Lucky Koritela #23 The Rock Cycle The rock cycle begins when Earth’s plates shift around leaving gaps in between them making a volcano. The magma under Earth’s crust come through the gap and spill out of the volcano. Then the magma (lava) cools down and hardens into igneous rock. As time passes the igneous rock weathers (using substances such as water) away into little chips. After getting smaller‚ erosion (using elements such as wind) transports the little rocks to different places. The deposition

matter and energy cycle throughout systems. The cycling throughout networks can be explained by the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy‚ which states that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed‚ only changed. This cycle applies to many things‚ such as energy cycling through a food web‚ carbon traveling through the biosphere in the carbon cycle‚ and the movement of energy and materials that are used during photosynthesis and cellular respiration. The cycling of matter and energy is essential
