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.

That's called "refraction".
Answer:
Explanation:
According to first law of thermodynamics:
∆U= q + w
= 10kj+(-70kJ)
-60kJ
, w = + 70 kJ
(work done on the system is positive)
q = -10kJ ( heat is given out, so negative)
∆U = -10 + (+70) = +60 kJ
Thus, the internal energy of the system decreases by 60 kJ.
Answer: Things continue doing what they are doing unless a force is applied to it. Objects have a natural tendency to resist change. This is INERTIA. Heavier objects (objects with more mass) are more difficult to move and stop. Heavier objects (greater mass) resist change more than lighter objects, so true
Explanation:
Pushing a bicycle or a Cadillac, or stopping them once moving. The more massive the object (more inertia) the harder it is to start or stop. The Cadillac has more of a tendency to stay stationary (or continue moving), and resist a change in motion than a bicycle.
Answer:
The acceleration of the electron is 1.457 x 10¹⁵ m/s².
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the emitted electron, u = 1.5 x 10⁵ m/s
distance traveled by the electron, d = 0.01 m
final velocity of the electron, v = 5.4 x 10⁶ m/s
The acceleration of the electron is calculated as;
v² = u² + 2ad
(5.4 x 10⁶)² = (1.5 x 10⁵)² + (2 x 0.01)a
(2 x 0.01)a = (5.4 x 10⁶)² - (1.5 x 10⁵)²
(2 x 0.01)a = 2.91375 x 10¹³
Therefore, the acceleration of the electron is 1.457 x 10¹⁵ m/s².
