Rock Cycle
Q - How does a metamorphic rock become a sedimentary rock?
A- Melting will change a metamorphic into magma. When magma becomes lava and gets to the surface it changes into igneous rock by crystallization. Then weathering breaks down igneous rock into sediments and erosion will move them. Then sediments will stick together with other rock by compaction and cementation and form a sedimentary rock.
Q - How does magma change into a metamorphic rock?
A - Melting will change a metamorphic rock into magma. When magma becomes lava and gets to the surface it changes into igneous rock by crystallization. Then igneous rock will be pushed down by pressure and form into metamorphic rock by heat.
Carbon Cycle
Q - How does a consumer become a fossil fuel?
A - When a consumer dies its body gets decomposed and goes underground. After this process it becomes a fossil, later it will become a fossil fuel.
Q - How can a fossil fuel be used in photosynthesis?
A - When CO2 Emissions happen at factories it release CO2 into the atmosphere. Then producers absorb CO2 as a part of photosynthesis.
Water Cycle
Q - How does lake turn into into a cloud?
A - Heat from the sun evaporates a lake. That process produces water vapor. Then water vapor gets together by condensation and creates clouds.
Essential Questions
Hydrosphere is connected to the water cycle by almost everything because these are probably the same thing. For example precipitation, which is water (hydro), brings water on the ground. Later this water will be moves underground by infiltration and creates a groundwater, which is a part of hydrosphere. Hydrosphere is connected to the rock cycle by weathering and erosion, Weathering, which is water\rain\ice, breaks down rocks. Erosion,which is basically a wind, but can be water too, moves rocks. Hydrosphere is connected to the carbon cycle by precipitation. Precipitation gives water to producers, which use water as a part of photosynthesis.
Lithosphere is connected to the water cycle by groundwater. Groundwater is located underground in the lithosphere. Lithosphere is connected to the rock cycle by that is almost every part of the rock cycle (igneous rock, sediments, sedimentary rock, metamorphic rock) is a rock, which lithosphere basically is. Also, most of the processes of the rock cycle (melting, compaction, cementation) happen in the lythosphere. Lithosphere is connected to the carbon cycle by fossil fuels because they are located in the lithosphere.
Atmosphere is connected to the water cycle by precipitation and condensation. Atmosphere includes weather as it's part and precipitation is the weather. Condensation that creates clouds happens in the atmosphere. Atmosphere is connected to the rock cycle by weathering. Weathering breaks down rocks. Atmosphere is connected to the carbon cycle by precipitation and CO2 emisions. Precipitation gives water to producers, which use it as a part of photosynthesis. CO2 emisions release CO2 into the atmosphere.
Biosphere is connected to the water cycle by plant uptake. Producers, which are plants, take water from the ground. Biosphere is connected to the rock cycle only by that plants grow in the lithosphere. Biosphere is connected to the carbon cycle by breathing, producers and decomposers. Consumers, which are humans or animals, breath out CO2. Producers, which are plants, release O2 and absorb CO2. Decomposers form fossils out of once living things.
The water cycle is connected to the rock cycle by weathering, because weathering is formed by water cycle and it breaks down rocks. The water cycle is connected to the carbon cycle by precipitation, because precipitation is formed by the water cycle and it gives water to producers, which use it as a part of photosynthesis. The rock cycle is connected to the carbon cycle by eruption, because eruptions ,which happen because of the rock cycle, release CO2, which is a part of carbon cycle.

Every country can be defined by it's natural characteristics. Characteristics such as world location, climate zone, landforms, natural resources, water resources and natural disasters. I think our country give us some basic things like what we love to eat, love to watch, love to do. But anyway a personality goes much further than your original country.
