Yis a fundamental concept in geology that describes the dynamic transitions through geological time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. YIgneous rocks are made from lava or magma. Metamorphic rocks are changed by great heat and / or pressure deep beneath the earth's surface.

dynamic transitions through geological time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous V Igneous rocks are made from lava or magma. Lava and magma are made of hot, melted minerals. V Lava is found on or near the Earth's surface. Magma is found far beneath the Earth's surface. Vhe sediments can even be made from seashells and bodies of plants and animals. VFossils are found in sedimentary rocks. VMetamorphic rocks are made from older rocks, either igneous or sedimentary. Vhese rocks are changed by great heat and/or pressure deep beneath the earth's surface. V he rock cycle was a part of Hutton's § and his famous quote:
