Young scholars describe the changes undergone by rocks during the rock cycle and develop an understanding of the interconnectedness of the rock cycle.

Students learn the components of the rock cycle and how rocks can change over time under the influence of weathering, erosion, pressure and heat. They learn about geotechnical engineering and the role these engineers play in the...
