The Rock Cycle & Classification of Rocks The rock cycle is the formation‚ breakdown and reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary‚ igneous‚ and metamorphic processes. The rock cycle is an illustration that is used to describe how the three rock types are related and how Earth processes change a rock from one type to another over time. Each group contains a collection of rock types that differ from each other on the basis of the size‚ shape and arrangement of mineral grains. Due to the driving

Write a 500- to 750-word explanation regarding the role of plate tectonics in the origin of igneous rocks. To begin‚ igneous rocks come from magma‚ and magma is related to plate tectonics. Magmas differ in composition‚ temperature and viscosity. This is a major identifier of igneous rocks‚ is that they were once molten and magma Plate tectonics are the theory that the Earth’s lithosphere‚ which is the outer rigid shell is composed of several different pieces‚ or “plates” that float on a ductile
