What are the three types of rocks that make up the rock cycle?

The three types of rocks that make up the rock cycle are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from the solidification of magma, sedimentary rocks result from the accumulation and compression of sediments, and metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure.


When rocks exposed they start to be eroded does the cycle start again?

Yes. The eroded particles can make their way - by streams and rivers to the oceans where they would form the seabed. Layer upon layer of such sediments would exert pressure on lower sediments so that these particles coalesced into sedimentary rock.You can also have metamorphic rocks which are formed under intense heat and pressure under the surface of the earth. For example, limestone is a sedimentary form of [mainly] calcium carbonate. Give it lots of heat and pressure and you get the metamorphic version: marble.Finally, there are rocks that for when the magma cools and solidifies. This could be at the boundaries of the earth's molten core or in volcanic ejecta.
