The Rock Cycle Explained: How Rocks Transform Over Time #3654899 (License: Personal Use)

This infographic depicts the continuous geological process where magma cools to form igneous rock, which undergoes weathering and erosion into sediments. These sediments are compacted and cemented into sedimentary rock, or subjected to heat and pressure to become metamorphic rock-both of which can melt back into magma. Arrows indicate key transformation pathways driven by temperature, pressure, and surface processes.
