1) Through erosion, rocks break down into particulates 2) Particulates are carried by wind and water and gravity and deposited, as sediment, for example. 3) The deposits sink deep into ground, where heat and pressure form new rock from the particulates, thus completing the rock cycle.

The rock cycle is the process by which one type of rock (Igneous - forming from a volcanic eruption, Sedimentary - forming from sediment and erosion, and Metamorphic - forming from heat and pressure) becomes another. Example: Igneous rock forms from cooling lava, gets eroded by a river to form sedimentary, and then after an fissure in the earth buries it deep in the earth, becomes metamorphic by undergoing heat and pressure.
Hope that helps!

Rocks are eroded by wind, and water.
Rock particles settle and become sedimentary rock.
Rock is compressed under ground and becomes metamorphic.
Rock that is under ground near volcanoes is melted into magma and comes out of volcanoes as lava.Igneous rock
All types of rock undergo erosion again

The rock cycle shows how rocks go from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic, but the order doesn't matter. Any type of rock can turn into any other type of rock.

the Rock is the breaking down of rocks from one kind to another. it is a never ending process,that is it neither has an end nor a beginning

It is the various stages all music goes through, knowing that eventually no matter how punk, rap, heavy metal, etc. we go for, it will always return to the beat of Elvis.
