6th Science DBQ Anna-Sophia Pinson
Did you know that if you melt a rock, it will turn into magma? Scientists know all of this because they study the rock cycle. The rock cycle is very important to scientists because of geology (OI). Geology tells scientists about the history of the Earth (Doc. 2). For example, geology shows what the climates were like a long time ago (Doc. 2). Also, in the 19th century, most of the geology was focused on finding out how old the Earth was (Doc. 2).
Other things that the rock cycle can tell you about is what happens if you erode, melt, or compact and cement a rock. Furthermore, if magma cools and crystallizes, it forms an igneous rock. If the igneous rock erodes, it will become sediment. After that, the sediment
