The rock cycle is made up of granite breaking down to sandstone, which breaks down to mineral. Granite comes from volcanoes, sandstone comes from granite breaking down on beaches, and mineral comes from sand on the beaches washing out to sea. All have the same chemical composition, which is lava. I hope that helps you with all that homework, Iluvmystikal2001.
The three types of rocks that make up the rock cycle are igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. Sandstone can form in places where there is sand, reckon beaches and deserts. Mineral is formed in a deep nautical environment i reckon. You’d have to look up the chemical comp. i’m not sure, try wikipedia.
The three rock types are igneous (fire formed), metamorphic (heat and pressure deform rock) and sedimentary. Sandstone is fine grained sand broken down by water, wind, etc. and is composed of silicates and mineral is calcium carbonate derived from our oceans.
