It seems that I can't see the diagram you are referring to. However, I can help you understand the rock cycle and provide the common labels that are typically included in a diagram of the rock cycle.
Here are the primary processes and labels that you can use to complete your rock cycle diagram:
-
Igneous Rock: Formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
- Label: "Cooling and solidification"
-
Sedimentary Rock: Formed from the compaction and cementation of sediments.
- Label: "Erosion and sedimentation"
-
Metamorphic Rock: Formed when existing rock is changed by heat, pressure, or chemically active fluids.
- Label: "Heat and pressure"
-
Magma: Molten rock beneath the Earth's surface.
- Label: "Melting"
-
Weathering and Erosion: The processes that break down rocks and transport sediment.
- Label: "Weathering and erosion"
-
Uplift: The process that moves rocks to higher elevations.
- Label: "Uplift"
-
Subduction: The process where one tectonic plate moves under another, often leading to melting of rocks.
- Label: "Subduction"
By using these labels, you should be able to accurately illustrate various pathways and processes within the rock cycle. If you can provide a description of your diagram or specific areas where you seek assistance, that would allow me to offer more tailored guidance!
