 * ASSIGNMENT 1: Earth Systems Interactions**.

Erosion is a cycle what is caused by the hydrosphere wearing away at mountains in the lithosphere. Rain water falls on the top of mountains and as it runs down the side of the mountain it carries sediment from the mountain down to a larger river. As rain water begin to run and merge with other small streams carrying sediment it is able to carry more sediment from the mountain causing it to erode. over years of this cycle the rain water from the hydrosphere will eventually completely erode a mountain.

The rock Granite is filled with many differant minerals all of these minerls form together to make the structure granite. Granite is made of Potassium feldspar, plagioclase feldspar, and quartz; differing amounts of [|muscovite], biotite, and [|hornblende]-type amphiboles.Granite is currently known only on Earth where it forms a major part of [|continental crust]. This form of granite is formed when magma bursts out of a volcano and runs down the volcano of lava. This form of granite is the slower cooling form of the two kinds of granite. This is the reason you can see all the different minerals that make it up.
