Rocks breaking down.One type is mechanical energy.

One type of energy that goes through the rock cycle is chemical energy.

energy from the Sun moves the wind and water at the Earth’s surface with enough force to break rocks apart into sand

An example of an energy flowing through rock is chemical energy. One type is when sedimentary rock gets hot by heat and turns into igneous rock.

heat and precher

River,oceans,rain and wind flow through the rock cycle. Heat can make rocks turn into other rocks.

Grace D said...

Rivers, oceans, winds, and rain runoff all have the ability to carry the particles washed off of eroding rocks.

Ian L said...

Solar energy is a example of energy flowing through a rock. Here is all of the energies that are in the rock cycle. Radioactive decay, solar energy , pressure and heat, gravity and chemical energy.
Those are the energies that help make rocks change form.

Parker McM said...

An energy that could be flowing through the rock cycle can be Magma.

Brianna M. said...

One example of energy is heat energy. Igneous rocks can turn into metamorphic rocks by heat and pressure being applied to it.


I used my class notes in my science journal, and https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=1&ie=UTF-8#q=how%20does%20one%20rock%20turn%20into%20another%20rock&es_th=1

which is a google image.

an example of energy moving through rock is heat. sedimentary rock change in to igneous when the heat hits the sedimentary.

When Magma cools down it forms into a rock. The types of energy is Radioactive,Solar Energy,Decay,Pressure,Heat,and Chemical Energy.

An example is mechanical energy. one example is when the rock melts and cools into a different form of rock.

Chemical will flow throw the rock. Heat and solar energy it makes the rock different

Gravity will change the rock and go through it

One type of energy is called pressure, when one rock is pressed together with other rocks. Which is a chemical energy.

An example of an energy flowing through the rock cycle is solar energy. There are many energy's in the rock cycle Solar Energy, Gravity, Chemical energy, Radioactive decay , pressure and heat. A rock can reform into another type of rock by any of the reason just listed. There are three types of rock Sedimentary, Igneous and Metamorphic. Any rock can be categorized as one of those three rocks.

Heat is an example of energy flowing through the rock cycle. Water, pressure, heat, and cool are types of energy, and how one rock may be formed into another.

There are numerous cycles that occur on the earth.

An example of how energy flows through the rock cycle is solar energy because it makes us wind, rain, Ice Wedging, And Glaciers.

Brendan Dunphy said...

An example of one type of energy is heat and gravity. This happens after a sediment rock forms once a sedimentary rock form it gets forced under ground. The rock then gets induced with extreme heat and pressure. This is when the sedimentary rocks turn into metamorphic rock. That is where heat and pressure come in. Then the rock cycle can continue by rock turning into magma. This magma then cools to form igneous rock.

Over many thousands of years, energy from the Sun moves the wind and water at the Earth’s surface with enough force to break rocks apart into sand and other types of sediment.

( Note to Mr. Ruby; That was the dance ever. DROP IT, MR. RUBY! Haha!)

So, energy goes through rocks is mechanical energy.. Solar energy.. Chemical energy.. TONS OF ENERGYS! Sadly, I don't have enough energy to wake up without a fight.
So, any rock can turn into another rock. So, A sedimentary rock can be a igneous rock! See kids? You can become ANYTHING you want! A office man, a science guy, a teacher... A rockstar..

An example of energy flowing threw the rock cycle is solar energy solar energy is a energy that flows threw the rock cycle a rock can become another rock because of solar energy

Nikki Newcomb said...

Heat is something that runs through the rock cycle. Solar energy can make rocksform through other rocks.

Raven The Ninja said...

a rock can be formed by Weathering such as Mechanical and Chemical

Anonymous said...

One example of energy flowing through the rock cycles is heat. One way that one rock can become another rock is if there was a volcanic eruption rocks will get turned into magma and combined with another rock then dry together.

Tristin R said...

An example of flowing energy in the rock cycle is Solar Energy,Gravity,and sometimes radioactive decay too. A rock can form into another rock by natural acids and radioactive decay or Chemical energy because the chemicals break down the rock and change their minerals into different ones which changes the rock and its size too.

Anonymous said...

A example of this is heat engrey melting the rock into a diffrent form p.s CATFISH

COLBY said...

A type of energy that passes through a rock and turns into many other things. Igneous rock turns into lava by weathering. there many eneries from this and there a lot to name.

Brian Wakem said...

The types of energy that flows through the rock cycle that I know of are solar, wind pressure. a rock can become another one by the energy listed above.

thomas said...

like a rock falling on another is gravity energy.theres chemical energy,heat,pressure,solar and radioactive decay. maybe turning into lava then reforming into a new rock.

Radioactive decay, because it's radioooactive, radioooactive.

solar energy,radioactive decay chemical energy heat and pressure are what change the rocks and there minerals

One example of flowing is solar energy. The rock can melt from it and turn into lava and then a igneous rock.

Channing C-WEB said...

An example of energy is magma. Magma flows up and out of the ground and turns into lava. It cools and turns into igneous rock.

There are many forms of energy in the rock cycle such as, radioactive decay, which is the process of elements released from decay burning things; solar energy, which causes the weather; pressure, which as it sounds is pressure that can crush rocks; chemical energy, which is the dissolved chemicals getting into the ground; gravity, which is the force that pulls everything to the center of the Earth; and last is, heat, because immense heat can cause rocks to melt, and cause other things.
