The sequence of events that describes the change of rock from one type to another is called?
The sequence of events that describes the change of rock from one type to another is called the rock cycle. This cycle involves processes such as weathering, erosion, sedimentation, metamorphism, and igneous activity that transform rocks from one type to another over geological time scales.
Which of the followed determines the pathway a rock will follow in the rock cycle?
The forces that act on the rock
How do you determine the sequence of events in rock layers?
The sequence of events in rock layers can be determined through the principle of superposition, which states that in any undisturbed sequence of rock layers, the youngest rocks are at the top and the oldest are at the bottom. Fossils found in the rock layers can also help determine the relative age of the rocks and the sequence of events that occurred. Additionally, geologists use techniques such as radiometric dating to determine the absolute age of rocks within the sequence.
What sequence of events would have to take place to change a metamorphic rock into an igneous rock?
lava dries air smoothens it and water confines it
What is an example of a series of events that will happen over and over again?
I think what you are talking about is a cyclic change. For instance, the water cycle, the rock cycle and plate tectonics are all examples of cyclic change because it is a series of events that repeats itself over time.
Why is it necessary to observe the rock layers of several different localities in order to obtain a complete sequence of events?

List two events that can disturb rock-layer sequence?
Earthquakes can disturb rock-layer sequence by causing the rocks to shift and deform, potentially altering their original positions and sequence. Lava flows from volcanic eruptions can cover existing rock layers, creating new layers and potentially burying or destroying the original sequence.
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 is the sequence of events in ice wedging?
Ice wedging occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and creates stress on the rock. This repeated freezing and thawing cycle eventually causes the rock to break apart into smaller pieces. The broken fragments can further break down into soil particles through continued weathering processes.
What does the rock cycle and water cycle have in common?
The rock cycle and water cycle both are natural.
What is a collection of events that changes rock into different forms of rock?
The process by which rocks are transformed into different types of rocks due to high temperature and pressure is called metamorphism. This collection of events can lead to the formation of metamorphic rocks such as marble, schist, and gneiss.
What is the rock cycle including descriptions of how one type of rock can change into another type?
It is called the Rock Cycle.
