    Recycling is not just for plastic. Did you know that the Earth recycles? Recycling happens because the outer part of the planet is made up of large moving pieces of rock. Some of these pieces, called tectonic plates, sink deep down into the Earth. The deeper they go, the more heat and pressure they experience. This causes chemical reactions, including melting of the minerals that make up the rocks. Elements and water trapped inside the melting minerals are released and erupt from volcanoes, returning to the surface. The Earth has recycled! In this article, we present new research on a mineral called lawsonite. Lawsonite only forms in plates that dive into the Earth. Lawsonite has returned to the Earth’s surface in a few rare places where we can collect and analyze it. The composition of elements inside the lawsonite mineral help us understand the deep part of the Earth recycling system.
