1. Weathering and erosion break down rocks into sediments.
2. Sediments are transported and deposited in layers, forming sedimentary rock through compaction and cementation.
3. Existing rocks (igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic) can be transformed into metamorphic rock under heat and pressure.
4. Any rock type can melt to form magma, which cools and solidifies to become igneous rock.
5. The cycle continues as rocks are uplifted, exposed, and subjected to weathering and erosion again.
