Answer:

The Rock Cycle is Earth's great recycling process where igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can all be derived from and form one another.Older rocks are destroyed by weathering processes and the remains are recycled into new rocks. This cycle from old rocks to new rocks is called the rock cycle. The interaction between the tectonic and the hydrologic systems causes constant recycling of the materials of the Earth's crust.
