What do you mean by a rock cycle?

Solution

Rock cycle is the constant and continuous process by which rocks are created, go through change of form, altered, destroyed, and then formed back as rock.
Due to plate tectonics, water cycle and other forces causing erosion, rocks do not remain in equilibrium and keep changing with changes in conditions surrounding them.
