The Rock Cycle
All three of the rock types can be turned into any of the other types of rocks through
natural processes. This is referred to as the rock cycle. Igneous can become metamorphic,
sedimentary can become igneous, metamorphic can become igneous, etc. The rock cycle is a
slow process because the process involved in weathering and erosion, depositing, burying
sediments, and melting rock are slow. Therefore, the processes involved in the rock cycle may
take millions, or even billions of years.
