The Rock Cycle

Rocks

3 Types of Rocks Sedimentary Sedimentary Metamorphic Metamorphic Igneous Igneous What type of rock can a sedimentary rock turn into? What type of rock can a metamorphic rock turn into? What type of rock can an igneous rock turn into? What forces are involved in these changes?

The Forces That Drive the Rock Cycle There are many processes in the rock cycle which are continually at work, changing and recreating rocks. These processes include: There are many processes in the rock cycle which are continually at work, changing and recreating rocks. These processes include: weathering and erosion weathering and erosion compaction and cementation compaction and cementation melting melting cooling and crystallization of magma cooling and crystallization of magma heat and pressure heat and pressure
