What 2 things are needed to change a rock into metamorphic rock?
Heat and pressure are the two main agents needed to change a rock into metamorphic rock. Heat causes the minerals within the rock to recrystallize, while pressure creates the conditions for those new minerals to align in a specific orientation.
In addition to plate tectonics what is the other main driving force of the rock cycle?
Water flow
Brief description of the rock cycle?
The rock cycle is the process in which rocks continually change from one type to another. The three different types of rock that are in the rock cycle are called, metamorphic, Igneous, and sedimentary.
What in no more than three sentences can you explain the rock cycle?
Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock.
What is the definition of the rock cycle in your own words?
The rock cycle refers to the continuous process of formation, alteration, breakdown, and reformation of rocks on Earth's surface. It involves various geological processes like weathering, erosion, sedimentation, and metamorphism that transform rocks from one type to another over time. The cycle includes three main rock types - igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks - and demonstrates how they continuously change form through natural processes.
What are the main agents of changes in the rock cycle?
temperture,pressure,weathering,and erosion.
WHAT is the change of one type of rock into a new type of rock?

What is the main concept behind the rock cycle?
The rock cycle is a fundamental concept in geology that describes the dynamic transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous
Do rocks change into different rock in the rock cycle?
yes, rocks change. metamorphic, sedimantary and igneous rocks can change into eachother.
What the rock cycle describe?
The rock cycle describes how rocks are formed, and how they change to sedimentary rock, to metamorphic rock, to magma, to igneous rock, to sediment, and back to sedimentary rock.
What is the cycle for the rock cycle?
The rock cycles are used to understand how rocks are made and how they change from metamorphic to sedamentary and so on. It is a chart to explain it.
