The Rock Cycle Explained - How Rocks Transform Over Time #3654908 (License: Personal Use)

This diagram depicts the continuous transformation of Earth’s rocks: igneous rocks form from cooled magma, weather into sediments that become sedimentary rocks, and under heat and pressure transform into metamorphic rocks-eventually melting back into magma. Arrows indicate directional processes such as weathering, compaction, melting, and crystallization, emphasizing the cyclical nature of geological change. The transparent background ensures adaptability for educational or digital use.

Used in earth science classrooms, geology websites, and educational platforms to teach fundamental concepts of geology; aligns with user intent to understand rock formation, classification, and Earth system dynamics.
