The rock cycle involves of a chain of continual progressions through which earth materials change from one form to another over time. Some processes in the rock cycle happen over millions of years and others occur much more quickly. There is no real starting or completion to the rock cycle; however‚ it may be appropriate to begin investigating the rock cycle with magma (Bergman 2005). Magma‚ or molten rock‚ forms only at certain locations within the earth‚ mostly along plate boundaries. Magma crystallizes

While macroeconomics is a broad field of study‚ there are two areas of research that are emblematic of the discipline: the attempt to understand the causes and consequences of short-run fluctuations in national income (the business cycle)‚ and the attempt to understand the determinants of long-run economic growth (increases in national income).

Nitrogen is extremely important to living material; in fact plants‚ animals and humans could not live without it. Sprent (1987) argued that nitrogen cycle is the most important process to living organisms after the carbon cycle. But nitrogen exists as dinitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere‚ which living things‚ particularly plants‚ cannot synthesize (citation) The process of nitrogen
