The Rock Cycle

rock

• wind, water, ice, or gravity moves soil from 1 location to another

• rock forms, changes from 1 type to another, is destroyed, and forms again

• a naturally occurring solid mixture of 1 or more minerals or organic matter

• rock material is laid down

Uplift

• at great depths, intense heat and pressure squeeze sedimentary rock

• grains of sediment are compacted and cemented together

• water, wind, ice, and heat break down rock

• rocks inside the Earth move up to the surface
