Water Cycle
Water is fully absorbed in cumulonimbus clouds and falls to the surface
What is precipitation?
the one cycle that doesn't pass through the atmosphere
what is the phosphorus cycle?

5. Geological Uplift
What are the steps of the Phosphorus Cycle?
Rocks and soil underground transform into this due to carbon one is black rocks and one is used in vaseline
What is coal and petroleum?
Bacteria takes energy converting to nitrogen gas and released into the atmosphere by a process.
What is denitrification?
3% of your body weight is made up of this gas
what is nitrogen?
the phere's that the water cycle each passes thorugh
what is the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere?
Formed by deposition of minerals or organic particles phosphorus is contained in this.
What is sedimentary rock?
Carbon dioxide is found in the hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere
What are large reserviors?
Nitrogen is spread on plants to help grow faster
what is fertilizer?
These are the 3 major processes of the water cycle
what is precipitation, condensation, and evaporation.
