Model sedimentation and fossil formation. Describe how earthquake waves and magma from volcanoes transfer energy from Earth's interior to the surface. Model how small changes over time add up to major changes to Earth s surface. Metamorphic rock cycle igneous sedimentation Science Benchmark Movement involves one form of energy being transformed into another form. Energy has the potential to exert a force over a distance.
Waves transfer energy such as sound, heat, light, and earthquakes, through different mediums.
Energy is classified as either kinetic or potential energy. Every object exerts a gravitational force on every other object. The distance between objects and mass of the objects determine the force of gravity between them. This force is difficult to measure unless one of the objects has a very large mass. Unbalanced forces cause change in the motion of objects, while balanced forces do not.
