Weather moves gases into the atmosphere.
Geological processes like weathering can release nutrients from rocks, increasing their availability for plants. Erosion can transport nutrients to different locations, altering local nutrient cycling patterns. Volcanic eruptions can also introduce new nutrients into ecosystems.
Geological processes, such as weathering and erosion, release nutrients from rocks and minerals, making them available for uptake by plants. These processes also influence soil formation and composition, which in turn affects nutrient availability for organisms in an ecosystem. Additionally, geology can impact the movement of water and nutrients through the landscape, affecting the distribution and cycling of nutrients in ecosystems.
The two processes that sustain ecosystems and the biosphere are photosynthesis and nutrient cycling. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy, while nutrient cycling involves the cycling of essential nutrients like carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus through the ecosystem. These processes are linked because photosynthesis produces oxygen and glucose that support the biogeochemical cycles involved in nutrient cycling, ensuring the continuous flow of energy and nutrients through ecosystems.
Bacteria are responsible for processes such as nutrient cycling, decomposition, and nitrogen fixation in Earth's environment. However, they are not responsible for the process of photosynthesis, which is carried out by plants, algae, and some bacteria.
because the way the plates move cause different processes to occur and covergent boundaries such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and rivers/oceans
Rocks do not have a lifespan in the same way living organisms do. They can exist for millions or even billions of years, undergoing changes through geological processes.
Geological processes at convergent boundaries vary due to the different types of tectonic plates involved (continental-oceanic, continental-continental, or oceanic-oceanic) and their respective densities, compositions, and interactions. These variations lead to different outcomes such as subduction, mountain building, volcanic activity, and seismic events. The specific geological features and processes at each convergent boundary are influenced by the nature of the plates and the direction of their movements.
There isn't really such a thing as "geologic evolution". Geology describes processes by which geological features may form or alter, but these are not in any way even remotely similar to the processes by which lifeforms develop over time. The changes wrought by geological processes can be (summarily) described in terms of mechanical forces acting on a single body of mixed composition; the processes involved in evolution require populations of self-replicating organisms. So really, they don't compare. At all.

No , it is not . Islam does not prohibit cycling ( as a Sport , I suppose ). We should note that women have to adhere to Islamic way of dress that ( the way ) may not be practical with cycling.
That depend on what you believe. It comes down to science and religion. I personally am a christian so I think GOD created it in his own way.
