water cycle
evaporation, condensation and precipitation
What are the major processes of Water Cycle?
How is carbon stored for long periods of time?
Fossil Fuels
non-metals
Nitrogen is classified into this group of elements: halogens, transition metals, noble gases or non-metals
21%
What is the percentage of oxygen on Earth?
nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, water, sulfur and phosphorous
Name the 6 biogeochemicals that exist
Evaporation
Occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase
What is the main role of decomposers?
Break down dead matter to release carbon into the atmosphere through respiration in the mitochondria of decomposers
True
True or false question. Animals absorb nitrogen through eating plants.
Caebon dioxide is released into the atmosphere
what happens when humans burn oil and other fuel?
is a pathway by which a chemical substance moves through biotic (biosphere) and abiotic (lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere) compartments of Earth.
What is biogeochemical by definition?
Evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, runoff, and percolation
Name the complete water cycle
Where is the most of Earth's carbon located?
Ocean
Build proteins
What do plants do with the nitrogen they absorb?
there is a continuous exchange of gases
why is CO2 and O2 cycle consider to be a cycle?
By using clean coal
How are humans trying to be proactive in reducing our sulfur emission?
triple point
Point where the water is in the three stages (liquid, solid and gas)
How does carbon exit the ecosystem and re-enter the atmosphere?
Plants take in carbon and then when animals die, decomposers and detritivores break down organic matter
In the roots of plants
Where are nitrogen fixing bacteria found?
Respiration
What life process of most life forms requires oxygen?
gas state and atmosphere
Phosphorus is found everywhere EXCEPT...
Solid ice when heated at constant pressure is first generated to form liquid water, and then evaporated to form water vapor.
Example of a triple point
What role does cellular respiration have in the carbon cycle?
It releases the carbon back into the atmosphere
Proteins
Nitrogen is an essential element in this class of food compounds:
Ozone
Oxygen forming the molecule O3 is called:
At normal temperatures and pressure, phosphorus is at a liquid state
Why can't Phosphorus be found in the atmosphere?
