The rock cycle is a basic concept in geology that describes the time-consuming transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. As the adjacent diagram illustrates, each of the types of rocks is altered or destroyed when it is forced out of its equilibrium conditions. An igneous rock such as basalt may break down and dissolve when exposed to the atmosphere, or melt as it is subducted under a continent. Due to the driving forces of the rock cycle, plate tectonics and the water cycle, rocks do not remain in equilibrium and are forced to change as they encounter new environments. The rock cycle is an illustration that explains how the three rock types are related to each other, and how processes change from one type to another over time. This cyclical aspect makes rock change a geologic cycle and, on planets containing life, a biogeochemical cycle.
Plate movements drive the rock cycle by pushing rocks back into the mantle, where they melt and become magna again. Plate movements also cause the folding, faulting and uplift of the crust that move rocks through the rock cycle.

Answer: the theory that all matter is made up of tiny indivisible particles (atoms). According to the modern version, the atoms of each element are effectively identical, but differ from those of other elements, and unite to form compounds in fixed proportions.
I think you almost got it.
At the top, the velocity only has horizontal component, so v=12 m/s is v_x, which is v*cos(theta), because v_x is constant, so the same when it was launched or now.
With the value of the initial speed (28 m/s, which is the total speed), you can set
v_x = v * cos( theta ) ---> 12 = 28*cos(theta) --> cos(theta)=12/28=3/7
or theta = 64.62 deg, it is D. Think about it. I hope you see it.
