Rock Types and the Rock Cycle: Igneous Sedimentary Metamorphic

A big thanks to all current and future patrons who are helping fund this science communication outreach via Patreon: http://bit.ly/2Sfmkph

Did you know that every rock you pick up has changed many times throughout its history? It's true: rocks change. Geologists like to describe the changes as a rock cycle. They also classify rocks into one of three types: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. Each of these types can become the other, depending on the process used to break the rock down and reform it. In this weekly I simply wanted to describe the three basic rock types and how they might change into other types.

Special thanks to Jonas Stenstrom, Haley Chamberlain Nelson, Louise Fornander and Hazen Audel for all the Rock Climbing footage. Also, thanks to Eric and Rachel for the awesome trip to Red River Gorge last week. That was awesome.
