The rock cycle is inextricably linked not only toplate tectonics, but to other Earth cycles as well.Weathering,erosion, deposition, and cementation ofsedimentsall require the presence of water, which moves in and out of contact with rocks through the hydrologic cycle; thus weathering happens much...
The Rock Cycle describes the process the earth uses to recycle rocks. Yes, even rocks are recycled.

The rock cycle is particularly active where tectonic plates meet. The cycle begins with magma, fluid or mushy hot rock beneath the Earth's surface, which cools and crystallizes to form igneous rocks. These rocks can return to their roots as magma by 'subduction', being dragged back down ...

rock types can be turned into metamorphic rocks but all three types can also be changed through therock cycle. All rocks can be weathered and eroded into sediments, which can then form sedimentary rock. Rocks can also be completely melted into magma and become reincarnated as igneous rock....
The Rock Cycle Learning objectives To understand that Sedimentary, Igneous and Metamorphic rocks are constantly being changed from one form into another by natural processes.
The last giant impact on Earth is thought to have formed the Moon1. The timing of this event can be determined by dating the different rocks assumed to have crystallized from the lunar magma ocean (LMO). This has led to a wide range of estimates for the
