The Rock cycle is considered an open system because it requires energy and matter inputs from external sources to drive the processes of rock formation, weathering, erosion, and deposition. These external sources include the energy from the sun, water, and other agents that play a role in the continuous transformation of rocks from one form to another.
What else can I help you with?
WHAT is the change of one type of rock into a new type of rock?
ANSWER: rock cycle
What is an non example for rock cycle?
An example that is not part of the rock cycle would be a volcanic eruption, where molten rock (magma) is expelled from Earth's interior onto its surface. This event is a singular occurrence and does not illustrate the continuous processes of rock formation, transformation, and recycling that make up the rock cycle.
Scientists use rock cycle to describe what process?
The rock cycle is how one type of rock can be changed into another type of rock.
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 happen to a metamorphic rock in the rock cycle?
it form
Is the water cycle open or closed system?
Closed System
What is the Role of earth's tectonic system in the rock cycle?
gass
Is the rock cycle a opened or closed system?
The rock cycle is a closed system because the total amount of rock material on Earth remains constant; it is continuously recycled and transformed into different rock types through processes like weathering, erosion, melting, and cooling.
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.
Is earth an open or closed system in terms of matter?
Earth is a closed system in terms of matter, meaning that no new matter is added from outside the system. Matter can cycle within the Earth's systems (such as the water cycle or carbon cycle), but it does not enter or leave the planet.
Why can the chemical composition of rock be changed during metamorphism?
It is an open system; atoms can move into and out of the rock.
Is a washing machine set on a twelve minute wash cycle an open or closed loop system?
typically open
Does the rock cycle have to start from the sedimentary rock?
No, the rock cycle does not have to start from the sedimentary rock
What does the rock cycle and water cycle have in common?
The rock cycle and water cycle both are natural.
What is the rock cycle including descriptions of how one type of rock can change into another type?
It is called the Rock Cycle.
What is beginning of the rock cycle?
there is no beginning or end of the rock cycle
What is is rock cycle?
The Rock Cycle contributes to the formation of rocks : ~ )
