- Top box: Magma
- Top-right box: Igneous rock
- Examples: basalt, granite
- Bottom-right box: Metamorphic rock
- Examples: quartzite, marble
- Bottom-left box: Sedimentary rock
- Examples: sandstone, limestone
- Top-left box: Sediments
- Examples: sand, gravel
Processes:
- Arrow from Magma to Igneous rock: Cooling
- Arrow from Igneous rock to Sediments: Weathering & erosion
- Arrow from Sediments to Sedimentary rock: Deposition, compaction, & cementation
- Arrow from Sedimentary rock to Metamorphic rock: Heat & pressure
- Arrow from Metamorphic rock to Magma: Melting
