GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An event or series of events that causes changes in the geosphere, such as flowing water or flowing lava is called a geologic process.

Detailed explanation-2: -Beyond these parts, the geosphere is about processes. The processes of the rock cycle such as metamorphism, melting and solidification, weathering, erosion, deposition, and burial are responsible for the constant recycling of rocks on Earth between sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic states.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Flowing Lava Model was similar to flowing lava on Earth because flowing lava can carve a channel into Earth’s surface. The melted wax was like lava because it was liquid and hardens quickly. In the model, the wax flowed in a straight, narrow channel.

Detailed explanation-4: -Geo means “earth.” The Earth’s geosphere (sometimes called the lithosphere) is the portion of the earth that includes rocks and minerals. It starts at the ground and extends all the way down to Earth’s core. We rely on the geosphere to provide natural resources and a place to grow food.

Detailed explanation-5: -The rock cycle is a process that occurs in the geosphere. Portions of the crust are weathered and broken down into smaller pieces. Then erosion moves these tiny pieces, called sediments, away. After sediments are deposited in a place, they can be compressed to create larger rocks known as sedimentary rocks.
