What is the rock cycle order?

Rock cycle order:

  • Igneous Rocks-when the molten magma cools; it solidifies to become igneous rock.
  • Sedimentary Rocks- igneous rocks are broken down into small particles that are transported and deposited to form sedimentary rocks.
  • Metamorphic Rocks-  igneous and sedimentary rocks are subjected to heat and pressure they change into metamorphic rocks.
  • The metamorphic rocks which are still under great heat and pressure melt down to form molten magma. This molten magma again can cool down and solidify into igneous rocks
