Phosphorous Cycle
Carbon Cycle
Potpouri
100
Evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and accumilation
What is the main four stages of the water cycle?
100
The stage/action which this cycle primarily begins with.
What is precipitation?
100
The taveling of phosphorus from living organisms to the soils and then to the water
What is the phosphorus cycle?
100
The process through which carbon dioxide is taken in by plants, process and then replenished through a number of outside sources.
What is the carbon cycle?
100
Underneath the Earth's surface
Where is majority of carbon on Earth stored
200
Water flow on the surface of the earth because the soil is already at its maximum infiltration.
What is Surface Runoff?
200
The substance that plants absorb from the Earth.
What is nitrogen?
200
the slowest
Compared to all the other cycles, the phosphorus cycle is the slowest or fastest
200
A process essential to the carbon cycle in which sunlight is converted to organic decay through plants such as trees.
What is photosynthesis.
200
Water either absorbs energy or gives off energy
What happen when water goes from one stage of the cycle to the other?
300
Groundwater storage and bodies of fresh water.
What can be a result of Infiltration?
300
Nitrogen fertilizers and ________ _______ add nitrogen to the earth.
What are forest fires?
300
The Atmosphere
_______ is involved in most nutrient cycles except the Phosphorus cycle?
300
Animal, plant, and root _______ are part of the carbon cycle.
What is respiration?
300
Once the phosphorus gets carried away it is no longer part of the cycle and is lost.
Where does the phosphorus go once it is carried away by the runoff?
400
Groundwater flow and streamflow
What is two ways for fresh bodies of water to be made?
400
Food.
What is the source from which the body gets the nitrogen it needs?
400
Phosphorus is in the DNA and is used to store ATP and ADP
How is Phosphorus important to living organisms?
400
Traps heat in the atmosphere, making the Earth warmer. And excess however, is bad for the environment and would make the Earth too warm.
What is the effect of greenhouse gases?
400
It is a product of denitrification which is a process where nitrogen travels from the soil to the air.
Why do we have so much nitrogen in the air?
500
The collection of evaporated water and the transpiration of water from plants
What is evapotranspiration?
500
They create organic matter which converts into ammonium and then nitrates used throughout the rest of this cycle.
What role do organic residues play in the nitrogen cycle?
500
Runoff and erosion of phosphorus sediments move the phosphorus from in the soil to the water.
How does the water cycle affect the Phosphorus cycle?
500
Decaying and dead organisms, and waste products.
What are the elements that allow respiration to occur in the carbon cycle?
500
The process of turning ammonium into nitrates which plants can use.
What is nitrification?
