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 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
What do you call space rock that earth pulls into its atmosphere?
meteor
In addition to plate tectonics what is the other main driving force of the rock cycle?
Water flow

Image the temperature inside earth was no longer hot how might this affect the rock cycle?
Rocks and the Rock Cycle. ROCKS: Rocks, rocks, rocks. Weathering is all about rocks.
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 changes solid earth the most?
the rock cycle
What powers earth's rock cycle?
Heat from the Earth's core which drives lithospheric plate movements, and provides a magnetosphere which allows an atmosphere to exist. english not random stuff please
Does Global Warming affect the temperature of the Earth's Mantle?
No. The global warming affect only involves the atmosphere. Earth's mantle generates it's own heart via the slow decay of radioisotopes, and is well insulated from the cooler atmosphere by earth's oceans and crustal rock. In general, heat dissipates, so the mantle would not gain heat from the much cooler atmosphere.
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.
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
How human activities affect rock cycle?
cyjvi
What is the series of processes on earth's surface that changes rock called?
rock cycle
Can humans activivities affect the rock cyrcle?
Human activities influence different factors that affect the rock cycle, for example, soil erosion and weathering. Human activity such as mining affects rocks' weathering, affecting the rock cycle. Other human activities such as farming affect soil erosion, and soil erosion is a factor that affects the rock cycle.
How the earth recycls itself?
one way is the rock cycle and the other is the water cycle
