The diagram depicts the interaction between various types of rocks. Overall, there are 4 forms of rocks involved in this cycle, all of which are correlated to each other.
Initially, sedimentary rocks are the result of different types of land alterations like deposition and compaction. Under thermal, physical, and chemical effects, the rock is transformed into metamorphic rock. This rock classification involves the activity of pressure and heat, so its shape and size depend on these factors. Afterward, the rock is either affected by weather effects and erosion to become its former type, sedimentary rock or melts in order to create magma.
Magma, commonly found in volcanoes and underground, is then solidified, turning itself into igneous rock. Subsequently, this rock category can be transformed into 3 others states in 3 ways. Similar to metamorphic rock, the igneous rock becomes magma through the melting process. Meanwhile, if the rock is exposed to high temperature, pressure, and chemical reactions, it will be converted into metaphoric rock. Being influenced by weather and gradual disintegration, igneous rock can also become sedimentary rock, which repeats the cycle.
