The Rock Cycle is a beautiful process. Conversation of matter, off the top of my head, states that matter cannot be gained or lost, that all changes that happen to it in a closed system will always result in the same "amount" of matter. The Rock Cycle imitates this. There are three types of rocks: Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic. Igneous rocks are rocks cooled from molten magma/lava. Sedimentary rocks are deposited and cemented particles of rocks. Metamorphic rocks are the result of rocks under extreme pressure and heat. All rocks, will eventually, make other rocks. For example, molten lava cools to make an Igneous rock. It then gets weathered into small particles and carried away by an agent of erosion. The particles get deposited and buried along with other rocks. Over time, our rock particles get cemented into a Sedimentary rock. This process continues to happen in the area above it and soon, enough pressure from the rocks above it transform the rock into a Metamorphic rock. This rock we have now is completely different form the Igneous rock it started as, up to the point it does not seem like starting rock at all. From this point, the rock would be pushed down into the Earth's burning hot mantle and be melted into the magma that will soon start over as our original rock... beautiful indeed...
All rocks can become sediments and all rocks can become sedimentary
rocks.
It relates to it because the rock cycle does not create or destroy elements of matter or ROCK it just distributes it in a different form
it illustrates the processes that create and change rocks.
its weathered to small rock and mineral grain.
ANSWER: rock cycle
it does both, it destroys matter with erosion for room and creates igneous rock from the cooling of magma or lava.
this model of the rock cycle shows how rocks change from 1 form to another

This cycle is called Metamorphism.
The rock cycle explains how the three rock types are related to each other, and how processes change from one type to another over time.
it does both, it destroys matter with erosion for room and creates igneous rock from the cooling of magma or lava.
