It is a closed system, meaning that the total amount of rock on Earth does not change. However, the type of rock that exists at any given time can change as rocks are recycled through the cycle.<\/p>\n<p>The rock cycle is driven by four main processes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Weathering:<\/strong> This is the process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by the action of wind, water, ice, and other natural forces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Erosion:<\/strong> This is the process by which weathered rock material is transported from one place to another.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deposition:<\/strong> This is the process by which eroded rock material is deposited in another location.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lithification:<\/strong> This is the process by which <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n          <div class=\"telegram-channel-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/pscnotes2025\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"telegram-channel-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"telegram-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 496 512\">\r\n                    <path fill=\"white\" d=\"M248,8C111,8,0,119,0,256s111,248,248,248s248-111,248-248S385,8,248,8z M362,177L320,367c-3,14-10,18-20,14l-56-41l-27,26 c-3,3-5,5-10,5l4-63L323,196c5-5-1-7-8-3l-98,62l-42-13c-9-3-10-9,2-14l162-63C351,160,365,164,362,177z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Join Our Telegram Channel\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div>           <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> sediment is compacted and cemented together to form rock.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The rock cycle can be divided into three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Igneous rocks<\/strong> are formed when magma or lava cools and solidifies.
