GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The three processes that change one rock to another are crystallization, metamorphism, and erosion and sedimentation. Any rock can transform into any other rock by passing through one or more of these processes. This creates the rock cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The rock cycle is a series of processes that create and transform the types of rocks in Earth’s crust.

Detailed explanation-3: -Process of Metamorphism: Pressure or temperature can even change previously metamorphosed rocks into new types. Metamorphic rocks are often squished, smeared out, and folded. Despite these uncomfortable conditions, metamorphic rocks do not get hot enough to melt, or they would become igneous rocks!

Detailed explanation-4: -The rock cycle – a continuous process by which rocks are created, changed from one form to another, destroyed, and then formed again.
