How does a Metamorphic Rock become a Sedimentary Rock?
Weathering breaks down the Metamorphic Rock which will become sediments. The sediments will be glued together and pushed down by cementation and compaction. This is how they will become Sedimentary Rocks.
How does magma change into a Metamorphic Rock?
Magma comes out when the volcano erupts and as the magma cools down, it will become lava (this process is called crystallization). By pressure and heat the Igneous Rock will be pushed down and turn into Metamorphic rock.
Carbon Cycle
How does a consumer become a fossil fuel?
When the animals die, their dead body will be decomposed by decomposers and get into the ground. After a very long time fossils will become fossil fuels.
How can fossil fuel be used in photosynthesis?
When the fossil fuels are burned by factories and then CO2 will come out in process of CO2 Emissions, the plants will take up carbon dioxide for the photosynthesis.
Water Cycle
How does lake water (liquid) turn into a cloud?
The lake evaporates by sunlight (evaporation) and the visible water turn into water vapors. By this, the water vapor is collected together, in the process of condensation, which will create clouds.
How can a cloud turn into a groundwater?
From the cloud, rain falls down (precipitation), which will run off from the mountains and to the lower level of Earth, where by infiltration water will sink into the ground, which will become groundwater.
Essential Questions
Hydrosphere is connected to the Water Cycle, by almost everything, because it's basically the "Hydro cycle". The water on Earth, which is the main part of the cycle takes up a lot of space on Earth. Hydrosphere is connected to the Rock Cycle by weathering. For example when the the bodies of water, like ocean, breaks down the rock to small pieces over many years. Hydrosphere is connected to the Carbon Cycle when the rain falls, precipitation, down and the plants take up the water.
Lithosphere is connected to the Water Cycle, by the groundwater, because that's where it's located. Lithosphere is connected to the Rock Cycle by everything that is underground a rock, also the magma too and where the rock is pushed down by pressure, deeper in the ground. Lithosphere is connected to the Carbon Cycle, by fossils, because that's where they are located.
Atmosphere is connected to the Water Cycle by condensation because in the atmosphere the clouds are formed by water vapors. Atmosphere is connected to the Rock Cycle by erosion, because it carries away little sediments in the air to another place. Atmosphere is connected to the Carbon Cycle by CO2 Emission, when fossil fuel is burned and CO2 is getting released to the air.
Biosphere is connected to the Water Cycle by plant uptake, because plants take up water and plants are living things. Between biosphere and Rock Cycle, there is no real connection. Biosphere is connected to the Carbon Cycle by almost everything, because there are producers, consumers, and decomposers who are living and doing their own job in the Carbon Cycle.
The three cycles are connected to each other by a lot of processes. For example Water Cycle and Rock Cycle is connected by weathering, because weathering is formed in the Water Cycle and in the Rock Cycle weathering breaks down rocks into sediments. The Water Cycle gives water to living things that are involved in the Carbon Cycle, and in Carbon Cycle the fossils go underground where they are built into rocks, which belong to the Rock Cycle.
