·      Sedimentary Rock – illustration of layers and pressure

·      Metamorphic Rock – illustration of pressure and heat, changing color, forming crystals

·      Rock moving down below Earth’s surface

·      Rock being pushed up or out of the volcano

·      Igneous Rock - cooling on top of the volcano becoming igneous rock

 

2.            Each panel must be labeled with the main idea of what is occurring.
