Why is the rock cycle called the ''cycle''?

Its called a cycle because it has to go through steps to form the rocks or minerals. Just like a water cycle is called a water cycle because it also has to go through different stages or steps. Another reason why is because it doesn't have an end, it just keeps going round and round. They all need each other to create the other.because it just keeps on going and it doesent have a beginning it can start with any rock igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. the rock cycle is for example an igneous can turn into a metamorphic and that rock can turn into sedimentary and then that rock turns into any of the 3 but itself of course.

Does the rock cycle have a beginning or end?

yes it has a beginning but it has a end too because it starts all over again but it keeps on going No it doesn't have an ending or a beginning because it is a series or repeating steps. Even if the rock dies out, it'll change to a new type of rocks, and then repeats over and over again. No ending, no beginning, that's why it's call 'cycle.'
