How is energy recycled through the rock cycle?

• It starts with the sun heating the atmosphere and Earth creating weather and then eventually the heat is released back to the atmosphere when magma cools.

• Energy is not recycled through the rock cycle.

• Energy gets destroyed once sedimentary rock is transformed into metamorphic rock.

• None of these.
