Introduction The rock cycle is an idealized cycle of processes undergone by rocks on the earths crust.

Sedimentary rocks Sedimentary rocks form when little grains of rock get super heated and are pressed together to make rock.

Igneous rocks Metamorphic rocks form when magma from volcanoes erupts and cools on the Earths surface. Depending on how fast the lava cooled is how big the crystals are.

Metamorphic rocks Metamorphic rocks form when other types of rocks undergo extreme heat, chemical changes or pressure.
