15. Describe how each type of rock changes as it moves through the rock cycle,
listing the process(es) that have to take place to make the change.
Melting & cooling forms igneous rocks; weathering forms sediment; WEDCC
(weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction & cementation) forms
sedimentary rock; heat & pressure forms metamorphic rocks.
