Why is the rock cycle considered a closed system?
Since there are no net gains or losses, this cycle is known as a closed system. The rate at which water moves through the system will vary; some will be strrored for thousands of years in the deep oceans and ice caps. In contrast water remains only a short time in the atmosphere before returning to Earth as precipation.
What is the endpoint of a rock cycle?
the endpoint of a rock cycle is the metamorphic rock
Why does the uniformitarian rock cycle appear to mot be a true cycle?
it is a true cycle because it the rock cycle
A sentence for rock cycle?
A rock cycle is a model that shows the cycle of rocks from the formation to the breakdown and to the reformation. He used a rock cycle for his science project.

Differentiate open system to closed system in the ecosystem?
A closed system maintains itself on a limited amount of resources that are entrenched in that particular system. Energy can be exchanged with other systems, but not any actual matter. Therefore, some of what goes on in the environment is considered a closed system, but not a whole lot. Open systems are much more common. In an open system, necessary resources are renewed and exchanged on a regular basis. Many ecosystems, for example, rely on the sun to constantly import energy into their basic cycles. Then there's a limited amount of nutrients to go around -- such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous -- and they're constantly cycled around. Some common cycles include the hydrological cycle, rock cycle and the carbon cycle. http://curiosity.discovery.com/question/difference-closed-open-system
Is the nitrogen cycle a closed or open system?
Open. The phosphorous enters the system in mineral form (apatite is a type of rock that weathers into available mineral phosphorous) or from animal sources (guano, bone). Water will wash away phosphates which will cause a need for more. The availability of phosphate is a huge limiter in plant growth.
What is the endpoint of a rock cycle?
the endpoint of a rock cycle is the metamorphic rock
Does the rock cycle have to start from the sedimentary rock?

What does the rock cycle and water cycle have in common?
