oxygen cycle
what is a oxygen cycle?
movements of oxygen throughout atmosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere
what is nitrogen cycle?
biogeochemical cycle that which nitrogen is interconverted in the environment
what is carbon cycle?
biogeochemical cycle which carbon is exchanged in the biosphere and atmosphere
what is Haber- Bosch?
industrial procedure for the production of ammonia
what different forms are there?
4, land, water, air, and living things
why is the oxygen cycle important?
to maintain the concentration and level of Oxygen in the atmosphere
why is nitrogen cycle important?
nitrogen is an essential nutrient for sustaining life on Earth
why is the carbon cycle important?
it regulates the Earth's temperature, make up the food that sustains us, and provide energy that fuels our global economy.
why is haber Bosch important on earth?
used as mass produce plant fertilizer
what is the role of microorganisms in earths nitrogen cycle?
convert nitrogen gas in the atmosphere to ammonia
what does the oxygen cycle do?
helps in maintaining the oxygen level
what does the nitrogen cycle do?
nitrogen moves through both living and non-living things
what does the carbon cycle do?
moves carbon between plants, animals, microbes and minerals in the earth and atmosphere.
what does Haber-Bosch do?
producing ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen
where is carbon found on earth?
amorphous, granite, and diamond
what is the oxygen cycle significance on earth?
humans and animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide, and again linking back to the plants
what is the nitrogen cycle significance on earth?
Helps in converting inert nitrogen gas into a usable form for the plants through the biochemical process
what is the carbon cycle significance on earth?
carbon makes life on Earth possible
what is the haber Bosch significance on earth?
It sparked a global population boom that has yet to slack off
what different forms are taken by carbon?
dead organisms, atmosphere, organic matter, and fossil fuels
how is the oxygen cycle affected?
when humans cut down large areas of trees, we decrease oxygen production in that area as a result
how does the nitrogen cycle affect the carbon cycle?
faster decomposition of organic carbon
how does energy from the sun drive earths carbon cycle?
energy from the sun to chemically combine carbon dioxide with hydrogen and oxygen from water to create sugar molecules
what did haber do to nitrogen
developed a method for producing ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen
why are these systems all important?
These cycles help in moving these elements between living things and the environment, and they provide the raw materials for biosynthesis
