What changes solid earth the most?
the rock cycle
Why does the rock cycle play a significant part in the history of the earth?
The rock cycle plays a significant part in the history of Earth, because of its orbit
In addition to plate tectonics what is the other main driving force of the rock cycle?
Water flow
If Earth did not have oceans how might this affect a the global biosphere and b the rock cycle?
If the Earth did not have oceans, there would be far fewer sedimentary rocks. This would make the entire rock cycle slower.
What is the name for the process of recycling materials that make up the Earth's crust and mantle?
Subduction is the process of materials moving back into the earth at the boundary of tectonic plates.
Are the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface?
The forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface are not the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface because the processes of the rock cycle beneath the earth surface and above the earth surface are diffferent.

What planets have a rock cycle?
Earth definitely does. Possibly Venus and Mars have (or have had) a rock cycle of some sort, too. However, Venus and Mars lack liquid water and tectonic plates, which are important in Earth's rock cycle. On Earth, the rock types involved in the cycle are igneous (of volcanic origin), sedimentary and metamorphic.
What is the series of processes on earth's surface that changes rock called?
rock cycle
How the earth recycls itself?
one way is the rock cycle and the other is the water cycle
How does the earth recycle itself?
one way is the rock cycle and the other is the water cycle
Why is the rock cycle is unique to the planet earth?
Because the rock cycle includes flowing water and no other planet has flowing water.
What process changes rock on earth's surface?
weathering,erosion, and deposition
How is rock on earth constantly changing?
By undergoing the gradual and continuous process of recycling of earth's matter, through the rock cycle.
Is the rock cycle a symbol of an ever changing earth?
Surely.
What is the Role of earth's tectonic system in the rock cycle?
gass
