ANSWER: rock cycle
New rocks are formed, Igneous Rock, Sedimentary Rock, and Metamorphic Rock. It will take over a million years to complete the rock cycle, then it will start all over again.
The geological processes, that are involved in changing igneous rock to sedimentary rock are; weathering, erosion, deposition and compaction.
(Orogenesis) - Melting, Eruption, Cooling, Crystallization, Solidification. (Diagnesis) - Weathering, Erosion, Transportation, Deposition, Stratification, Cementation, Lithification, Sedimentation. (Metamorphism) - Heating, Pressurization, Stress, Deformation, Recrystallization.
The two major processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rock include deposition (in which sedimentary material is deposited in an area) and cementation (in which that material becomes glued together overtime).
ANSWER: rock cycle
Lava to indicate the materials involved in the rock cycle. The continuous processes that cause rocks to change make up the rock cycle.
New rocks are formed, Igneous Rock, Sedimentary Rock, and Metamorphic Rock. It will take over a million years to complete the rock cycle, then it will start all over again.
It helps in the understanding of natural processes, and is an invaluable tool in the exploration and discovery of valuable Natural Resources.
The external processes are in charge for transforming solid rock into sediment.
The rock cycle and water cycle both are natural.
The geological processes, that are involved in changing igneous rock to sedimentary rock are; weathering, erosion, deposition and compaction.
rock cycle
There are various processes that are involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks. This starts from weathering to deposition then erosion and finally there is lithification and compaction.
Melting and Recrystallization.
