The Rock Cycle is a beautiful process. Conversation of matter, off the top of my head, states that matter cannot be gained or lost, that all changes that happen to it in a closed system will always result in the same "amount" of matter. The Rock Cycle imitates this. There are three types of rocks: Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic. Igneous rocks are rocks cooled from molten magma/lava. Sedimentary rocks are deposited and cemented particles of rocks. Metamorphic rocks are the result of rocks under extreme pressure and heat. All rocks, will eventually, make other rocks. For example, molten lava cools to make an Igneous rock. It then gets weathered into small particles and carried away by an agent of erosion. The particles get deposited and buried along with other rocks. Over time, our rock particles get cemented into a Sedimentary rock. This process continues to happen in the area above it and soon, enough pressure from the rocks above it transform the rock into a Metamorphic rock. This rock we have now is completely different form the Igneous rock it started as, up to the point it does not seem like starting rock at all. From this point, the rock would be pushed down into the Earth's burning hot mantle and be melted into the magma that will soon start over as our original rock... beautiful indeed...
What else can I help you with?
How are the Rock Cycle and the Law of Conservation of mass related?
The Rock Cycle and the Law of Conservation of Mass are related because the processes involved in the rock cycle (such as weathering, erosion, and deposition) do not create or destroy matter, they only transform it from one form to another. This is consistent with the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
WHAT is the change of one type of rock into a new type of rock?
ANSWER: rock cycle
Do changes in the rock cycle create or destroy matter?
No, changes in the rock cycle do not create or destroy matter; they simply redistribute and transform existing matter. Rocks are broken down into sediment, which is then compacted and cemented to form new rocks through processes like erosion, deposition, and lithification.
Is the rock cycle part of the biochemical cycle?
No, the rock cycle is not part of the biochemical cycle. The rock cycle describes the process through which rocks change and transform over time due to various geological forces, whereas the biochemical cycle involves the movement and transformation of matter like carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus through living organisms, the atmosphere, and the Earth's crust.
Explain one way that the rock cycle can illustrate the principle of conversation of matter?
The rock cycle demonstrates the conservation of matter by showing how rocks change form through processes like erosion, weathering, and heat and pressure acting on them. While rocks may transform from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic and back again, the total amount of matter remains constant throughout these changes, illustrating the principle of conservation of matter.

How is the wed cycle related to the rock cycle?
by steps
WHAT is the change of one type of rock into a new type of rock?
ANSWER: rock cycle
When rocks change form in the rock cycle we see an example of the conservation of what?
When rocks change form in the rock cycle, we see an example of the conservation of mass. This principle states that the total mass of the rock remains constant throughout the cycle, even as it undergoes various processes such as weathering, erosion, and sedimentation.
What happens to matter in the rock cycle?
i think it gets bigger
How are weathering erosion and deposition related to the rock cycle?
by weathering
What is the purpose of the Rock Cycle?
The rock cycle explains how the three rock types are related to each other, and how processes change from one type to another over time.
