Answer:

Like most Earth materials, rocks are created and destroyed in cycles. The rock cycle is a model that describes the formation, breakdown, and reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic processes. All igneous rocks start out as melted rock, (magma) and then crystallize, or freeze.
