Igneous rocks form when magma (molten rock) cools and crystallizes, either at volcanoes on the surface of the Earth or while the melted rock is still inside
The kids will love learning about the science of rocks with thisdelicious rock cyclemade of chocolate rocks.

Do Now 1/14/13 In order for a metamorphic rock to become an igneous rock, what must happen? In which layer of the Earth do convection currents occur? The. Teaching Point: “To summarize latitude and longitude coordinate system.” Do now Discussion: How might you determine which hemisphere ...
There are three rock types that make up the Earth: metamorphic, igneous andsedimentary. As the Earth renews its crust, the sedimentary rocks become metamorphic and the metamorphic rocks become igneous. The igneous rocks can be broken up into sediments that then make them a part of the sedimenta...
(The recrystallization process means that glacial ice is really a type of metamorphic rock.)Tazlina Valley Glacier: Crevasses are visible near the thinning terminus in the zone of wastage. Note that the ice surface is dirty due to the accumulation of sand and gravel particles. Tazlina Valley ...
"Cinders" are small pieces of igneous rock that have been blown from the vent of a cinder cone. They usually have a composition similar to basalt and contain numerous vesicles. Vesicles are small, round, bubble-like cavities that owe their presence to small amounts of gas that were trapped...
What does schist look like? Schist (/ʃɪst/ shist) is a medium-grained metamorphic rock showing pronounced schistosity. This means that the rock is composed of mineral grains easily seen with a low-power hand lens, oriented in such a way that the rock is easily split into thin flake...
How does sandstone turn into gneiss? Where are clastic sedimentary rocks found? How to identify if a rock is metamorphic, sedimentary, or igneous by seeing and feeling it? Explain. How old are sedimentary rocks? How can metamorphic rock be transformed into igneous rock?
