Metamorphism involves the transformation of existing rock types (igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks) into metamorphic rocks by heat, pressure, or chemically active fluids. Solidification is the cooling and hardening of molten rock (magma or lava) to form igneous rocks. Weathering, erosion, deposition, melting, and uplift are also crucial processes in the rock cycle, facilitating the transformation and movement of rock material between the different types and locations.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which of the following processes is\/are part of the Rock Cycle? 1.
