Magma cools into igneous rock. The igneous rock is uplifted to the surface and weathered by freeze/thaw cycles, acidic rainfall and plant root growth into smaller particles which are eroded and eventually settle as sand on the ocean floor. As more and more sand accumulates, the sand particles can lithify into sandstone, a sedimentary rock. With increasing depth, or from proximity to a heat source, the sandstone particles can recrystallize, forming the metamorphic rock quartzite.

What is an non example for rock cycle?
An example that is not part of the rock cycle would be a volcanic eruption, where molten rock (magma) is expelled from Earth's interior onto its surface. This event is a singular occurrence and does not illustrate the continuous processes of rock formation, transformation, and recycling that make up the rock cycle.
Scientists use rock cycle to describe what process?
The rock cycle is how one type of rock can be changed into another type of rock.
Are the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface?
The forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface are not the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface because the processes of the rock cycle beneath the earth surface and above the earth surface are diffferent.

What would happen to the rock cycle if did not occur?
There Would No longer Be a Rock Cycle :(
How would rock cycle be used in a sentence?
The cycle of rocks from their birth to eventual decay is termed as Rock Cycle.
What is an non example for rock cycle?
An example that is not part of the rock cycle would be a volcanic eruption, where molten rock (magma) is expelled from Earth's interior onto its surface. This event is a singular occurrence and does not illustrate the continuous processes of rock formation, transformation, and recycling that make up the rock cycle.
