The Rock Cycle Story

Hi my name is Benny and I am a piece of Biotite. Me and my friends love it down here in the magma. Magma is a molten rock before it exits through volcanoes. The magma is so warm and comforting and we can move everywhere!

Here is a cite that you can check out for more information

Then one day I heard lots of rumbling everywhere. Then we all started rushing in a powerful flow of magma! I got thrust out of my homely volcano and thrown into a cold strange world. I was so cold in this place I started to freeze! And soon I was a solid igneous rock called granite.

Then the rain came. As it was raining I could feel little parts of me getting washed off and carried away. Then day after day, year after year, more and more little particles of me started washing off and carrying away.

Then after even more years it got hotter and hotter as we got deeper and deeper. Then one day I started melting! I melted back into magma and was back home. All of my friends were here too! We were all talking about the journey when fredric the feldspar told me that it was something called the rock cycle, and that this was his third time through the cycle, and that I would have many more similar journeys through the cycle as well.

Then all my particles got washed away into the bottom of the ocean. I was broken apart, cold, and very homesick. But then as time went on I got buried under layers of sediment, which is the broken bits and pieces of rock and plant life,

just like me, that completely covered us over. Soon we were all packed together from the pressure of the layers of sediment above us and we became smooshed into a sedimentary rock called sandstone.

When I was smooshed as sandstone I made lots of new friends! Like Kelly the quartz and Fredric the feldspar. Then after a very long time under layers and layers of sediment and sedimentary rock, it started getting really hot and there was a lot of pressure. I could feel myself getting melted and squished and the atoms in the piece of sandstone rearranged into a metamorphic rock called gneiss (nice).
