Water cycle
a cycle that shows the movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth.
what is the water cycle
what is the cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth.
what is the carbon cycle
what is the cycle by which nitrogen is converted into multiple chemical forms as it circulates among the atmosphere, terrestrial, and marine ecosystems.
What is the nitrogen cycle
long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns
what is climate change
marine invertebrates within the class Anthozoa of the phylum Cnidaria. They typically form compact colonies of many identical individual polyps.
what is coral
where does the water cycle begin
what is the sun
where the carbon cycle begins
with plants
where the nitrogen begins
what is fixation
how climate change starts
what are greenhouse gasses
coral polyps come out of their skeletons stretching their long, stinging tentacles to capture critters that are floating by.
how does coral eat
the process of turning from liquid into vapor
what is evaporation
a chemical element with the symbol C and atomic number 6. It is nonmetallic and tetravalent-making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds.
what is carbon
the chemical element with the symbol N and atomic number 7.
what is nitrogen
the long-term pattern of weather in an area, typically averaged over a period of 30 years.
what is the climate
the godfather of coral
who is John "Charlie" Veron
what water does once it evaporates
how does water become a cloud
what every living thing has in it
what is carbon
essential for growth and reproduction in both plants and animals.
what is nitrogen for
Warmer temperatures over time are changing weather patterns and disrupting the usual balance of nature. This poses many risks to human beings and all other forms of life on Earth.
how does climate change affect us
coral bleaching
what happens when coral dies
enables the availability of water for all living organisms and regulates weather patterns on our planet
how the water cycle helps us
we exhale carbon in the form of carbon dioxide. When we die and our bodies decompose, carbon is released back into the soil.
how does the carbon cycle affect us
The excess nitrogen present in our waterways has lead to dead zones where aquatic life cannot survive.
how does the nitrogen cycle affect us
From the way we travel to the electricity we use and the food we eat, we can make a difference.
how can we stop climate change
this happens when the temperature of the ocean changes drastically
how does coral die
