Rock Cycle

Rock Cycle is the process in which rock slowly changes or transform from one rock to another rock. The pressure inside the earth pushes magma and liquid comes out of the volcano as lava.Then lava cools down and by cooling it becomes Igneous rock. By weathering and erosion, the rock break down into small sediments. The sediments compacted together and by cementation they stick to each other like a glue and forms a Sedimentary rock. Rock changes to metamorphic rock by temperature and the presence of heat and pressure.This process forms a Metamorphic rock. The Metamorphic rock keep going down and heat melts Metamorphic rock into magma again. The rock cycle keeps working like this through different processes.
