Answer:

Over millenia, these rocks get pushed back into the Earth's mantle, and get pushed into a volcano heating it up and turning it into magma.

Step-by-step explanation:

Magma is molten rock, meaning existing rocks must be getting melted, the way the melting happens is by the rocks getting pushed into the ground by landforms and penetrating the mantle, this is how the cycle starts all over again.
