Primarily heat, pressure, erosion, and compaction causes rocks to change during the Rock Cycle. For example, sedimentary rock can be changed into metamorphic rock by added heat and added pressure; metamorphic rock can be changed into igneous rock through a process of melting, then cooling (added then decreased heat); igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock through weather and erosion, and then compaction and cementation.

yes
How does heat in the form of friction and pressure affect the rock cycle?
The heat (in the form of friction and pressure) affects the rock by performing a process called menstrual which changes the material of the rock, but not the mass.
What changes solid earth the most?
the rock cycle
What is the continuous process by which one type of rock changes into another?
The rock cycle is the process through which rocks change from one type to another. This process includes melting, metamorphism, uplift, weathering, and burial. Metamorphism is specifically the change of pre-existing rock into new rock through pressure and temperature.
