Rock Cycle & Earthquakes/Tsunamis Assessment Practice

What is the Rock Cycle?

• Rocks CAN change from one type to another over time

• Rocks CANNOT change from one type to another over time

• Rocks CAN change from one type to ONLY one other type based on the cycle

• Rocks have one path until they are broken down into sediment to remain
