- Weathering and erosion break down rocks into sediment.
- Sediment is transported and deposited, forming sedimentary rocks.
- Heat and pressure can metamorphose sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks.
- Melting of metamorphic or sedimentary rocks can create magma.
- Magma can solidify underground to form igneous rocks.
- Igneous rocks exposed to the surface can undergo weathering and erosion, restarting the cycle.

What are the steps of the rock cycle if it starts with Sedimentary rock is pulled into Earth's interior by tectonic forces?
If sedimentary rock is pulled into Earth's interior by tectonic forces, it will undergo heat and pressure, transforming into metamorphic rock. Further movement and heating could melt the metamorphic rock, turning it into magma. The magma can then cool and solidify to form igneous rock, completing the rock cycle.
Which type of rock likely formed first to initiate the rock cycle?
The type of rock that likely formed first to initiate the rock cycle is igneous rock.
A sentence for rock cycle?
A rock cycle is a model that shows the cycle of rocks from the formation to the breakdown and to the reformation. He used a rock cycle for his science project.
What step in the rock cycle occurs immediately before sediments are laid down?
Weathering and erosion are the steps that occur immediately before sediments are laid down in the rock cycle. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller particles, while erosion transports these particles to a new location where they can accumulate and form sedimentary rocks.
Are the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath Earth's surface the same as thee forces that drive the rock cycle on or near Earth's surface?
No, the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath Earth's surface are primarily related to heat and pressure from the Earth's internal processes, such as tectonic activity. On or near the Earth's surface, factors like weathering, erosion, and deposition play a more significant role in shaping the rock cycle. Both sets of forces work together to continuously transform rocks on Earth.
How is the wed cycle related to the rock cycle?
by steps
How many ways are in the rock cycle?
There are seven steps in the rock cycle.
What kind of the steps of the rock cycle involve heat?
Orogenesis and Metamorphism.
Do all rocks follow the same set of steps through the rock cycle?
yes i think so
Why is the rock cycle called the ''cycle''?
Its called a cycle because it has to go through steps to form the rocks or minerals. Just like a water cycle is called a water cycle because it also has to go through different stages or steps. Another reason why is because it doesn't have an end, it just keeps going round and round. They all need each other to create the other.because it just keeps on going and it doesent have a beginning it can start with any rock igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. the rock cycle is for example an igneous can turn into a metamorphic and that rock can turn into sedimentary and then that rock turns into any of the 3 but itself of course.
Does the rock cycle have to start from the sedimentary rock?
No, the rock cycle does not have to start from the sedimentary rock
What does the rock cycle and water cycle have in common?
The rock cycle and water cycle both are natural.
What is the rock cycle including descriptions of how one type of rock can change into another type?
It is called the Rock Cycle.
What is beginning of the rock cycle?
there is no beginning or end of the rock cycle
What is is rock cycle?

WHAT is the change of one type of rock into a new type of rock?
ANSWER: rock cycle
What type of rock comes first in the rock cycle?
No Rock Comes First... its a cycle
