draw a rock cycle and distinct it
Answers
Image that says Cycles.
The Rock Cycle is a group of changes. Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock.
Igneous rock forms when magma cools and makes crystals. Magma is a hot liquid made of melted minerals. The minerals can form crystals when they cool. Igneous rock can form underground, where the magma cools slowly. Or, igneous rock can form above ground, where the magma cools quickly.

When it pours out on Earth's surface, magma is called lava. Yes, the same liquid rock matter that you see coming out of volcanoes.
On Earth's surface, wind and water can break rock into pieces. They can also carry rock pieces to another place. Usually, the rock pieces, called sediments, drop from the wind or water to make a layer. The layer can be buried under other layers of sediments. After a long time the sediments can be cemented together to make sedimentary rock. In this way, igneous rock can become sedimentary rock.
All rock can be heated. But where does the heat come from? Inside Earth there is heat from pressure (push your hands together very hard and feel the heat). There is heat from friction (rub your hands together and feel the heat). There is also heat from radioactive decay (the process that gives us nuclear power plants that make electricity).
So, what does the heat do to the rock? It bakes the rock.
Baked rock does not melt, but it does change. It forms crystals. If it has crystals already, it forms larger crystals. Because this rock changes, it is called metamorphic. Remember that a caterpillar changes to become a butterfly. That change is called metamorphosis. Metamorphosis can occur in rock when they are heated to 300 to 700 degrees Celsius.
When Earth's tectonic plates move around, they produce heat. When they collide, they build mountains and metamorphose (met-ah-MORE-foes) the rock.
The rock cycle continues. Mountains made of metamorphic rocks can be broken up and washed away by streams. New sediments from these mountains can make new sedimentary rock.
The rock cycle never stops.
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
