4. What is a rock cycle
Answers
Answer:
The rock cycle is a concept used to explain how the three basic rock types are related and how Earth processes, over geologic time, change a rock from one type into another. Plate tectonic activity, along with weathering and erosional processes, are responsible for the continued recycling of rocks.
Explanation:
Answer:
There are 3 kinds of rocks
Igneous Rock
Metamorphic Rock
Sedimentary Rocks
Igneous Rock is formed when molten lava cools down either Inside or outside the surface those rock which are formed inside the lava is called intrusive Igneous Rock and those which are formed outside is called extrusive igneous rock
Sedimentary rocks are formed in two way 1st by erosion, weathering and deposion and 2nd by Rock clash or when rocks clash with each other and they break to form sedimentary rocks
Metamorphic Rocks are formed when rocks are exposed to great and high pressure
The changing of different kinds of rocks into other rocks is called Rock cycle like both igneous and metamorphic rocks can change into sedimentary rocks in the same way each kind of rock can change into other 2 kind of rocks and this is called rock cycle.
