What are the processes involved in the rock cycle as illustrated in the image?
Understand the Problem
The question is likely asking about the rock cycle and the processes involved in the formation of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. The image illustrates the transitions and transformations between these types of rocks along with relevant geological processes.
Answer
Melting, cooling, weathering and erosion, compaction and cementation, heat and pressure.
The processes illustrated in the rock cycle image are melting, cooling, weathering and erosion, compaction and cementation, and heat and pressure.
Answer for screen readers
The processes illustrated in the rock cycle image are melting, cooling, weathering and erosion, compaction and cementation, and heat and pressure.
More Information
The rock cycle illustrates how rocks transform between igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic forms through geological processes over time.
Tips
A common mistake is neglecting the continuous nature of the cycle, where any rock type can transform directly to any other under the right conditions.
