The existence of denudational processes such as weathering, erosion, transportations and deposition. And also the activities of mass wasting/movement, rock deformation and faulting.

WHAT is the change of one type of rock into a new type of rock?

ANSWER: rock cycle


How could a sedimentary rock provide evidence that a rock cycle exists?

The Rock cycle is a process whereby all types of rock are formed then eroded and "recycled" through different depositional processes. Sedimentary rocks can provide evidence that the rock cycle exists by looking at it under a microscope. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the lithification of grains of different sizes shapes and compositions. By detemining the compositions of the grains within a sedimentary rock through a petrographic microscope or through a scanning electron microscope (SEM) then it can be seen that some grains are composed of minerals that are solely igneous in origin. Likewise, sedimentary rocks can be metamorphosed to form meta-sediments.


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 planets have a rock cycle?

Earth definitely does. Possibly Venus and Mars have (or have had) a rock cycle of some sort, too. However, Venus and Mars lack liquid water and tectonic plates, which are important in Earth's rock cycle. On Earth, the rock types involved in the cycle are igneous (of volcanic origin), sedimentary and metamorphic.
