I dedicate this book to Mrs. BK for teaching me all I know about the rock cycle.
Hi! My name is Rocke. I am a rock. I am here to tell you about my journey through the rock cycle. Right now, I am melting into magma! I am an igneous rock. Igneous rocks are formed by magma and when it cools. I am currently traveling through a volcano. I am getting a little nervous because I am almost to the top of the volcano.
POOF! SIZZLE! CRACKLE! It is crazy becoming volcanic ash. I am still an igneous rock. I am now cooled and I have started floating. I am part of a huge cloud of ash and dust. We are floating up into the sky!
I decide to join a cloud. Suddenly, all of the water droplets try to combine with me. I am making many new friends! We start to become snow crystals and then we fall down to Earth. I only scream a little, it is a long ways down! With all of this weathering, I turn into a sedimentary rock with help from the pressure of the heavy snow. All of the snow is causing me to break into many little pieces of sediment.
PLOP! I land in the ocean. It is a lot warmer than the freezing snow. I say goodbye to my water molecule friends as they join ocean currents. I keep sinking and sinking until I hit the bottom of the ocean. I am still a sedimentary rock, but now I am combining with even more sediments. All of sudden, I feel a slight shaking and the ocean floor subducts.
I fall into Earth's interior. It is really hot down here. I feel lots of pressure. After a long time in the heat and pressure, I turn into a metamorphic rock. You have to have both heat and pressure to turn into a metamorphic rock.
It was just another day in Earth's interior when I started to feel a lot of shaking. The tectonic plates were moving! They cause me to rise and they create a mountain! I am am still a metamorphic rock, but now I am on top of a mountain.
