True or False: Igneous Rocks can change into metamorphic rocks.
True
A sedimentary rock can change during the rock cycle process. True or False.
True- the cycle is continuous
Minerals can be added or taken away due to heat and pressure transformation. True or False
True
The rock cycle is not continous. True or false.
False
This breaks down rock into smaller pieces
