What is the difference between the formations of chalk versus chert? they are made of different source materials. they have different grain sizes. chalk is terrestrial; chert is marine. chalk is biochemical; chert is chemical?

The difference between formations of chalk versus chert is that they are made of different source materials.  Chalk is formed from lime mud, which accumulates on the sea floor which is then transformed into rock by geological processes while Chert forms when microcrystals of silicon dioxide grow within soft sediments that become limestone or chalk, chert formation can be either be of chemical or biological origin. 

Energy does not disappear, the energy is transformed from one form into another form. When a car stereo is turned on, the car radio converts radio waves to electrical energy, next the electrical energy in transformed in sound. It means when someone turn on a radio we have electrical energy, which is transformed into electrical energy and then into energy acoustic.

The complete sequence of energy is:

First transmission sound energy is converted into mechanical energy then electrical energy in the microphone, next into radio waves that is electromagnetic energy. The aerials convert electromagnetic energy in electrical energy and next in magnetic and mechanical energy and finally in sound energy.
