Female Belly Fat: Stress, Menopause & Other Causes. If you are a female that stores fat primarily in your belly, an apple instead of a pear, then this blog is for you. And if you are not the type that likes all the science, then skip to the bottom and just read the âaction stepsâ section.
In short, the rock cycle is the name for the processes that forms and recycles the different types or rocks on our planet. Rocks begin the cycle as igneous rocks, erode into sedimentary rocks then change into metamorphic rocks, finally the rocks melt back to magma and start the process again.
The rock cycle helps to explain how rocks are formed from other rocks. The cycle is shown in the picture below from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). You will typically see a picture similar to this one when looking for diagrams of the rock cycle.gneous rocks form when magma or lava cools and hardens into a rock. Magma and lava are rocks that are so hot they move like a liquid. Magma is molten rock that is underground; lava is molten rock that is above the ground â and that is the only difference between them.
