I began my adventure in The Ocean-

The ocean floor was subducted, causing the rock to go to the Earth’s interior!

My second stop is the Earth’s interior:

The tectonic plates push upward and send the rock to the mountains!

My third stop is the mountains:

The ice on the mountains melt, carrying the rocks, and sending me to the river.

My next destination is a river! :

While in the river, sediments form and the rock goes to the soil.

The fifth stop is the soil:

While in the soil, pressure occurs sending the rock back to the Earth’s interior!

The sixth stop is back at the Earth’s interior:

At this stop, magma is forced up sending the rock to a volcano.
