The answer is : The rock cycle is driven by energy from the Sun as well as from the interior of Earth. The sun provides energy for surface processes such as weathering, erosion, and transport. This is the one of the major source of energy for the rock cycle. Weathering happens when there is a interaction with the air, water and organism which cause the rock to break down, and the pieces of rock are carried away by wind, moving water, etc. through erosion.
