What else can I help you with?
Can heat cause some rocks to melt and change into new rocks?
Yes, heat can cause rocks to melt and form new rocks through the process of melting, cooling, and solidifying. This can lead to the formation of igneous rocks from both existing rocks and molten rock material.
When rocks break they cause that move throughout the surrounding rock If they are large enough these are felt as earthquakes?
vibrations
What is the most frequant cause of rocks breaking apart?
Probably, earthquakes or volcanic activity. Or the movement of plate tectonics.
Can volcanoes cause earthquakes?
Yes, volcano eruptions can cause earthquakes; they can also be caused by earthquakes or occur at the same time.Yes. Earthquakes are common around active volcanoes. They are usually triggered by the movement of magma beneath the earth and the fracturing of rock that results. However, volcanic earthquakes are not very large and generally do not cause much damage directly.
When rocks return to the earths mantle they can eventually melt and become magma what are the main factors that control this change?
The main factors that control the melting of rocks and their transformation into magma in the Earth's mantle include temperature, pressure, and the presence of fluids. As rocks descend into the mantle, increasing temperatures can cause them to reach their melting points. Additionally, higher pressures can raise the melting point of rocks, while the introduction of water and other volatiles can lower the melting point, facilitating the melting process. These factors work together to influence the formation of magma from solid rocks in the mantle.
What processes cause earth's rocks to turn into magma?
Melting.
What will cause rocks to turn into sediments?
Weather and erosion and cementing together ( melting)
Some more material on causes of earthquakes?
Earthquakes are caused when huge pressures deep in the Earth cause rocks to shift or break.
How does movement in tectonic plates cause deformation in rocks?
the plate tectonics can have contact with one another and cause earthquakes, and tsunami's

What do plate movements causes that drives rocks through the rock cycle?
Pushing the rocks back into the mantle, where they melt and become magma again. plate movements also cause the folding, faulting, uplift of the crust that move rocks through the rock cycle
What is the most frequant cause of rocks breaking apart?
Probably, earthquakes or volcanic activity. Or the movement of plate tectonics.
What rock changes?
Everything. There is so many ways to change rocks. Erosion by Wind and Water. Earthquakes/Plate Tectonics, Subduction leading to metamorphism and ultimately melting and becoming Igneous. Man.
What is the relationship between faults and earthquakes?
Faults are fractures in the Earth's crust where rocks have moved past each other. When the rocks along a fault suddenly shift, it can cause an earthquake. The movement along faults is what generates the energy that produces earthquakes.
