of rock go through erosion, melting, volcanic activity and heat and pressure to form to a different type of rock.

Sara said...

Sedimantary, Igneous, matamorphis.
Ways it can change from rock to rock is sedimanetary can braek down into more sediments then oush back together, igneous is formed when rocks melt down and cool again. Also metamorphic is a mix of both.Heat and pressure changes rock.

there are many rocks that come from a volcanioc eruption. some being:
-igneous
-metamorphic
-sedimentary
all of wich have many different rock types it each category. many rocks can go through erosion, melting, or volcanoic act

The three rock types are Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary rock. For any rock to become igneous it has to melt and then it becomes magma. Then, when the magma comes out through a volcano and cools, it is then igneous rock. When a rock becomes metamorphic it goes through the process of heat and pressure and slowly gets turned into a metamorphic rock. For a rock to become sedimentary it has to erode and become sediments, then the sediments go through the process of deposition.

Igneus, metamorphic and sedimentary. Heat and pressure will form an igneus rock. Then it will erode. This will break it down into sediments and it will form into a sedimentary rock. The sediment will then melt into lava and magma. The end.

Sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic. It can either erode, heat/pressure, deposition.

Fairbanks,Joey said...

The three rock typs are ignious, sedimentary, and metamorphic. When lava cools it forms ignious rock. when rocks break down it becomes sedimentary. when rocks go under heat and pressure over a long period of time.

The three types of rocks are igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. To get from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock, the igneous rock erodes and turns into sediment. Then the sediments press together and form a sedimentary rock. Then heat and pressure make it a sedimentary rock.

Jenn Davis said...

The three rock types are igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. To get to igneous rock, magma erupts and cools. To get to metamorphic rock, heat and pressure transform other rock. To get sedimantary rock, bits and pieces of other rocks that have been broken down press and get cemented together. All then rocks can form into all of the rocks including its self again.

The three types of rocks are Igneous, metamorphic and Sedimentary rock. In order fo a rock to turn into another type of rock it must go trough the rock cycle. It can change by heat and preasure, magma cooling/volcanic activity and by erosion & deposition.

Bass,Zoey said...

The three rock types we learned about are: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. rocks that become sedimentary have to erode and crumble down into small sediments and then go through deposition. For rocks that become igneous, they get melted by rock and cool on the top of earths surface.Finally, for rocks that get turned into metamorphic, they go through the slow process of pressure and high heat, and then slowly cool down.

A, Owen said...

The three rock types are igneous, metomorphic, and sedimentary. Igneous can became sediments by erosion, and then compressed into a sedimentary rock. Heat and pressure are then used to turn the sedimentary rock into metomorphic rock. The metomorphic rock can be melted into magma that is used to form igneous rock by magma cooling and rising to the surface, but at any point in this cycle the rocks can be eroded back into sediments. Also, any of the rocks can be melted again and again to form magma.

The Three rock types are Sedimentary, Igneous, and Metamorphic.

For a Sedimentary rock to turn to Metamorphic it must go through heat and pressure.
For Sedimentary rock to turn to Igneous it must get melted by magma then it will erupt from a volcano and cool down.

For Metamorphic to turn to Sedimentary you need it to erode then you need deposition.
For Metamorphic to turn to Igneous the rock must get melted by magma then it will erupt from a volcano and cool down.

For Igneous to turn to Sedimentary you need erosion then deposition.
For Igneous to turn to Metamorphic you need heat and pressure.
