What happens to hot lava after it erupts from a volcano? _________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ 2. How does rock turn into soil? _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ 3. The Mississippi River carries tons of tiny rock fragments called sediments into the Gulf of Mexico. What do you think will happen to these sediments after a few million years? _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ Gizmo Warm-up Over millions of years, rocks are broken down and transformed into other rocks. The Rock Cycle Gizmo illustrates the different transformations that make up the rock cycle. Before exploring the Gizmo, take a look at the image. 1. What types of rocks are shown? __________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ 2. Magma is molten (liquid) rock under Earths surface. Based on the image, how do you think magma turns into extrusive igneous rock? ______________________________________ 3. Click Extrusive igneous rock button to the right of the image. Were you correct? ________This study source
