Apart from most basic guidebooks to Geology, the best option for finding a good rock cycle diagram would be an online resource such as "Wikipedia" or "Learner". It must be noted that the quality of a particular rock cycle diagram is somewhat depended on the particular information desired and even aesthetic qualities. For instance if the purpose is the study of the landscapes in which the cycle occurs, the diagram much be different from a diagram which has an in-depth focus on the rock itself.

How do you preserve the rock cycle?

Nothing you could do without intent could disrupt the rock cycle. There is no need for you to worry.


What are two thing that could happen to metamorphic rock to continue the rock cycle?

Weathering or melt.


What element is missing from this diagram of rock cycle?

The missing element is the process of weathering and erosion, which breaks down rocks into smaller pieces that can eventually become sediment. This step is crucial in the rock cycle as it helps to move minerals from one location to another.


What are two things that could happen to a matamorphic rock to continue the rock cycle?

it gets melted into magma, then it is cooled into igneous rock.


What sentence could you use for the word rock cycle?

The rock cycle is the best way to learn about how rocks are formed.


Why can't a rock's history be traced from magma to igneous rock to sedimentary rock to metamorphic rock and back to magma?

Although you may not be able to trace the pattern, that doesn't mean that it isn't still there. This cycle that you are questioning about is a common one for rocks to go through if you look at a rock cycle diagram.


Does the rock cycle have to start from the sedimentary rock?

No, the rock cycle does not have to start from the sedimentary rock


Is it possible that the igneous rock can be formed into sedimentary or metamorphic or sedimentary to igneous or metamorphic?

Most of it you got right. Have you ever heard of something called the rock cycle? If you have, good. If you haven't, here is a link to an excellent diagram: http://www.emporia.edu/earthsci/student/henderson1/rock_cycle.gif Anyway, if you look at the diagram, you can see how igneous rock can transform into sediment, then sedimentary rock, or bypass sedimentary rock altogether and go to metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can turn into metamorphic rock with heat and pressure. However, to turn into igneous rock from sedimentary rock, it will have to melt down into magma/lava before becoming igneous rock once again.


What does the rock cycle and water cycle have in common?

What diagram represents deposition?

A deposition is represented by a sedimentary rock cycle diagram. It shows the process of sediments being deposited and compacted over time to form sedimentary rocks. This diagram usually includes layers of sediment accumulating to show the deposition process.
