What is the Role of earth's tectonic system in the rock cycle?
gass
What are the various types of geological cycles?
1. Tectonic (lithospheric) cycle. 2. Rock cycle. 3. Mineral (minerological) cycle.
What is a tectonic plate made of?
== == A tectonic plate is made of rock in various stages of the rock cycle, the vast majority being composed of igneous rock.
What material is a tectonic plate made of?
== == A tectonic plate is made of rock in various stages of the rock cycle, the vast majority being composed of igneous rock.
What phase of the rock cycle takes longer to produce results?

What are the 4 processes of rock cycle that change the surface of the earth?

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 difference between a tectonic hazard and a tectonic event?
a tectonic hazard is a disaster caused by the moving of tectonic plates.....anda tectonic activity is the moving of tectonic plates........
What two cycles determine the formation of mineral deposits?
Two cycles determine how mineral deposits are formed-the rock cycle and the tectonic cycle. Heat from the Earth's interior melts some of the rocks in the crust (the upper part of the lithosphere).
