What do you call the process that traces how rocks change from one type to another?

• Changes in Rocks

• Rock Cycle

• Water Cycle

Sedimentary rocks are formed when rock particles and other sediments​ ​ ​ ​ (a)  

• are compressed or cemented together.
• cool down and solidify.
• mix with other rocks.

Igneous rocks are formed when magma​ (a)  

• cools down and solidifies.
• is heated.
• is mixed with other rocks.

Metamorphic rocks are formed when​ existing rocks like sedimentary and igneous rocks​ ​ (a)  

• are subjected to heat and pressure.
• are cooled down
• are turning to sediments.

Can one type of rock change into another type of rock? How?
