Earth Processes: Energy and Matter Cycling

Ever wonder how mountains rise, rivers carve landscapes, and fossils form perfectly in rocks? These phenomena are driven by the flow of energy and cycles of matter, primarily the rock and water cycles. Powered by the Sun and Earth’s hot interior, these cycles shape Earth’s surface through processes like convection currents in the mantle, weathering, erosion, and deposition. The water cycle moves water through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, supporting life and climate. The rock cycle transforms rocks through heat, pressure, and chemical changes. Together, these cycles sustain life and constantly reshape our dynamic planet.
