The rock cycle has to start at least with igneous rocks, some of which will be eruptive.
We may assume that any 'sedimentary' rocks that arrived as meteors have all been metamorphosed, though there are counter instances. For example the Sudbury Meteor and mineral complex. (Canada).
What else can I help you with?
Why must igneous come before sedimentary in the rock cycle?
For most purposes there is no "beginning" to the rock cycle. Any rock can be weathered away and remade into sedimentary rock. Igneous rocks are sometimes depicted as the start of the rock cycle because the first rocks on Earth were igneous.
What processes are involved in this change of the rock cycle?
New rocks are formed, Igneous Rock, Sedimentary Rock, and Metamorphic Rock. It will take over a million years to complete the rock cycle, then it will start all over again.
How can a igneous rocks change into a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks can change to igneous rock when it goes through the rock cycle so a sediment can move to igneous rock where there is a volcanic activity happens making the the sediment get heat and pressure that makes igneous rock.So when you do the rock cycle you can go from igneous rock to a metamorphic rock.
During the rock cycle what forms magma cools?
Igneous rock
Can a metamorphic rock be changed into an igneous rock?
Yes. It's all part of the rock cycle.
Why must igneous come before sedimentary in the rock cycle?

What are the 3 rocks in the rock cycle?
Three (3) rocks in the rock cycle are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rock.
Where does the rock cycle start?
The rock cycle can start in multiple ways, but often it begins with the formation of igneous rocks through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. These igneous rocks can then be weathered and eroded into sediment, which may eventually become sedimentary rocks through compaction and cementation. The sedimentary and igneous rocks can then be transformed into metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure.
Is there a sentence with the word rock cycle?
Igneous rock can weather and become sedimentary rock . Metamorphic rock can be melted in a volcano and become igneous rock. Igneous rock and sedimentary rock can be heated and pressurized to form metamorphic rock.
What part of the rock cycle happens after the igneous rock?
sedimentary rock

What stage in the rock cycle is between metamorphic rock and igneous rock?
Melting.
Do a igneous rock become a sedimentary rock in the rock cycle?
yes it erodes
During the rock cycle what forms magma cools?
Igneous rock
What are the stage of rock cycle?
sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic
What are the three types of rock involved in the rock cycle?
metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary
