Rock cycle educational worksheet with labeled stages and illustrations.

Let’s go step by step to understand the rock cycle and fill in the blanks correctly.

The rock cycle shows how rocks change from one type to another over time. There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Also, lava/magma is involved when volcanoes erupt.

Looking at the middle worksheet (the one with labels on the left), we can match each picture to its name:

1. The top image shows a volcano erupting → that’s “volcanic eruption”
2. Below it, there’s a rocky-looking stone with crystals → that’s “igneous rock”
3. Then a layered brown rock → that’s “sedimentary rock”
4. Then a dark, swirly or banded rock → that’s “metamorphic rock”
5. At the bottom, a small volcano with red flow → that’s “lava / magma”

Now, for the rightmost worksheet — it has arrows showing the cycle, but some labels are missing. We need to fill them in based on what happens in the rock cycle.

Start from the top: Volcano erupts → makes igneous rock
Then igneous rock breaks down into pieces → becomes sediment → gets pressed into sedimentary rock
Sedimentary rock gets heated and squished → becomes metamorphic rock
Metamorphic rock melts → becomes magma/lava → erupts again as volcano

So following the arrows clockwise on the right worksheet:

- Top volcano → label should be “volcanic eruption”
- Arrow points to igneous rock (already labeled)
- Arrow points to sedimentary rock (already labeled)
- Arrow points to metamorphic rock (already labeled)
- Arrow points back to volcano → this must be “lava / magma” melting and rising

Wait — actually, looking more carefully at the right worksheet:

It has 5 images arranged in a circle with arrows:

Top: volcano → should be labeled “volcanic eruption”
Right: another volcano? Wait no — let’s count:

Actually, the right worksheet has:

- Top: volcano → label blank
- Right: volcano again? No — wait, looking again:

Actually, the right worksheet has:

Image positions:

1. Top center: volcano → label line above it
2. Right side: volcano → label line below it? Wait no — let me re-express.

Actually, the right worksheet has 5 images placed around a circle:

Starting from top and going clockwise:

A. Volcano (top) → label line above → should be “volcanic eruption”
B. Igneous rock (right-top) → already has label? No — in the right worksheet, only the rock types are drawn, no text labels except “Name:” at top.

Wait — correction: In the right worksheet, ALL the labels are missing! Only the drawings are there, and lines to write on.

So we have to label all five parts:

Clockwise from top:

1. Volcano → “volcanic eruption”
2. Rock with crystals → “igneous rock”
3. Layered rock → “sedimentary rock”
4. Dark banded rock → “metamorphic rock”
5. Small volcano at bottom → “lava / magma”

But wait — in the cycle, after metamorphic rock, it melts to become magma, which then rises and causes volcanic eruption.

So the order should be:

Volcanic eruption → creates igneous rock
Igneous rock → weathered to form sediments → become sedimentary rock
Sedimentary rock → heat/pressure → metamorphic rock
Metamorphic rock → melts → magma → rises → volcanic eruption

So in the circular diagram on the right, starting from top and going clockwise:

Position 1 (top): volcano → “volcanic eruption”
Position 2 (right): igneous rock → “igneous rock”
Position 3 (bottom-right): sedimentary rock → “sedimentary rock”
Position 4 (bottom-left): metamorphic rock → “metamorphic rock”
Position 5 (left): small volcano → “lava / magma”

Yes — because magma comes from melted rock, rises, and causes eruption.

So final labeling for the right worksheet (clockwise from top):

- Top volcano: volcanic eruption
- Right rock (crystalline): igneous rock
- Bottom-right rock (layered): sedimentary rock
- Bottom-left rock (banded): metamorphic rock
- Left small volcano: lava / magma

This matches the standard rock cycle.

Final Answer:
For the right worksheet, label the images clockwise from the top as:
1. volcanic eruption
2. igneous rock
3. sedimentary rock
4. metamorphic rock
5. lava / magma
