Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tectonic cycle involves the movement of plates in the Earth's crust and mantle. This movement can cause volcanic eruptions and the formation of new rock, which brings heat and new materials to the surface. The rock cycle, hydrologic cycle, mineral cycle, and biogeochemical cycle do not specifically involve the movement of heat and new materials from the interior of the Earth.
