Rocks can change from one type to another through the rock cycle. Igneous rocks can transform into sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion, followed by the accumulation and lithification of sediments. Sedimentary rocks can become metamorphic rocks when subjected to high heat and pressure, altering their mineral composition and structure. Additionally, both igneous and metamorphic rocks can melt into magma, which, upon cooling, forms new igneous rocks, thus completing the cycle.
Through the rock cycle any type of rock can be transformed into another tye of rock.
A place where two rock formations occur next to each other is called a rock boundary or an outcrop. This is where the edges of two distinct rock formations meet and are often visible due to erosion or weathering.
Water, Wind or Glacier could make rocks hit and grind each other. This process is termed Attrition.
Lateral
A divergent boundary is a place where rock masses have been broken apart and are moving away from each other. This creates new crust as magma rises to fill the gap, leading to the formation of mid-ocean ridges or rift valleys on land.
The rock cycle explains how the three rock types are related to each other, and how processes change from one type to another over time.
The rock cycles are used to understand how rocks are made and how they change from metamorphic to sedamentary and so on. It is a chart to explain it.
Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock.
Rock
Igneous rocks can change into metamorphic rocks from great heat and pressure as all other rocks can, melt into magma, the molten rock, and erode into sediment, which are rock fragments.
Sedimentary rocks change to metamorphic the same way any other rock would: through heat and pressure.
sedimentary rocks change the same way any other rock would: heat and pressure
Well they are always on top each other because they think that they will protect each other.
Through the rock cycle any type of rock can be transformed into another tye of rock.
by the rock cycle :)
The rock cycle
If two rocks cannot scratch each other, then they would have to be of equal hardness. A harder rock can always scratch a softer rock.
