Write a short narrative from the perspective of a mineral moving through the rock cycle. The mineral must undergo at least four changes.

Mineral and non- mineral components circulate in the environment in different forms whether it is in the form of solid, liquid, or gas.

Explanation:

Plants take up the minerals like calcium, potassium, nitrogen, sulphur, and others from the soil and utilize them for their survival and growth. These minerals are stored in the flowers, leaves, roots, and other plant parts and these plant parts are consumed by humans and animals. So, inorganic minerals from the soil are converted into organic forms by the plants again the minerals are decomposed into inorganic forms after the death of organisms and again mineral is converted into inorganic form in the soil and these minerals can become the component of the rocks after the sedimentation of the soil.

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
