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.

Next stop: Ocean-
The rock dust evaporates with the water and goes to the clouds.

The ninth stop is the clouds:

While in the clouds, it starts to snow. The rock ends up in the mountains again.
