Input: In designing the system, it will help to refer to the figure of the rock cycle shown below. In this figure, the boxes represent different kinds of rocks and the arrows represent processes that not only transport materials from one reservoir to another, they also transform the rocks, causing them to change their form. The rock cycle is the transformation of one type of rock to another through heat, pressure, weathering and erosion. First proposed by James Hutton in the late 18th century, the cycle is an ongoing... The rock cycle is the transformation of one type of rock to another through heat, pressure, weathering and erosion. Discover how igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks are created and how they can be recycled as part of the rock cycle in the earth's crust. Learn About Rock Cycle in the Earth's Crust Search the site GO Phosphorus is an essential element. It is a vital part of our energy supply and our DNA. Without it, we living organisms could not grow or function. The phosphorus cycle is a limited cycle that travels from rock to ground or water to producers to animals. Some of the phosphorus gets lost at the bottom of the ocean. Therefore, the phosphorus cycle is not a complete cycle. The Phosphorus Cycle - Definition Phosphorus is an essential element to all life. It is an important part of the ATP molecule that stores and gives every cell its energy.

The Rock Cycle We know that all three rock types can be turned into metamorphic rocks but all three types can also be changed through the rock cycle. All rocks can be weathered and eroded into sediments, which can then form sedimentary rock. rock cycle. noun. 1. another name for geological cycle. Contemporary definitions for rock cycle. noun. the process by which rocks are formed, altered, destroyed, and reformed by geological processes and which is recurrent, returning to a starting point. In a true cycle, all the phosphorus will continue to circulate through the cycle. However, in the actual phosphorus cycle, some of the phosphorus will get lost. The phosphorus that is returned to the ocean may sink to the bottom and become inaccessible and unusable. Rock Cycle Vocabulary. Lava: liquid rock at or above the Earth's surface; Magma: liquid rock below the Earth's surface; Erosion: the process of wearing away rocks; Sediment: particles of eroded rock or plant and animal debris; Learn More All about Rock Cycle.
