Cycle-Whaaaaaaat!
Do you have any Grey Carbon?
The Phosphorous Cycle
Good Nitrogen, Sleep Tightrogen, don't let the bed bugs bitrogen.
Don't go chasin' water cycles
100
This cycle contains CO2.
The Carbon Cycle.
100
Plants take this in and release oxygen.
CO2
100
to remove soil and rock from one location on the Earth's crust, then transport it to another location where it is deposited.
Erosion
100
what percent of the atmosphere is Nitrogen?
78% or 90%
100
How does water get into the atmosphere?
Evaporation
200
This cycle involves transpiration.
The Water Cycle.
200
Factories burn this and produce CO2 in the atmosphere
Fossil fuels
200
Where is Phosphorous found?
In rocks.
200
What other method, BESIDES BACTERIA, can put nitrogen into the soil?
Lightning.
200
What is is called when water builds up in the atmosphere?
Condensation
300
This cycle involves decaying/dead organisms.
The carbon cycle.
300
This happens when the ocean get too much CO2
Acidification.
300
How do animals get phosphorous?
They eat plants that contain phosphorous.
300
What do the nitrogen-fixing bacteria turn nitrogen into?
Ammonia
300
What is the term for water coming down from the sky? (Ex. rain, snow, sleet fog)
Precipitation
400
This cycle involves bacteria that pull molecules out of the air and fix them to the soil.
The Nitrogen Cycle.
400
This happens when carbon based organisms breath, die, or are burned.
Carbon reenters the atmosphere.
400
How do plants get phosphorous?
They pull it from the soil.
400
How does nitrogen get out of the soil and back into the atmosphere?
Denitrifying Bacteria.
400
Where does all water eventually end up?
The ocean.
500
This is the only cycle that does not involve the atmosphere.
The Phosphorous Cycle.
500
This happens after organisms die and sink to the bottom of the ocean.
Carbon is stored at the bottom of the ocean for millions of years.
500
Where does Phosphorous end up after it is eroded from mountains goes through plants and animals and exits the soil?
That water table where it is reformed into rock.
500
How do nitrogen-fixing bacteria help plants out?
Bacteria turn nitrogen into ammonia and nitrates and plants absorb ammonia and nitrites through their roots and use it to make amino acids
500
What is it called when plants "breath out" water?
Transpiration.
