The series of processes that slowly change rocks from one kind to another is called the rock cycle. This cycle involves processes such as weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation that transform rocks from one type to another over long periods of time.
This process is known as the rock cycle. It involves the formation, breakdown, and reformation of rocks through various geological processes such as erosion, deposition, heat, and pressure. Rocks can transform from one type to another, such as sedimentary to metamorphic or igneous to metamorphic.
The process is called the rock cycle. It involves the continuous transformation of rocks through processes such as weathering, erosion, deposition, melting, and cooling in the Earth's crust and mantle over millions of years. These processes result in the formation of different types of rocks, including sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks.
The rock cycle is the process by which rocks of one kind change into rocks of another kind. There are three main kinds of rocks: igneous rock, metamorphic rock, and sedimentary rock. Each of these rocks can change into the other kinds by one of these processes: cooling, melting, heat/pressure, weathering/erosion, and compacting/cementing (or squeezing tightly together). Two other substances also can become rocks and enter the rock cycle. They are magma which is liquid rock above or below ground, and sediment which is dust from crushed rock.
There are three main types, or classes, of rock which are:***the differences among these rocks have to do with how they are formed as shown below****.sedimentary, these rocks are joining of pre existing rocks. is kind of like lumps of many small rocks.metamorphic: rocks that have changed due to then being moved or changed in any kind of way. these are the typeshe most rocks areigneous: these are formed by material that comes from the cooling and remains of magma. this is the least common form of rock.

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have "morphed" into another kind of rock. These rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks. How do sedimentary and igneous rocks change? The rocks are under tons and tons of pressure, which fosters heat build up, and this causes them to change. If you exam metamorphic rock samples closely, you'll discover how flattened some of the grains in the rock are.
metamorphic
Earth's surface and inside the planet slowly change rocks from one kind to another.
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have "morphed" into another kind of rock. These rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks.
Is called metamorphism.
metamorphism
Yes, rocks can change from any type.Igneous rocks can be compressed and change into a Metamorphic.Sedimentary and Metamorphic can be heated and compressed together to form any kind of Metamorphic.Sedimentary rocks can be formed from chips of an Igneous rock.And so forth. . .
Chemical weathering
Chemical weathering
Rocks can change from one form to another from the results of weathering and erosion, or by stresses caused by heat or pressure, either over time or suddenly. Rocks can also change by a process called mesasomatism, where the chemistry of a rock is changed by ion transfer via hot circulating fluids.
