Rocks
... • Not only can rock be changed into metamorphic rock, such as from heat and pressure, but any rock can be changed into any of the other three rock types! All of this occurs during the rock cycle. • The rock cycle is a series of processes that occur on Earth’s surface and in the crust and mantle that ...
