Rock Cycle

Rock Cycle

  • Define what a rock is, and describe how to distinguish between a rock and a mineral.
  • Explain the different processes that form rocks in the rock cycle and how rocks are recycled to make new ones.
  • Determine the texture (grain size, shape, and orientation) and composition (mineral content) of a rock specimen to determine if it is igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic.
  • Devise and apply a hierarchical classification scheme that can be used to identify common rocks based on comparing your observations to the rock dichotomous keys.
