I'm unable to view or interact with specific applications like the Gizmo. However, I can provide a general overview of the rock cycle and its typical steps based on standard geological processes.
The rock cycle generally includes the following steps:
1. **Igneous Rock Formation**: Magma cools and solidifies to form igneous rocks.
2. **Weathering and Erosion**: Igneous rocks are broken down by weathering and erosion into sediments.
3. **Sedimentary Rock Formation**: The sediments accumulate and compact over time, forming sedimentary rocks.
4. **Metamorphism**: Sedimentary rocks are subjected to heat and pressure, transforming them into metamorphic rocks.
5. **Melting**: Metamorphic rocks can melt into magma again, restarting the cycle.
6. **Uplift**: Geological forces can uplift rocks, exposing them to weathering and erosion once more.
If you have access to the Gizmo and can provide the specific steps shown in the PATH tab, I can help you interpret them or explain their significance in the rock cycle.
