Activity III: The Law of the Conservation of Matter:

Matter may be neither created nor destroyed. A piece of matter may under go a CHANGE OF PHASE or may react chemically either within itself or with other matter, so it may not be recognizable in the same form, but the amount of matter does not change. (http://www.esse.ou.edu/glossary_st.html#C)

Explain how this law applies to the rock cycle

Conclusion

Using the rock above, create a sequence chart explaining how this rock could change to a metamorphic rock, then igneous and then back to sedimentary.

Use these terms: erosion, heat, pressure, melting, volcanic activity
