The Rock Cycle
Scientific American Investigates Geology
Much of Earth is comprised of rock, from the continents people live on to the melted rock within the core of the planet. Rock comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and compositions, notably including sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. Readers learn about the natural processes that create each type through accessible fact boxes and a helpful graphic organizer detailing the parts of the cycle. Vivid photographs enhance the reading experience and contribute a visual element to an important part of the STEM curriculum.
