Earth's crust is largely covered with a thin layer of sedimentary rock, due to weathering and erosion and the process of lithification. The bulk of the oceanic and continental crust is composed of igneous and to a lesser extent, metamorphic rock. The rock cycle is largely due to the weather and to plate tectonics. Plate tectonics uplifts rock, exposing it to the weather, and also creates igneous crustal rock and the metamorphism of existing rock.
