What forces are in the rock cycle?

Sedimentary rocks are formed when other rocks (igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary) are weathered and eroded and their sediments are compacted and cemented together. Metamorphic rocks can be formed when heat and pressure is applied to any type of existing rock. Igneous rocks are formed when magma cools. The magma can be made up of melted rocks of any kind (sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic). The cycle repeats itself all the time and all of the rocks can come from any other kind of rock.
