Before proceeding to the content of this module, let us first have a review on the learnings that you gained in our previous lesson related to rocks and rock cycle.
Try to complete the rock cycle using the terms and the processes given. Write the
term/s in the box/circles and processes/events in between arrows to show the
connections in the rock cycle.

The rock cycle, illustrated in Figure below, depicts how the three major rock types – igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic - convert from one to another. Arrows connecting the rock types represent the processes that accomplish these changes.

Rocks change as a result of natural processes that are taking place all the time. Most changes happen very slowly. Rocks deep within the Earth are right now becoming other types of rocks. Rocks at the surface are lying in place before they are next exposed to a process that will change them. Even at the surface, we may not notice the changes. The rock cycle has no beginning or end.
