Weathering, erosion, and deposistion are necessary processes in the rock cycle because:
Explanation:
First, start with igneous rocks. magma erupts (Extrusive igneous rocks) or solidifies in the sub-surface of the earth (Intrusive igneous rock). when they are exposed Weathering and erosion occur which is a slow breakdown of rock through the wind, water, or other processes. The weathered pieces (sediments) move to other places by wind or water and get deposited someplace else. When there are enough sediments and there is overburden pressure on these sediments, they become a sedimentary rock. Due to overburden pressure, they become metamorphic rocks. now the thing to understand here is that when metamorphic rocks are exposed, they too undergo weathering and erosion and their pieces also become sedimentary rocks.
Entropy change is determined by the change in the micro-states of a system. As we know that the micro-states are the same as measure of disorderness between initial and final states, that's the the amount of change in micro-states determine how much of entropy has changed in the system.
