2. Rock cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_cycle

   The rock cycle explains how the three rock types are related to each other, and how processes change from one type to another over time. This cyclical aspect makes rock change a geologic cycle and, on planets containing life, a biogeochemical cycle. Structures of Igneous Rock. Legend: A = magma chamber (batholith); B = dyke /dike; C = laccolith ...

3. Provenance (geology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provenance_(geology)

   The main rock types. Provenance in geology, is the reconstruction of the origin of sediments. The Earth is a dynamic planet, and all rocks are subject to transition between the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks (the rock cycle). Rocks exposed to the surface are eventually broken down into sediments.

4. Cementation (geology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cementation_(geology)

   Cementation (geology) A brief, easy-to-understand description of cementation is that minerals bond grains of sediment together by growing around them. This process is called cementation and is a part of the rock cycle. Cementation involves ions carried in groundwater chemically precipitating to form new crystalline material between sedimentary ...

5. Wikipedia : Featured picture candidates/Rock Cycle

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Rock_Cycle

   Original - The rock cycle is a fundamental concept in geology that describes the dynamic transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. Due to the driving forces of the rock cycle, plate tectonics and the water cycle, rocks do not remain in equilibrium and are forced to change as they ...

6. Formation of rocks - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formation_of_rocks

   Sedimentary rocks are formed through the gradual accumulation of sediments: for example, sand on a beach or mud on a river bed. As the sediments are buried they get compacted as more and more material is deposited on top. Eventually the sediments will become so dense that they would essentially form a rock. This process is known as lithification.

7. Geochemistry of carbon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geochemistry_of_carbon

   The carbon then becomes part of a sedimentary rock when lithification happens. Human technology or natural processes such as weathering, or underground life or water can return the carbon from sedimentary rocks to the atmosphere. From that point it can be transformed in the rock cycle into metamorphic rocks, or melted into igneous rocks.

8. Deposition (geology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposition_(geology)

   Deposition (geology) Map of Cape Cod showing shores undergoing erosion (cliffed sections) in yellow, and shores characterized by marine deposition (barriers) in blue. [1] Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered ...
