AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the interconnections between the water cycle, sedimentary cycle, and tectonic processes. It emphasizes that the rock cycle, which includes weathering, erosion, transportation, and sedimentation, is influenced by the hydrologic cycle and interacts with plate tectonics. The plate tectonic cycle, driven by Earth's internal heat, facilitates the continuous recycling of materials between the mantle and crust. An example provided is the uplift of the Himalayas, which creates steeper gradients that enhance sedimentation downstream. The conversation also includes references to useful resources for further understanding these geological processes.

The water and sedimentary cycles are interrelated in many ways, Would you please help me to identify the interactions between :
sedimentary and tectonic, sedimentary and igneous, igneous and tectonic, water and tectonic ?

Thank you very much in advance,
 
Earth sciences news on Phys.org
Help me please...True, I really need your help on these things...
 
Okay, for starters some loose remarks.

the rock cycle of weathering,erosion, transportation, sedimentation is dependent on the hydrologic (water) cycle, and also interacts with the plate tectonic cycle. The plate tectonic cycle is driven by earth’s internal heat and results in the slow but continuous recycling of material through the mantle and back up into the crust


Water cycle - tectonic cycle - sedimentary cycle interaction:
The uplift of the Himalyas causes steeper gradient that leads to sedimentation of floods downstream.
 
Yes, I have just started to learn about Earth since last week...
Thank you , Andre very much for your explanation and those usefull links, <:sm:>

Thread 'The Secrets of Prof. Verschure's Rosetta Stones'

(Edit: since the thread title was changed, this first sentence is too cryptic: the original title referred to a Tool song....) Besides being a favorite song by a favorite band, the thread title is a straightforward play on words. This summer, as a present to myself for being promoted, I purchased a collection of thin sections that I believe comprise the research materials of Prof. Rob Verschure, who at the time was faculty in the Geological Institute in Amsterdam. What changed this...

Thread '(Unprecedented?) Cluster of earthquakes in Greek islands'

These last days, there is a seemingly endless cluster of rather powerful earthquakes close to the islands of Santorini, Amorgos, Anafi, and Ios. Remember, this is a highly volcanically active region, Santorini especially being famous for the supervolcanic eruption which is conjectured to have led to the decline of the Minoan civilization: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoan_eruption To grasp the scale of what is happening, between the 26th of January and the 9th of February, 12000...
