woo hoo rock time!! (this portion is based off my knowledge, i am not claiming anything here to be entierly true)

The main menu!!

Check out some ROCKS!! [you are here]

(will be art galery)

(will be about me)

Look at my journal!!

The rock cycle!

Above is an image of the rocks cycle (click it to zoom in). This is the cycle that pretty much turns rocks into different rocks. You could have magma turned into sediment, then that sediment back into magma etc. "Well, how does that work??"- absolutely no one NEVER FEAR FOR I SHALL EXPLAIN IT! First, your rocks start off as magma. Magma is molten (melted) rock. Next we have what are called intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks. An extrusive igneous rock is when magma goes to the outside of the earth and cools down (crystalizes), so the rock is formed on the outside of the earth's crust. An intrusive igneous rock is the opposite, when magma cools down (crystalizes) inside of the earth. Then you'd have an intrusive igneous rock. Next step is those rocks are slowly brought to the surface of the earth (slow uplift to the surface). Let's move to metamorphic rocks. A metamorphic rock is created when any type of rock (igneous, sedementary, or another metamorphic) gets all smooshed and heated and compacted then poof new rock "Well, why does that happen?"- still no one GREAT QUESTION! I have absolutely no idea [INSERT GEOLOGICALLY ACCURATE ANSWER]. Alrighty, the next step is those metaphorphosized rocks get brought up to the surface slowly as well. Rocks on the surface of the earth erode slowly, turning into sediment. Sediment is super tiny pieces of rock and sand and dirt and shells all combined into a Sediment-Stew. This sediment gathers up over time and it crushes itself together and combines with water until its so compacted and cemented together that those thousands of pieces of rock dust, turn into a new, big rock! Then you got all your rocks! UNLESS, your rocks get burried down and all smooshed, then the rocks that are either igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary, get melted and the cycle repeats itself. (hense, "the rock cycle")
