Heat from the earth's core, via the magma drives the tectonic part of the rock cycle. This heat is derived mainly from radioactive fission of the heavy elements in the Core.
Gravity drives much of the weathering part of the rock cycle. Via evaporation of water, and rain and rivers, and glaciation.
Some solar radiation also energizes part of the weathering part of the rock cycle.

How does a metamorphic rock turn into a igneous rock?
