Which of the following is not true regarding the Earth’s system and its energy and material cycles?   Energy in the atmosphere can change form such as changing from a vapor to a liquid when rain is formed   Runoff from rain events allows water to flow back to the oceans which is a form of conserving energy   Energy is received from outer space via ultraviolet radiation which in turn emits heat on Earth   Matter and energy are always depleted on Earth because of energy and material cycles   Various material cycles such as the rock cycle, water cycle, carbon cycle, and nitrogen cycle are interconnected and allow energy and transformations for energy from one cycle to another
