Generation

The rock cycle describes how rocks continuously transform between three main types: igneous (formed from cooled magma/lava), sedimentary (formed from compressed sediments), and metamorphic (formed when existing rocks are altered by heat and pressure). Rocks break down through weathering and erosion, accumulate as sediments, can be buried and lithified into sedimentary rock, transformed by heat/pressure into metamorphic rock, or melted into magma that cools into igneous rock. While there's no single formula for the entire cycle, the **pressure-temperature relationship** is key: **P = ρgh** (pressure = density × gravity × depth), which helps determine whether rocks will melt, metamorphose, or remain stable. This cycle operates over millions of years and is driven by Earth's internal heat and plate tectonics.
