The rock cycle describes the processes by which the three major types of rocks igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary change from one to the other. The internal heat of the Earth, pressure from tectonic processes, and the effects of water, wind, gravity, and biological (including human) activities all contribute to the formation, movement, and transformation of rocks. The texture, structure, and composition of a rock indicate the conditions under which it formed and reveal information about the Earth's history.
