Describe the rock cycle startiing with rocks at the surface of the Earth.
Rocks start from the surface are eventually pushed from the surface to beneath the crust due to erosion.
Pressure pushes on these rocks and changes them into sedimentary rocks.
Over time these rocks get pushed deeper into the earth where heat and pressure change them into metamorphic rocks.
More time passes and then rocks are expelled back onto earth surface through volcanoes.
