The rock gets reused over, and over again, for instance: Rock gets formed into sand, then sand can get pressed hard, and form sandstone, then the stone would weather down and form sand again. BOOM!

∙ 14y agoAny rock can become a sedimentary rock (even another sedimentary rock) is it is broken down by erosion, and the resulting sediment is then redeposited, undergoes compaction and consolidation and then lithification (lithification is just the process of becoming a rock)
Any rock can become a metamorphic rock if it is subject to sufficient pressure and temperature as a result of deep burial (which will result in both high heat and high pressure) or mostly pressure e.g from the pressure of two continental plates colliding.
examples - mudstone under high pressure becomes slate
Limestone under moderately high temperature and pressure becomes marble.
Granite under intense pressure and Temperature short of actual remelting becomes a gneiss, if the greiss undergoes even greater pressure and temperature it can become a schist.
Finally, any rock subject to sufficient temperature as a result of very deep burial will melt, become magma, and of
the magma them eventually cools enough to crystallise you have a new igneous rock

∙ 13y agoRocks are recycled by weathering, erosion, heat, and pressure. For examples: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rock. They are all recycled. They are made from other rocks. In other words, the rock cycle.

What is the role of the carbon cycle?
recycle nutrients from dead organisms or their wastes
Describe the water cycle and the importance of the suns radiant energy in that cycle?
it allows the water cycle to continuously vaporize the water into mist
What makes the Calvin cycle a cycle?
The Calvin cycle is called a cycle because the catalysts are recycled and used again repeatedly and continuously (i.e. a circular process).
What is silmilar between the citric acid cycle and the Calvin cycle?
Both cycles recycle the molecule needed for the first reaction.Both recycle the molecules needed so that they can occur again. Energy is required for both to occur.
Is earths water cycle controlled by gravity?
The Earth's water cycle is controlled by the sun.
What is the name for the ways earth materials are moved around on the surface?
The earths materials move around in cycles. For example, the rock cycle, the water cycle, the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle, and so on.
What is the process of recycling materials that make up the earths crust and mantle?
The Rock Cycle ^_^
Where can someone recycle a small keyboard?
A small keyboard can be recycled with the Blue Grass Cycle website. They offer a free service to pick up the keyboard and recycle it for the materials.
Does the earth recycle water for us?
yes earth does recycle water for us this method is shown in the water cycle which is a form of cycle mad from the weather .. when the water evaporates all the bad materials stay on the ground .. so that's a form of recycling =)
How does the rock cycle recycle rocks?
The rock cycle can recycle rocks from melting and giving pressures to sediments.
Is there a word in recycle?
pfft yes Cycle
What are the proper ways of storage of garbage at home?
The proper ways of storaging materials is recycle it and practice composting of biodegradable waste to used it again and again like a cycle.
How does the earth recycle itself?
one way is the rock cycle and the other is the water cycle
What methods are used to recycle water?
the water cycle
What materials are part of the most important cycle in the ecosystem?
The three most important cycles in ecosystems are made of the materials water, carbon and nitrogen. As a result of these three cycles, the ecosystem is able to dispose of waste and recycle elements back into nature.
Can you put a dash in recycle?
Yes, you can put a dash in recycle (between the re and the cycle). However, the spelling "recycle" is more accepted form of the word.
