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.

Does the rock cycle have to start from the sedimentary rock?
No, the rock cycle does not have to start from the sedimentary rock
What does cycle?
cycle means it cycles between sedimentary,metamorphic and igneous rocks. cycle means it cycles between sedimentary,metamorphic and igneous rocks. -Mrs.Zalenski
What are the 3 rocks in the rock cycle?
Three (3) rocks in the rock cycle are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rock.
From the rock cycle describe the changes that a sedimentary rock could undergo?
A sedimentary rock could undergo further compaction and cementation to become a metamorphic rock due to increased heat and pressure. It could also melt and solidify into an igneous rock through volcanic activity. If exposed to erosion, it could break down into sediments and form new sedimentary rocks through deposition and lithification.
What evidence can you find in sedimentary rocks?

What are the stage of rock cycle?
sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic
What else can sedimentary rocks form from?
All rocks can form from sedimentary because the rock cycle is endless.
What are the different rocks in the rock cycle?
sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous
What is the aqualytic cycle?
I'm not sure what you mean by "aqualytic cycle." Could you please provide more context or clarify your question?
Why wont sedimentary rocks ever be the only type of rock?
Because a sedimentary rock goes through the rock cycle.
How does weathering relate to the rock cycle?
Weathering is a key process in the rock cycle because it breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, contributing to the formation of sedimentary rocks. These sediments can then be eroded, transported, and eventually compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rocks. So, weathering is integral to the creation of sedimentary rocks in the rock cycle.
