Provide a detailed description and discussion of the Rock Cycle. Provide specific examples of
each of the three rock families. What will be an ideal response?

within the Rock Cycle. For example, metamorphic rocks may be uplifted and weathered to form
sediments and sedimentary rocks. The term “lithification” also should be part of the discussion.
