The Rock Cycle is a group of changes. Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. ... Or, igneous rock can form above ground, where the magma cools quickly.

The Tectonic Cycle is the process in which tectonic plates are created at rift zones where molten material pushes plates apart and destroyed at subduction zones as oceanic plates descend into the mantle. But only oceanic plates are subducted.

The sun, which drives the water cycle, heats water in the oceans. Some of it evaporates as vapor into the air. Ice and snow can sublimate directly into water vapor. ... Most precipitation falls back into the oceans or onto land, where, due to gravity, the precipitation flows over the ground as surface runoff.

The carbon cycle is the process in which carbon travels from the atmosphere into organisms and the Earth and then back into the atmosphere. Plants take carbon dioxide from the air and use it to make food. Animals then eat the food and carbon is stored in their bodies or released as CO2 through respiration


The nitrogen cycle involves three major steps: nitrogen fixation, nitrification, and denitrification. It is a cycle within the biosphere which involves the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. ... Instead, they depend on a process known as nitrogen fixation.

Phosphorus moves in a cycle through rocks, water, soil and sediments and organisms. Over time, rain and weathering cause rocks to release phosphate ions and other minerals. This inorganic phosphate is then distributed in soils and water. Plants take up inorganic phosphate from the soil.

An elderly client newly diagnosed with systolic hypertension asks her health care provider why this happens. which response is m
Roman55 [17]
The response that is most accurate is that; with age, your arteries lose their elasticity and are replaced with collagen, which makes your arteries stiffer. Systolic hypertension or pressure is an elevated systolic blood pressure. If the systolic blood pressure is elevated (above 140) with a normal (<90) diastolic blood pressure, it is called the isolated systolic hypertension.

What property of water explains why large bodies of water do not quickly fluctuate in temperature?
Olenka [21]
That is because water has a high heat capacity, meaning it can absorb large amounts of heat without the temperature being affected.

PLEASE I NEED HELP!!!
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Nonrenewable energy resources, like coal, nuclear, oil, and natural gas, are available in limited supplies. This is usually due to the long time it takes for them to be replenished. Renewable resources are replenished naturally and over relatively short periods of time.

Suppose molecules were unable to diffuse into and out of the cells. How might life be different if cells had to use active trans
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Cells would most probably not exist because these units of life metabolize energy molecules like glucose to harness their energy for the running of biochemical processes, like active transport, to support life. However, harnessing this energy from these energy molecules is NOT 100 percent efficient. A higher percentage of energy is lost as heat in the process.

Therefore if the cells were required to carry all molecules in and out of the cell, actively, including the energy molecules themselves (which is counterintuitive), this would require a lot of energy and would be unsustainable. This would be analogical to the counteracting and infinite loop of more fuel needed to carry the mass of the more fuel in space travel...
