Summary:
The Rock Cycle is the cycle that starts and ends with the same rock or substance such as, Magma that crystallizes into igneous rock which adds heat and pressure turning into metamorphic rock which melts into magma. The cycle started with Magma and ended in Magma. The rock cycle also needs specific changes to transform in to a new rock. An Igneous rock can turn into a metamorphic one when heat and pressure is applied to the igneous rock.
SP2: Developing & Using Models
I used the Gizmo's website to explore the simulation for the rock cycle. To find the process that we selected or chose I would click the "Path" tab and find the path that I created using the different transitions and possible things that could happen to the rock or substance. We had a work sheet that we had to use to write down the different changes that need to happen to get a specific rock.
