See the basics of geology - the three states of rock - where do they come from etc. (sedimentary, metaphoric rocks, igneous rock, what is the cycle)
No matter what you do with the rock, the matter will still exist, maybe in a different matter (a rock can obviously become liquified - see volcanoes, see underground, when it comes back onto ground, it will cool down and become solid)

Same could be presented on the cycle of water - water vaporizes from oceans, rains into rivers, gets back into oceans etc.
