What is Rock Cycle?
There are 3 types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. They are continuously being recycled and can be transformed into one another. The rock cycle diagram explains these changes and the entire process. It involves processes of:
- weathering and erosion
- Melting
- Exposure to heat and pressure
- Cooling
Diagram of Rock Cycle
The diagram of rock cycle explains the processes by which the three types of rocks present in the earth’s crust–Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic – transform during Geologic times. Any type of rock can get transformed into any other type. The diagram of rock cycle class 7 shows that if the equilibrium phase of any rock gets disturbed, it transforms.
Below is a well-labeled diagram of the Rock Cycle:
