Yes. All rocks are at some point in the rock cycle depending on its own composition and the environment it is in (it can be subject to weathering to form sedimentary rocks, high temperature and pressure to form metamorphic rocks, or melting and cooling to form igneous rocks)

Why do rocks not all follow the same path through the rock cycle?
because..... idk that's why i asked you
Why do rocks not all follow the same path thought of as the rock cycle?
Because there are different types of paths and rocks.
What type of rock can all rocks turn into in the rock cycle?
It is a metomorphic rock because if any rock undergoes heat and pressure it will transform into a meomophic rock.
What is the cycle of the sedimmentary rock to show how it's formed?
the cycle of a chicken wing is you just kill it
What does the rock cycle describe?
The rock cycle is the natural process in which rocks transform from one rock type into another rock type over time, a type of natural recycling.Igneous rocks, which are formed from magma cooling underground, or lava above ground are formed from previous igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rocks which have become melted, usually as a result of plate collision and subduction.------->When these igneous rocks are exposed to weathering and erosion, they break down into smaller particles that are transported by wind and water to a place of deposition, where they can form into sedimentary rock strata, through a process of lithification, where excess water is squeezed out by overburden pressures and the particles are cemented together by various minerals precipitating out of solution. Igneous and metamorphic rocks can both be turned into sedimentary rocks in this way.------->Igneous and sedimentary rocks can also be changed by heat and/or pressure into metamorphic rocks, by transforming their existing mineral structures into new minerals or realigning the existing minerals. There are different degrees of metamorphism, so even an existing metamorphic rock can become a different metamorphic rock. -------->If these metamorphic rocks are melted, then solidify, they become igneous rocks, and the cycle starts all over again.The rock cycle is largely driven by lithospheric plate movements which cause subduction and uplift, also by climatic conditions and the associated erosional elements.
Does all rocks go through the rock cycle?
no
Image the temperature inside earth was no longer hot how might this affect the rock cycle?
Rocks and the Rock Cycle. ROCKS: Rocks, rocks, rocks. Weathering is all about rocks.
Do all rocks follow the same set of steps through the rock cycle?
yes i think so
Why do rocks not all follow the same path through the rock cycle?
because..... idk that's why i asked you
Do all rocks follow the rock cycle?
yes, but not stones.
What kind of rocks are formed in the rock cycle?
All the classes of rocks. The igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks
Why study geology?
To know all about rocks and fossils and their rock cycle.
What else can sedimentary rocks form from?
All rocks can form from sedimentary because the rock cycle is endless.
Does the rock cycle have to start with igneous rock?
No, the rock cycle does not have to start with igneous rock. The rock cycle is a continuous process that can begin with any type of rock, including sedimentary or metamorphic rock. The rocks can undergo transformation through processes such as weathering, erosion, heat and pressure, and melting, eventually forming new rock types.
Why do rocks not all follow the same path thought of as the rock cycle?
Because there are different types of paths and rocks.
What forces are in the rock cycle?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when other rocks (igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary) are weathered and eroded and their sediments are compacted and cemented together. Metamorphic rocks can be formed when heat and pressure is applied to any type of existing rock. Igneous rocks are formed when magma cools. The magma can be made up of melted rocks of any kind (sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic). The cycle repeats itself all the time and all of the rocks can come from any other kind of rock.
How do rocks turn in to sedimentary rock through the rock cycle?
Limestone, from heat, can melt into magma. Mainly, it is weathered and eroded back into calcium carbonate solution in the sea, with its insoluble fraction left as the sediment from which it was created. Lastly, heat and pressure (contact metamorphism) can alter it into marble (a metamorphic rock).
