Solidification can occur when molten rock cools, or when sediments undergo lithification.
The rock cycle is a continuous and dynamic process that describes how rocks are formed, changed, and recycled on Earth's surface through various geological processes like weathering, erosion, melting, and solidification.
From sediments--'lithification'. Changing from one rock into a different rock--'metamorphism'. From the cooling of magma--'igneous solidification'. The last one there (igneous solidification) is questionable. Must be a better term.
igneous rock
A type of rock group that forms from the solidification of magma is indigenous rocks. One example of this is sulphur.
That would be the igneous rock.
Rhyolite
The process is called metamorphism, occurring through the rock cycle.
Solidification involves conversion of water to ice. It happens during snowfall in precipitation.
Rock cycle mean when one type of rock changes into another type under a great heat and preasure
Your classmate is incorrect; while igneous rock can eventually become sedimentary rock through processes like weathering and erosion, it is not a mandatory step in the rock cycle. The rock cycle is dynamic, allowing for various pathways, including the transformation of igneous rock into metamorphic rock under heat and pressure. Additionally, sedimentary rock can also become igneous rock through melting and solidification.
Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. These rocks can then be weathered, eroded, and transported by natural processes like wind and water. Eventually, they may be buried, metamorphosed, and melted again to form new igneous rocks in a continuous cycle called the rock cycle.
