(iv) How are extrusive and intrusive rocks formed?
(v) What do you mean by a rock cycle?
Answers
ANSWER
➡The two main categories of igneous rocks are extrusive and intrusive. Extrusive rocks are formed on the surface of the Earth from lava, which is magma that has emerged from underground. Intrusive rocks are formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the crust of the planet.
➡The rock cycle is the process by which rocks of one kind change into rocks of another kind. ... Metamorphic rock is igneous or sedimentary rock that has been heated and squeezed. It can erode into sediment or melt into magma.

v: What do u mean by a rock cycle?
The rock cycle is the process by which rocks of one kind change into rocks of another kind.[1]
There are three main kinds of rocks: igneous rock, metamorphic rock, and sedimentary rock. Each of these rocks can change into the other kinds by physical processes: cooling, melting, heat, weathering/erosion, compacting (squeezing tightly together), cementing, and pressure.
These processes can occur in different orders, and the cycle goes on forever. Earth has several processes for changing rocks. Wind and water can create sediment from rocks, and movement of one tectonic plate against another creates enormous heat and pressure which affects rocks greatly.Subduction converts all kinds into magma, which eventually rejoins the cycle as igneous rocks.
Hope this helps u!!!
