The rock cycle is the process by which each rock type can be changed into another. Rocks vary in their origin, formation and characteristics. There are 3 main rock categories, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. This essay will focus on the formation of igneous rocks, the examples I will use are granite and basalt.
Humans interact with the rock cycle in a number of ways. Describe press explain how this interaction with the rock cycle takes place, includes hint to one of the following: Mining, Pull Building Materials, Oil/Gas Exploitation, Calorific Energy Production.

A waterfall is a feature of erosion found in the youth stage of a river. Waterfalls are found in areas with bands of hard and soft rock (otherwise known as resistant and less resistant rocks). The hard rock takes longer to erode than the soft rock (differential erosion) so the river erodes the land at different rates.
