The rock cycle is a cycle that rocks go through which involves melting, cooling, pressure, erosion, and other stages. Starting with a volcanic eruption, the lava turns into igneous rock, that can be melted into magma again, or can be crushed and pressed into other rocks beneath the crust to form metamorphic rock, or can be broken down by erosion and other factors. For the sake of it, let's say the rock got broken down, it turns into sediment that collects in areas and get layered and pressed, and layered, and pressed some more into a sedimentary rock. That rock can be broken down again, or melted, or pressed with heat and pressure. But let's say it went under the crust with other rocks, mixed with heat, pressure, and other types of rock to become metamorphic rock. Now let's say that metamorphic rock found it's way to a volcano, got melted, and erupted, and cooled to get back to a igneous rock. And the cycle never ends.
I believe the answer is C
The carnivore population would also increase because there would be a
larger food-source for carnivorous so more of them would be able to
survive.
The carnivore population would go up as well because they have more food
(herbivores) to eat. There would be more food to sustain the carnivore
population.
D. A producer. Plants go through photosynthesis which is basically turning light energy into energy for the plant.
