Does the rock cycle ever end?
no it doesn't have a beginning or an end. it will stop only when the earth runs out of water.
What would happen if there was no rock cycle?
Weathering and erosion, transport, and deposition would all effectively stop. Scientists believe that if all these active processes of the rock cycle ceased to operate, then our planet would cease to be able to support any life. credits: Sage Advice
Is the rock cycle a circle?
Absolutely! Simply put, the wind is always blowing, the water is always flowing, therefore sedimentary processes are always occurring (wow that was a cool rhyme I just made up). Likewise, the magma within the Earth is always hot, which is always melting material, creating igneous rocks. From a metamorphic standpoint, there will always be areas with high heat and temperature, therefore there will always be metamorphic rocks. If any of these processes stopped, we'd have real problems.
What might stop the development of an organic sedimentary rock?
A sedimentary rock is one that is formed from sediments laid down in horizontal strata, usual at the bottom of lakes or shallow seas. But they can be formed on land, such as Old Red Sandstone, which is a remnant of an ancient hot desert.An "organic" sedimentary rock is one made up not from mineral sediments such as sand and mud, but from the skeletal remains of sea-creatures or from partially decayed plant remains (coal). It follows that organic sedimentary rock will always be formed under water. (The skeletons are mineral, typically calcium carbonate). An example is limestone, which may be carboniferous, oolitic, or chalk.To answer the question, the factors that might stop the development of an organic sedimentary rock include: extinction of the species, loss of sea-life through climate change, or the drying up of the ocean through land uplift. Even an ice-age might affect the process.

yes because its the most densed it could be. hope it helps
Did the rock cycle stop millions of years ago?
No, it still continues to this day.
What are the elements found in quartzite?
Sandstone is converted into quartzite through heating and pressure usually related to tectonic compression within orogenic belts. Stop asking these questions and take 5 seconds of your OWN time to wikipedia the names "slate" and "quartzite".
Why doesn't the water cycle stop?
bececause water cycle doesnt have a beginning and it never stops

If you have already started a menstrual cycle how can you stop it?
You can not stop a menstrual cycle without removing your ovaries. Some birth control pills allow you to skip periods, but this does not stop the cycle.
Is petroleum an igneous rock sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock?
sedimentary, the oil is formed within a source rock formed with high quantities of decomposed vegetation, then a reservoir rock which holds the oil and a capping rock which seals it shut in addition to this sequence of rocks, certain structures are required to stop the oil escaping, a classic would be an anticline
