Is it likely that any of the rocks that were on Earth when it first formed are still in existence?
No, rock material is constantly recycled on Earth's surface through the rock cycle.
Is a model that shows how rocks are recycled from one type to another?
the rock cycle is correct
What is a model that shows how rocks are recycled from one typed to another?
the rock cycle is correct
What part of the rock cycle occur deep in earths crust?
The formation of intrusive igneous and metamorphic rocks.
How are rocks made into new rocks?
Rocks are made into new rocks through the rock cycle
What is continuously happening in the rock cycle?
The rock cycle is the natural process in which rocks transform from one rock type into, rock is continually recycled into new forms of rock.
Do rocks travel through a cycle of change?
Yes.
Does all rocks go through the rock cycle?
no

A good word to describe most of them would be recycled, by nature, via the rock cycle.
What is the order sedimentry rocks go through?
i mean in the rock cycle
How could a sedimentary rock provide evidence that the rock cycle exist?
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.
