Nature of Rocks:
(i) Have generally uniform mineral composition
(ii) Can be light coloured (gnarth) a dark coloured (by gravity)
(iii) May have small grains or large grains depending on rate of cooling of magma/lava
(i) Comprising various different minerals found
(i) Show banding effect - alternate layers of minerals
(ii) Show lineation & foliation characteristics
Origin:
Formation processes:
Hence, rock cycle occurs in leading to creation, destruction & recreation of rocks.
Conclusion
Hence, rock cycle occurs in leading to creation, destruction & recreation of rocks.
