What are the three types of rocks involved in the rock cycle?

The three types of rocks involved in the rock cycle are igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from the solidification of molten magma, sedimentary rocks form from the deposition and lithification of sediments, and metamorphic rocks form from pre-existing rocks that are subjected to high heat and pressure.


Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?

Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks through the process of heat and pressure, but they are more commonly associated with forming from existing metamorphic or sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks can indirectly contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks by heating up and altering surrounding rocks, leading to the formation of new metamorphic rocks.

How do igneous rocks form into metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?

Igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks by being subjected to high heat and pressure, causing recrystallization of minerals. Igneous rocks can also weather and erode to form sediment, which can then be deposited, compacted, and cemented to form sedimentary rocks.


What are the the three classes of rocks?

The three classes of rocks are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from the cooling of magma or lava, sedimentary rocks result from the accumulation and compression of sediment, and metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks due to high heat and pressure.
