geochemical cycles

The rock cycle is a never ending process of rock formation and the breaking down of rocks. Chapters explain the classification of rocks and their place in the rock cycle as well as how rocks form and break down through erosion and weathering. Readers will also learn through engaging text and graphic organizers about minerals, volcanoes, and earthquakes, and how these things are part of an ever-changing Earth. In the interactive eBook version, readers will find more in-depth information on the processes in the rock cycle. Graphic organizers, photographs, and videos illustrate these topics, creating an enriched experience of the book.

Describes Earth's rock cycle, explaining how rocks are formed and describes the properties of each type of rock.

"In this book, young readers will learn how rocks are made"--Provided by publisher.

Explains rocks, including precious gemstones, famous formations, and more.

Text, photographs, illustrations, and step-by-step instructions for hands-on activities explain the rock cycle.

"Discusses the properties of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks and how they are formed, as well as how plates shift on the earth's surface to create mountains and volcanoes. Includes diagrams to present the many geologic cycles rocks go through"--Provided by publisher.

An introduction to the rock cycle that discusses types of rocks, how it works, weathering, erosion, sediment, fossils, the work of geologists, and other related topics.

Presents a short study of weathering and erosion in connection to the rock cycle, and describes the elements that cause erosion, how erosion changes the earth's surface, and the important of weathering to the study of the earth.

Presents an introduction to the rock cycle, the process by which rocks form, break down, and reform over the course of thousands of years, looks at different types of rocks, and examines the forces that cause rocks to change.

Discusses the forces that created sedimentary rock and describes the different kinds, including clastic and chemically and organically formed rocks.
