1) Formation of Igneous Rock – Melting, Cooling, and Crystallization. Magma, the molten rock present deep inside the earth, solidifies due to cooling and crystallizes to form a type of rock called igneous rocks. Cooling of igneous rocks can occur slowly beneath the surface of the earth or rapidly at its surface.

Amazing class with Barbara today! She is amazing with the dogs! I have never learned so much in a short period of time. Highly recommend The Thinking K9 for your dog training needs. Her place of business is so clean and she has so much to offer the dogs. Do not hesitate to take your dog here for training, you will not be disappointed!!!

Chris & Sweetness

I have had 30 years of Viszlas and lots of training so I knew what to expect. However Barbara’s classes were more detailed, more informative, and very professional...She sent pictures often [during boarding] and kept in touch while I was away. Sweetness looked so happy! I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home with me! And, Barbara has the most well trained boxer, Batman, that I have ever seen! She is amazing with dogs!! Highly recommend training or boarding with Barbara!!

Colleen & Teddy

My family was pretty desperate for relief from too much barking, chewed up wood furniture, accidents on the carpet and basically a household taken over by an adorable, out of control puppy! Barbara took Teddy into her home and lovingly taught him some manners...Barbara has continued to train as needed, which included training us how to communicate effectively with Teddy to acheive the desired behavior.

Deb & Agness

...Every time Agness stays in Barbara’s home even for a day, we get several pictures & videos, she goes on walks, she plays with Barbara’s dogs, family & visitors — all of which we appreciate. The only doubt that ever entered my mind was ‘Is Agness going to want to come home after all the fun she’s having at Barbara’s?’ Anyone who has had to leave their pet knows that definitely puts your mind at ease...

Roxanne & Gus

...Barbara taught me techniques I can use with my dog to avoid the leash aggression I was concerned about. ...She provided handouts and lots of positive reinforcement. She made me feel good about what I have done with my dog regarding his training so far, and that I am not a failure.

Donn, Kristi, Rex, Buster, & Stella

...The services she provides, I must admit, are a huge success as my 2 Frenchie’s have the hugest smiles on their faces throughout the whole day of daycare. Did I also mention that she sends us pictures, videos and text messages while we are away from our fur babies? It’s great!...

Cynthia & Henna

Our Redbone Coonhound, Henna, Loved her class! The Instructors are high energy, Positve and great fun to work with. We learned so much from them! The CGC class taught Henna and I how to work together and has helped create a stronger bond between us. Incredible experience! We can't wait for more training experiences!

What is the Rock Cycle

The rock cycle is the process that describes the gradual transformation between the three main types of rocks: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. It is occurring continuously in nature through geologic time.

What Causes the Rock Cycle

It occurs due to:

Plate tectonic activity
Weathering
Erosional processes

Steps of the Rock Cycle: How does it Work

1) Formation of Igneous Rock – Melting, Cooling, and Crystallization

Magma, the molten rock present deepinside the earth, solidifies due to cooling and crystallizes to form a type ofrock called igneous rocks. Cooling of igneous rocks can occur slowly beneaththe surface of the earth or rapidly at its surface.

2) Formation of Sedimentary Rock – Weathering, Erosion, Sedimentation,and Compaction

Due to weathering and erosional activities,the igneous rocks are broken down to form sediments in the form of gravel,sand, silt, and clay, which gets mixed and pressed together for extendedperiods to form sedimentary rocks.

3) Formation of Metamorphic Rocks – Metamorphism

Over a very long period of time,sedimentary and igneous rocks end up being buried deep underground the soil,usually because of the movement of tectonic plates. Deep below the surface,these rocks are exposed to high heat and pressure, which change them into adifferent type of rock called metamorphic rock.

4)Weathering

Igneous, sedimentary, andmetamorphic rocks present on the surface of the earth are constantly beingbroken down by wind and water over a long time.

5) Transportation

Carrying away of broken rocks by rain,streams, rivers, and oceans to a distant place from their origin.

6)Deposition

During the carriage ofrocks by rivers, the rock particles (mixed with soil) sink and become a layerof sediment. Often the sediments build up and form small accumulations, whichover time and pressure turn into sedimentary rock.

Melting of underground metamorphic rock forms magma, which on crystallization forms igneous rock, thus continuing the cycle.

Why is the Rock Cycle Important

Helping in the formation of soil thus sustaining every life forms on earth
Forming life-sustaining minerals such as sodium, iron, potassium, and calcium into the biosphere
Forming the energy reserves of the earth like fossil fuels and radioactive sources
Providing the building materials used to build structures such as iron, limestone, marble, granite, and basalt
Providing raw materials for currency, investments, and adornments such as gold, diamonds, rubies, and emeralds

FAQs

Q1. What powers the earth’s rock cycle?

Ans. The two main forces that provide energy for the earth’s rock cycle are the sun and the internal heat of the earth. While the sun provides energy for weathering, erosion, and transportation, the earth’s internal heat helps in the processes like subduction, melting, and metamorphism.

Q2. Who created the concept of the rock cycle?

Ans. The concept of the rock cycle was first suggested by James Hutton, the 18th-century founder of modern geology.

Q3. Does the rock cycle stop after the quartzite has formed?

Ans. Since the rock cycle is a continuous process, the cycle does not stop after the formation of quartzite. Eventually, the quartzite rock could change into a sedimentary or an igneous rock to continue the cycle.

Q4. What is compaction and cementation in the rock cycle?

Ans. Compaction is the process in which sediment is squeezed to reduce the pore space between the grains due to the weight and pressure of overlying layers. Cementation is the process in which sediments are glued together by minerals that are deposited by water. Both compaction and cementation help in the formation of sedimentary rocks.
