Answer 1

To illustrate how energy drives the processes that form and change rocks, you can use the following labels. Please fill in the blank spaces with the options that best fit the processes related to the rock cycle:

1. **Heat from the Earth's interior**
2. **Solar energy from the sun**
3. **Pressure from overlying rocks**
4. **Weathering and erosion**
5. **Magmatic activity**
6. **Metamorphism**

You can assign the labels based on their relevance to different processes in the rock cycle, such as:

- **Blank space 1**: Heat from the Earth's interior (related to igneous processes)
- **Blank space 2**: Solar energy from the sun (relevant to weathering and erosion)
- **Blank space 3**: Pressure from overlying rocks (involved in metamorphic processes)
- **Blank space 4**: Weathering and erosion (surface processes)
- **Blank space 5**: Magmatic activity (formation of igneous rocks)
- **Blank space 6**: Metamorphism (process transforming existing rock)

You can modify the assignments based on the specific focus of your diagram.
