Earth Cycle Project: Final Assessment

Part I
Rock Cycle 
1. How does a metamorphic rock become a sedimentary rock ?
First weathering breaks down the rocks changes to sediments.Next through  compaction and cementation  sediments sticks together then became sedimentary rock.
2. How does magma change into a metamorphic rock?
Magma/ Lava  through  crystallization changes to Igneous rock then under heat and pressure changes into a metamorphic rock.

Carbon Cycle  
3.How does a consumer become a fossil fuel?
When consumer dies decomposers breaks down the consumers in process decomposition, later it changes to fossils.
4.How can fossil fuel be used in photosynthesis?
It starts with consumption when factories uses fossil fuel and releases CO2  Emission into the air. then producers through absorption takes CO2 and gives O2 to atmosphere.

Water Cycle  

5.How does lake water (liquid ) turn into a cloud?
The sunlight heats the lakes and plants then it will evaporation/ transportation which water vapors makes condensation when water vapors comes together and turns to cloud. 
6.How can a cloud turn into groundwater?
From cloud it will start with precipitation which rain, snow, hail. from that run-off will comes from mountains then after infiltration water goes to underground turn into groundwater.

Part II

Essential questions: Answers 
1.The rock Cycles is litosphere because litosphere is ground and in rock cycle all processes happens underground, in water cycle there is ground water in litosphere and in carbon cycle fossil fuels made in litosphere . The atmosphere is the air and in the water cycle water vapors goes to the atmosphere then makes cloud, during the volcanic eruption CO2 releases into atmosphere. The biosphere is all the living things and in carbon cycle plants absorbs the CO2, in water cycle plants transpiration, and in rock cycle sedimentary rocks made from consumers when they dies through the decomposition by decomposers

Short answer:

2.When lava comes out it will cause volcanic eruption spreading CO2 producers absorbs the CO2 into O2 by photosynthesis which process need plant uptake gets water from groundwater for photosythesis.
