Understanding the Intricacies of the Rock Cycle

Explore the fascinating world of the rock cycle, a dynamic process that involves various key stages such as erosion, sedimentation, metamorphism, and volcanic activities. It all begins with weathering, where rocks are broken down into sediments through natural agents like rain, wind, and ice. These sediments then undergo deposition and lithification to form sedimentary rocks. When subjected to intense heat and pressure, these rocks transform into metamorphic rocks. The cycle further progresses as these rocks melt into magma due to volcanic eruptions, leading to the formation of igneous rocks through crystallization. The continuous movement of rocks through uplift, subduction, and erosion reflects the cyclical nature of Earth's geological processes.
