Why must igneous come before sedimentary in the rock cycle?
For most purposes there is no "beginning" to the rock cycle. Any rock can be weathered away and remade into sedimentary rock. Igneous rocks are sometimes depicted as the start of the rock cycle because the first rocks on Earth were igneous.
What are the 3 rocks in the rock cycle?
Three (3) rocks in the rock cycle are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rock.
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.
What part of the rock cycle happens after the igneous rock?
sedimentary rock
What the rock cycle describe?
The rock cycle describes how rocks are formed, and how they change to sedimentary rock, to metamorphic rock, to magma, to igneous rock, to sediment, and back to sedimentary rock.
What must any rock in the rock cycle do to become a sedimentary rock?
It must erode into sediment and then be compressed to form sedimentary rock.
Why wont sedimentary rocks ever be the only type of rock?
Because a sedimentary rock goes through the rock cycle.
Does the rock cycle have to start with igneous rock?
The rock cycle has to start at least with igneous rocks, some of which will be eruptive. We may assume that any 'sedimentary' rocks that arrived as meteors have all been metamorphosed, though there are counter instances. For example the Sudbury Meteor and mineral complex. (Canada).
Do a igneous rock become a sedimentary rock in the rock cycle?
yes it erodes
Is there a sentence with the word rock cycle?
Igneous rock can weather and become sedimentary rock . Metamorphic rock can be melted in a volcano and become igneous rock. Igneous rock and sedimentary rock can be heated and pressurized to form metamorphic rock.
Where does the rock cycle start?
The rock cycle can start in multiple ways, but often it begins with the formation of igneous rocks through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. These igneous rocks can then be weathered and eroded into sediment, which may eventually become sedimentary rocks through compaction and cementation. The sedimentary and igneous rocks can then be transformed into metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure.
What are the stage of rock cycle?
sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic
