The rock cycle describes the processes through which rocks transform between three main types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of sediments, which can be from the weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks or from the accumulation of organic materials. Metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of pre-existing rocks due to heat, pressure, or chemical processes. These rocks can then undergo further weathering, erosion, melting, or metamorphism, continuing the cycle.
