The Rock Cycle is Earth's great recycling process where igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can all be derived from and form one another. Analogous to recycling a Coke can, where an old can ...

Sedimentary rocks are made up of pieces of older rocks (igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary) and organic remains (shells, bone, etc.). When rocks break apart from erosion they are transported by ...

There are three types of rock found on Earth. These are igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. Each rock type is formed in a different way. For example, the rock malachite is mostly made of the ...

Cata-, meso-, and epinorms are proposed for metamorphic rocks. The catanorm is essentially the CIPW norm calculated on the basis of molecular percentages and applied to high-grade metamorphic rocks.
