What changes are happening on earth right now?

Prereading

Igneous and sedimentary rocks that receive high temperatures and very high pressure are transformed into metamorphic rocks. The word “metamorphous” means change. These rocks have been significantly changed. Moreover, they will continue to change as they receive more pressure and heat.

Title 1

Some metamorphic rocks have many different colors and designs.

Metamorphic rocks often do not have a uniform appearance, because they have had so many different changes. Metamorphic rocks can also be eroded and changed into sediments, and deposited back into the riverbeds. In addition, metamorphic rocks can be pushed into the centre of the earth, to be melted and become magma.

Title 1

How many different colors are on your countertop?

A popular metamorphic rock is marble, which is often used to make countertops because of the beautiful natural design of the rock. These rocks are often collected because people enjoy their distinctive color and feel.

Title 1

Take a look at some rocks here. Which one is your favourite?

The rock cycle shows us that even something as hard as a rock can be broken down by wind and water. The surface of the earth is constantly changing and creating different rocks that are used for many different purposes. The next time you find a rock, think about what an interesting journey it had before it arrived in your hand.
