Glaciers are an important part of the rock life cycle. The part they play is to break huge rock faces into smaller pieces, as well as to move rocks from one place to another, while grinding them into pebbles and sand.

How does a metamorphic rock turn into a igneous rock?
If it finds its way dowm into the earths crust through rock cycle and then is melted and mixes together to form molten magma, it could re-erupt to the earths surface and form an extrusive igneous rock or cool and solidify within the earths crust as an intrusive igneous rock.
What is one fact of the rock cycle?
the earths surface has changed up to 3 times over the course of its entire history (completely different physical appearance) due to the rock cycle.
Why is weathering important to the rock cycle?
If there is no weather on earth we might not be able to live. weather also brings us food by giving us rain for our crops.
How is the rock cycle related to the movement to earths plates?
convection currents convection currents convection currents
