The Rock Cycle
The Rock Cycle
MS-ESS2-1: Develop a model to describe the cycling of Earth's materials and the flow of energy that drives this process.
I can explain how Earth's systems work together to move matter and energy around our planet.
Earth is made up of interacting systems.
Matter moves continuously through Earth's systems.
Energy from the Sun and Earth's interior drives these processes.
Earth's systems are always changing.
Heat from Earth's interior drives processes that can melt rock and create volcanoes and new land.
The rocks around you are constantly being formed, broken down, and changed through Earth's cycling of materials.
