What is the name for rocks that are moved around and eventually form new rocks?
These are called "Sedimentary rocks
The process that changes rock into one or more new compounds is called?
when rocks undergo chemical changes as a result those reactions are called chemical weather.please rate and subscribe this answer
What condition change igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks to metamorphic rock?
Extreme heat and pressure, like that of coal turning to diamonds. Metamorphic rocks, in turn, are then broken down or turned into molten rock, so new sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic rocks can form.
Why is rock cycle more appropriate term than rock pathway in most instances?
Because the rock cycle occurs often to new made rocks. A pathway would just demonstrate it keep on going.
What role does magma play in the rock cycle?
Volcanoes effect rock formations a lot, since magma is molten rock, when it cools down and sets, it will turn back into rock, usually it will dry and turn black, but sometimes it can turn a dark grey. It will cover up other rocks, and make new rocks.
How are rocks made into new rocks?
Rocks are made into new rocks through the rock cycle
The process in which rocks change shape is called?
Igneous rocks are formed from molten lava being cooled down. Metamorphic rocks start as igneous rocks and change form. Sedimentary rocks form from layers in the earths crust.
A series of processes on Earth and surface and interior that slowly changes rocks from one kind to another is called?
The rock cycle.
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 is the name for rocks that are moved around and eventually form new rocks?
These are called "Sedimentary rocks
What part of the rock cycle occur deep in earths crust?
The formation of intrusive igneous and metamorphic rocks.

What are rocks changed by intense pressure and heat become new rocks called?
I think you are looking for the term "Metamorphic".
What is continuously happening in the rock cycle?
The rock cycle is the natural process in which rocks transform from one rock type into, rock is continually recycled into new forms of rock.
What would happen to the rock cycle if the erosion did not occur?
There Would No longer Be a Rock Cycle :(
What condition change igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks to metamorphic rock?
Extreme heat and pressure, like that of coal turning to diamonds. Metamorphic rocks, in turn, are then broken down or turned into molten rock, so new sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic rocks can form.
Does the water cycle have any effect on the rock cycle?
hey how do rock cycle form????pliz tell me k??
