The rock cycle is basically the biography of a rock. It is important to keep in mind that any type of rock can turn into any other type of rock depending on the external forces. Let's start with a grouping of sediments. Through lithification (cementation), those sediments become a sedimentary rock. That sedimentary rock is then exposed to an intense amount of heat and pressure, which turn it into a metamorphic rock. That metamorphic rock is then melted at extremely high temperatures to make magma, which then cools to a solid state to create an igneous rock. That igneous rock is exposed to wind, water, ice, etc. and is weathered and eroded back into a grouping of sediments. From there, it starts all over again. This cycle continues and can start from any stage. An important fact is that each rock can become a different rock of that same type. For instance, an igneous rock can be remelted and recooled to form a different igneous rock. The same holds true for metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.
A cycle mean something which continue changing. In a rock cycle, the three types of rocks - Igneous rocks changes to Sedimentary rocks wich changes to Metamorphic rocks. These metamorphic rocks can cange into sedimentary rocks by suitable conditions
In the Rock Cycle : The Rocks are- Sedimentary Rocks, Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks. The Intermediate Materials are- Sediments and Magma
Some extraterrestrial rocks were not formed via the terrestrial rock cycle.
All rocks are classfied as 1 of the following:Sedmintary Igneous and Metamorphic
rocks change form in a process called the rock cycle
Because rocks are formed by a cycle of events
Rocks and the Rock Cycle. ROCKS: Rocks, rocks, rocks. Weathering is all about rocks.

The rock cycle can recycle rocks from melting and giving pressures to sediments.
Rocks are made into new rocks through the rock cycle
The Rock Cycle contributes to the formation of rocks : ~ )
cycle means it cycles between sedimentary,metamorphic and igneous rocks. cycle means it cycles between sedimentary,metamorphic and igneous rocks. -Mrs.Zalenski

Geology - The study of rocks
In the rock cycle, rocks change into differant types of rocks over time. For example, igneous rocks might break into sediments that form sedimentary rocks.
