The five basic substances involved in the rock cycle?
the five basic substances in the rock cycle are sediments magma igneous rock metamorphism
Where does the rock cycle start?
the rock cycle starts with magma
Which process in the rock cycle causes magma to form?
Melting is the process in the rock cycle that causes magma to form.
During the rock cycle what forms magma cools?
Igneous rock
What part do volcanoes play in the rock cycle?
Magma
What is the definition of cooling in the rock cycle?
Cooling in the rock cycle means when the rock for example: Igneous rock is transforming it needs to cool when its first magma
What are the steps to rock cycle?
A rock cycle starts off as magma. Then as the magma cools, crystals form, and eventually the magma solidify into igneous rocks. The process breaks down into sedimentary rocks. The processes change a pre-existing igneous or sedimentary rock into a new rock called metamorphic rocks, then it melts into magma and the process starts all over.
What are intermediate materials in a rock cycle?
In the Rock Cycle : The Rocks are- Sedimentary Rocks, Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks. The Intermediate Materials are- Sediments and Magma
WHAT is the change of one type of rock into a new type of rock?
ANSWER: rock cycle
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.
Why can't a rock's history be traced from magma to igneous rock to sedimentary rock to metamorphic rock and back to magma?
Although you may not be able to trace the pattern, that doesn't mean that it isn't still there. This cycle that you are questioning about is a common one for rocks to go through if you look at a rock cycle diagram.
What role does energy play in the rock cycle?
