What is the name for the process of recycling materials that make up the Earth's crust and mantle?
Subduction is the process of materials moving back into the earth at the boundary of tectonic plates.

the mantle is made up of solid hot rock.
What two factors in the rock cycle may change sandstone to quartzite?
Heat and pressure
What rock can flow like a liquid?
the rock that can flow like a liquid is a mantle because the mantle has two parts. The upper part is the solid rock. The solid rock of the mantle is part is the lithosphere. Below the solid rock, the mantle rock has the ability to flow like a liquid. Most of the mantle is made up of rock that can flow. Sanjida Ahmed 752/753

How do constructive and destructive forces contribute to thr rock cycle?
Constructive and destructive forces contribute to the rock cycle by changing the rocks structure.

What factors and processes can affect the pathway that igneous rock takes in the rock cycle?
Melting and cooling
When rock in the mantle cools does it sink or rise?
When rock in mantle cools, it sinks. When rock in mantle heats, it rises.
Is igneous rock in the mantle?
The mantle is composed of igneous rock.
What happen to the oldest rock on the ocean floor to continue the rock cycle?
Or they get subducted and re-enter the mantle or they get obducted onto continent (the latter being called an ophiolite).
