Nick recently learned about the processes that occur in the Earth’s geosphere. For homework, he was instructed to read more about the rock cycle. Nick created a chart showing the stages of the rock cycle. Rearrange the statements into the correct order. Place the earliest stage of the rock cycle at the top and the latest stage at the bottom.

new rock emerges from inside earth
pieces harden into another kind of rock
rock goes back into the earth and melts
solid rock is broken into pieces
rock cools and hardens
