Earth's Cycles Project Final Assessment

Part 1
Rock Cycle
1.How does magma change into a metamorphic rock?
magma--lava--crystallization--igneous rock--heat/pressure--metamorphic

Carbon Cycle
2.How can a fossil fuel be used in photosynthesis?
fossil fuel--consumption--CO2 emission--CO2--absorption/producers--photosynthesis

Water Cycle
3.How does a cloud turn into groundwater?
cloud--precipitation--run off--infiltration--groundwater

Part 2
How are the rock, carbon, water cycles connected to the hydrosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere and biosphere?

Required Paragraphs:
Hydrosphere Paragraph- Hydrosphere is water cycle,their process is the same.weathering and precipitation are the same.erosion and crystaltization also connected hydrosphere.Producers use water to photosynthesis and absorption.Consuners use water too.

Lithosphere Paragraph- Lithosphere is Rock cycle,land,soil.Fossil fuels cover in soil.Rain water run-off in soil,then infiltration to groundwater.

Atmosphere Paragraph- Atmosphere is Carbon cycle.carbon cycle and water cycle both need sunlight.clouds make from water vapor and CO2.

Biosphere Paragraph- Biosphere is living thing,producers,consumers and docomposers.Bacterial also erosion rock.Transpiration by the producers.

short answer
How are three cycles connected to each other?
Producers and consumer use water.CO2 and water vapor make clouds.precipition and weathering rain the plants, animal and rock.fossil fuels in soil,infiltration slao happened on soil.

Reflection
1.What did you enjoy most about about this project and why?
I most enjoy to draw the comic about the rock cycle, because it was funny and drew the rock had eye,hand like human.

2.What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
I think it was using clay to make the rock, magma,lava etc.Because it was diffcult to make and not look like.

3.What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
I learn little bit how to make a cartoon video.

4.Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work?
Make clay faster, spend more time to take more photo, use clay to make our name.
