Describe the process of matter cycling and explain in detail one specific cycle.
Let’s take the example of the Carbon Dioxide cycle. Carbon dioxide is flushed to the ground by rain. It then runs into the oceans where it combines with basalt to form rock. It then, through plate tectonics, is absorbed into the mantle and outgassed as Carbon Dioxide through volcanoes.
