Obsidian goes through the rock cycle the same way other rocks go through the rock cycle, either through metamorphosis, weathering and erosion and subsequent lithification into sedimentary rock, or by melt into another igneous rock.
Metamorphic rock can be transformed into sediments through the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition. Weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, erosion transports these pieces to new locations, and deposition settles the sediments in layers. Over time, these sediment layers can be compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.
Yes, a rock can undergo weathering and erosion simultaneously. Weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces to different locations. These processes can occur concurrently as the rock is being both broken down and carried away.
Weathering or erosion.
The process that breaks down rock and other materials at Earth's surface is called weathering. Weathering can occur through physical processes like freezing and thawing, as well as chemical processes like oxidation and hydrolysis.
Coombe rock is typically formed through a process called weathering and erosion, where softer rocks are gradually worn away by elements such as wind, water, and ice. This erosion leaves behind the more resistant rock formations like coombe rock. Over time, continuous weathering and erosion shape the coombe rock into its characteristic features.
Erosion.
A cave is typically formed through a combination of weathering and erosion. Weathering breaks down the rock material, while erosion removes it, creating a void in the rock that can develop into a cave over time.

Any and all rock can be changed into sediment by weathering and erosion.
Sedimentary rock forms through the process of weathering, erosion, and deposition. Weathering breaks down existing rocks into smaller pieces, which are then transported and deposited in layers. Over time, these layers are compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.
Weathering and erosion
By weathering and erosion. The types of weathering used is:physical weathering- when a plant grows inside a rock and the roots break it apart; abrasion- mechanical weathering - erosion- and chemical weathering - acid rain, water weathering and erosion.

Metamorphic rock can change into igneous rock through melting and solidification, or into sedimentary rock through weathering, erosion, and lithification.
