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.
