How is the rock cycle like other natural cycles on earth?
The rock cycle is like any other cycle because it is where rocks are formed, reformed and destroyed. This is similar to any other type of cycle
How does freezethaw effect rocks?
Freeze/thaw cycles expand existing fissures in existing rock by the expansion caused by ice crystal formation. This leads to further erosion of the rock by freeze/thaw and chemical weathering from rainwater.
Can contact with magma change the minerals of a rock?
Yes and do u have the same work sheet as me page 68 and the packet is called what are metamorphic rocks?
What is the difference between exclusive and intrusive rocks?
There is no such thing as an "exclusive" rock. However, there are extrusive rocks. These are divisions of igneous rocks, or rocks that form from molten rock. Intrusive rocks form from molten rock that has cooled underground. They can also be called plutonic rocks. Extrusive rocks, also called volcanic rocks, form from molten rock that has formed at or above the surface.

What is a catchy name for a science fair project about rocks?
"Dating for beginners" could be a title for a project on rock dating.
What is the main type of energy used to help convert rocks into metamorphic rocks in the rock cycles?
Thermal energy (heat) and pressure or stress (which is also a form of internal energy of a system and is a form of potential energy).
How is the rock cycle like other natural cycles on earth?
The rock cycle is like any other cycle because it is where rocks are formed, reformed and destroyed. This is similar to any other type of cycle
What two cycles determine the formation of mineral deposits?
Two cycles determine how mineral deposits are formed-the rock cycle and the tectonic cycle. Heat from the Earth's interior melts some of the rocks in the crust (the upper part of the lithosphere).
What are the two ways water breaks down rock?
Through chemical weathering by acidic rainwater, by freeze/thaw cycles, blasting the rocks with pressure and wave action, and abrasion through the churning of rocks in moving water.
What are the processes of rock cycles?
Igneous Rock Metamorphic Rock Sedimentary Rock
What does Cyclical?
revolving or cecurring in cycles; characterized by recurrence in cycles Rock on!!
How does freezethaw effect rocks?

What types of rocks are apart of Igneous rocks?
