if you scrape the rockes together it will make friction which also means heat. If you do this long enough, hard enough, then you will make a fire but it isn't easy!

Can friable rock burn easily?

It depends, really. A rock's friability is the ability of a rock to easily be broken into smaller pieces(easy in the sense of hitting it with your hand). Whether or not a rock can burn is based more off of a rock's composition. For example, coal will burn, quartz will not. Rocks made up of organic material(coal, peat, lignite, oil shale) will burn - hence, fuel. A rock can, though, be organic and friable. So its possible to have a friable rock that can burn. But ignition isn't dependent upon friability.


Is it possible for rocks in the rock cycle to skip becoming sedimentary rock?

yes


What energy resource involves extracting heat from rocks?

The energy resource would be the heat in the rocks in this case. Note 1: I am not aware of any technological project that tries to do just that - extract heat from rocks. However, it should be possible in principle. Note 2: This is only possible if the rocks have a higher temperature than the surroundings. For more information, you may want to read about heat engines, and about the Carnot cycle.


According to the rock cycle what transitions are possible?

According to the rock cycle, there are three main classifications of rocks. Igneous rocks form when molten rock cools to a solid state; sedimentary rocks form when sediments are compressed together or hardened, or when crystals form from aqueous solutions; metamorphic rocks are rocks that are changed from one form to another by extreme heat or pressure.
