Do all rocks follow the rock cycle?
yes, but not stones.
Does the rock cycle have to start with igneous rock?
No, the rock cycle does not have to start with igneous rock. The rock cycle is a continuous process that can begin with any type of rock, including sedimentary or metamorphic rock. The rocks can undergo transformation through processes such as weathering, erosion, heat and pressure, and melting, eventually forming new rock types.
How could a sedimentary rock provide evidence that a rock cycle exists?
The Rock cycle is a process whereby all types of rock are formed then eroded and "recycled" through different depositional processes. Sedimentary rocks can provide evidence that the rock cycle exists by looking at it under a microscope. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the lithification of grains of different sizes shapes and compositions. By detemining the compositions of the grains within a sedimentary rock through a petrographic microscope or through a scanning electron microscope (SEM) then it can be seen that some grains are composed of minerals that are solely igneous in origin. Likewise, sedimentary rocks can be metamorphosed to form meta-sediments.
What processes are involved in this change of the rock cycle?
New rocks are formed, Igneous Rock, Sedimentary Rock, and Metamorphic Rock. It will take over a million years to complete the rock cycle, then it will start all over again.
How are igneous and sedimentary rocks similar?
They are all made of minerals. They are solid. They are part of the rock cycle.
Image the temperature inside earth was no longer hot how might this affect the rock cycle?
Rocks and the Rock Cycle. ROCKS: Rocks, rocks, rocks. Weathering is all about rocks.
Do all rocks go through the rock cycle?
Yes. All rocks are at some point in the rock cycle depending on its own composition and the environment it is in (it can be subject to weathering to form sedimentary rocks, high temperature and pressure to form metamorphic rocks, or melting and cooling to form igneous rocks)
Do all rocks follow the same set of steps through the rock cycle?
yes i think so
Why do rocks not all follow the same path through the rock cycle?
because..... idk that's why i asked you
Do all rocks follow the rock cycle?
yes, but not stones.
What kind of rocks are formed in the rock cycle?
All the classes of rocks. The igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks
Why study geology?
To know all about rocks and fossils and their rock cycle.
What else can sedimentary rocks form from?
All rocks can form from sedimentary because the rock cycle is endless.
Does the rock cycle have to start with igneous rock?
No, the rock cycle does not have to start with igneous rock. The rock cycle is a continuous process that can begin with any type of rock, including sedimentary or metamorphic rock. The rocks can undergo transformation through processes such as weathering, erosion, heat and pressure, and melting, eventually forming new rock types.
Why do rocks not all follow the same path thought of as the rock cycle?
Because there are different types of paths and rocks.
What forces are in the rock cycle?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when other rocks (igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary) are weathered and eroded and their sediments are compacted and cemented together. Metamorphic rocks can be formed when heat and pressure is applied to any type of existing rock. Igneous rocks are formed when magma cools. The magma can be made up of melted rocks of any kind (sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic). The cycle repeats itself all the time and all of the rocks can come from any other kind of rock.
How do rocks turn in to sedimentary rock through the rock cycle?
Limestone, from heat, can melt into magma. Mainly, it is weathered and eroded back into calcium carbonate solution in the sea, with its insoluble fraction left as the sediment from which it was created. Lastly, heat and pressure (contact metamorphism) can alter it into marble (a metamorphic rock).
