The Rock Cycle. Over many thousands of years, energy from the Sun moves the wind and water at the Earth's surface with enough force to break rocks apart into sand and other types of sediment. ... Other times magma flows to the Earth's surface and erupts from a volcano. Rocks can affect the atmosphere!
Scientists interpret the earth's history by establishing the sequence in which rock layers were formed and by interpreting the fossil evidence contained within the rock layers. Earth's history can be interpreted by making the assumption that processes in the past are the same as those that occur today.
