OK, that last person to answer your question is a complete idiot, first off, look at the category it's in! Science, Dating, Earth Sciences. Not Music.
by steps
There are seven steps in the rock cycle.
Igneous
Orogenesis and Metamorphism.
heat and pressure change the sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock
yes i think so
Its called a cycle because it has to go through steps to form the rocks or minerals. Just like a water cycle is called a water cycle because it also has to go through different stages or steps. Another reason why is because it doesn't have an end, it just keeps going round and round. They all need each other to create the other.because it just keeps on going and it doesent have a beginning it can start with any rock igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. the rock cycle is for example an igneous can turn into a metamorphic and that rock can turn into sedimentary and then that rock turns into any of the 3 but itself of course.
the endpoint of a rock cycle is the metamorphic rock
No, the rock cycle does not have to start from the sedimentary rock
The rock cycle and water cycle both are natural.
It is called the Rock Cycle.
they are not the same b/c the steps of the rock cycle that happen above the eartths surface require other things(evaporation etc.) than below the earths surface(heat, pressure, etc)
