Sedimentary rock formation

Metamorphic rock formation

The Rock Cycle

Magma is usually the start of this cycle. Igneous rock is formed when hot, melted magma rises from the earth's inner layers. This magma cools down once it nears the earth's crust. Heat and pressure when put on a igneous will result a transformation to a metamorphic rock. Melting of either igneous or metamorphic rocks will turn it back to magma. Weathering and erosion of either igneous or metamorphic rocks will result into sediments. These sediments when compressed form sedimentary rocks. Like igneous and metamorphic rock, erosion will result to sediments and melting into magma. Heat and

pressure of the sedimentary rock will result into a metamorphic rock.
