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. It shows how igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks are made

Explanation:

The transformation of one type of rock into another, under certain conditions and in a cyclical manner is referred to as the rock cycle. ... Sedimentary and igneous rocks transform into metamorphic rocks when subjected to heat and pressure.

The rock cycle is a process in which rocks are continuously transformed between the three rock types igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. ... If the sediments are buried under further layers of sediment, they can become lithified to produce a sedimentary rock. Magma is produced when rocks are melted.

  • The rock cycle is the process by which rocks of one kind change into rocks of another kind.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.
