The Ever-Changing Rock Cycle: From Igneous to Metamorphic and Beyond

Explore the fascinating world of the rock cycle, where igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks continuously transform. Understand how Earth's elements like ice, wind, and water break down rocks and how pressure and heat can create new forms. Discover the historical significance of this knowledge, attributed to James Hutton, who shattered the long-held belief that rocks have a single, unchanging identity. The rock cycle teaches us about the dynamic nature of our planet—nothing remains the same. Join us in uncovering the mysteries of rock transformation!
