SOLID MATERIALS that are made up of one or more minerals. It is the OUTERMOST LAYER of Earth

Soil comes from rocks

It begins when a parent material is EXPOSED to the atmosphere. It is when organic matter and rock materials are DEPOSITED on Earth's surface

Earth is divided into three major layers. What are those layers called?

It is the INNERMOST LAYER of Earth. It has 2 regions ; the outer and inner

It is a region of the earth's core wherein it is the only layer in LIQUID STATE and is made up of MOLTEN IRON and NICKEL

It is a region of the earth's core wherein it is the is the HOTTEST LAYER of Earth

It is a process where piece of rock may CHANGE from ONE FORM TO ANOTHER. Where rocks transform between igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic forms depending on conditions like heat, pressure, and weathering.

An igneous rock can change into a sedimentary rock or to a metamorphic rock. A sedimentary rock can change into a metamorphic rock or an igneous rock. A metamorphic rock can change into an igneous rock or a sedimentary rock

What does IGNEOUS ROCK turn into when it breaks down through time.

When sediments accumulate, it undergoes a process called __________.

What does sediments from igneous rocks become after undergoing cementation?

Igneous and sedimentary rocks transform into ____________ when exposed to heat and pressure

When sedimentary and metamorphic rocks weather, they become sediments again. Heat and pressure melt metamorphic rocks and turn them Into magma, which, when cooled down, solidifies into igneous rocks. The rock cycle never ends
