What are products of the rocks cycle? The rock cycle is a model that describes the formation, breakdown, and reformation of a rock. Like most Earth materials, rocks are created and destroyed in cycles. A mineral is defined as a naturally occurring, crystalline solid of definite chemical composition and a characteristic crystal structure.

What causes a Earhquake?
What is the immediate cause of most shallow earthquakes is the sudden release of stress along a fault, or fracture in the earth's crust, resulting in movement of the opposing blocks of rock past one another.
