Question

Explain the rock cycle of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks?

Answer 1

Igneous - A rock formed by the cooling and crystallization of magma (molten rock) at or below the Earth's surface. Sedimentary - A rock formed as a result of the weathering process, either by compaction and cementation of rock mineral fragments, or the precipitation of dissolved minerals.

Answer 2

Rocks and debris continue to pile in layers until pressure and heat changes the underlying layers to form metamorphic rocks.

Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock.

Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock.
