This is a part of the slow carbon cycle
What is the rock cycle?
300
These are some examples of things in the geosphere
What is mountains, volcanoes, canyons, etc?
300
This is how decomposition affects D.O. levels in the water
What is decomposers use up oxygen in the water faster than plants can produce it?
300

This is the number of atoms in 4(NH₄)₃PO₄
What is 80 atoms?
400
This is how nitrogen causes deadzones in bodies of water
What is 1) Excess nitrogen enters streams 2) Extra nutrients cause an algae bloom 3) The algae dies off 4) Decomposers use up all the oxygen in the water creating a deadzone?
400
These are the 4 steps to form coal
What is 1) starts as peat in swamps 2) Heat and pressure turns it into lignite 3) Continued heat and pressure turns it into Blituminous 4) The heat and pressure final turns it into Anthracite?

These are the natural processes that move Nitrogen through the cycle
What is ammonification, Nitrogen fixation, denitrification, decomposition, and Nitrification
500
This is why coral reefs are in danger
What is the increasing carbonic acid in the water is dropping the pH level to a point where it can dissolve the calcium carbonate shells?
