What is the rock cycle including descriptions of how one type of rock can change into another type?
It is called the Rock Cycle.
Is organic rock a type of sedimentary rock?
ORGANIC SEDIMENTARY ROCK`s : Is a type of sedimentary rock because sedimentary rock has three types of sedimentary rock called clastic , chemical , and organic sedimentary rock so yes ORGANIC SEDIMENTARY ROCK is a type of sedimentary rock..........................................
What type of rock is selenite?
selenite is sedimentary. But selenite is really a mineral not a rock. It can be found in any rock type
What type of rock is the Mushroom Rock?
it is a minerals
What is the main geologic feature for which Siccar Point in Scotland is famous?
Siccar Point in Scotland is famous for its unique rock formations that clearly display Hutton's Unconformity, which is a clear geological example of the concept of deep time and the principles of uniformitarianism. This site played a pivotal role in the development of modern geology by demonstrating the vast timescales over which Earth's surface has been shaped.
Is Siccar Point an igneous sedimentary or metamorphic rock?
Sedimentary rocks (most famously those forming Hutton's unconformity formed by steeply dipping tectonically disturbed Silurian greywackes overlain by Devonian sandstones).
Rock begins to melt when?
rock reaches its melting point, which varies based on the type of rock and its composition. The melting point of most rocks is typically between 600°C to 1400°C. When the rock is exposed to temperatures above its melting point, the heat causes the mineral crystals within the rock to break down and transform into molten liquid.
Scientists use rock cycle to describe what process?
The rock cycle is how one type of rock can be changed into another type of rock.

What type of a rock?
Igneus is a type of rock. Metamorphic, too. Sedimentary.
Why would you expect a metamorphic rock to form at a temperature lower then the melting point of rock?
Metamorphic rocks can form at temperatures lower than the melting point of rock because they do not actually melt during the process. Instead, they recrystallize under high pressure and temperature conditions, causing changes in mineral composition and texture. This process allows metamorphic rocks to form without reaching the point of melting.
