Magma from the earth travels to the surface

It hardens and makes mountains.

Water breaks the mountains down over a long time

The small bits of rock travel down rivers and go into the sea

Over time, layers of rock form, called sedimentary rocks

During this time, at depth, the pressure is high and so rocks get bent and form metamorphic rocks.

Igneous rock must always become sedimentary rock next according to the rock cycle explain why this statement is incorrect?

This statement is incorrect because igneous rock can also transform into metamorphic rock through heat and pressure without going through the sedimentary rock stage. The rock cycle is a continuous process, and rocks can change directly from one type to another, depending on the conditions they are exposed to.


How and why is the rock cycle called a cycle?

a rock cycle is known as a " rock cycle " because the wheel of a bicycle spins at a total 360 degrees and therefore never has an interfierence to when it comes to an end. SO the word cycle was given to a rock cycle because the prosedure never ends.
