Water cycle and Biogeochemical cycles
How would Deforestation affect the Water Cycle?
Less Transpiration which causes less Water Vapor in the air so their would be less Precipitation
Photosynthesis _____ _____ ___ __ the Atmosphere.
Takes carbon out of
What zone does Chemosynthesis take place?
Aphotic zone
How do Humans cause Algae Blooms?
By using fertilizers that Run-off of land and into Bodies of water.
Biogeochemical cycles are referring to the ________? __________
Elements and P O N C H S
Carbon is a ________ in Respiration.
Product
Cold ocean water can hold more of ______ _______ and _________ gasses.
Carbon dioxide and Oxygen
What causes an Algae Bloom?
Excess Nitrogen and Phosphorus in water run-off.
What is the main cause for the increase of CO2 in the Atmosphere?
Humans burning fossil fuels
How is Carbon carried in the atmosphere?
I the from of CO2 GAS
What is Marine life most affected by?
1)
2)
1) the temperature of the water
2) The pH of the water
What is the END result of an Algae Bloom?
The Algae blocks the sunlight from reaching aquatic photosynthesizes. That will cause the fish to start dying.
What are the elements that are contained in the highest amount in living things?
N O C H
Respiration ____ Carbon ____ ____ the atmosphere.
Respiration PUTS carbon BACK INTO the atmosphere.
Global warming will melt the Polar Ice Caps and will add more ________ water to the ocean, changing its salinity and pH.
Fresh water
If the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere DECREASED how would this affect an ecosystem?
Producers wouldn't have enough reactants - CO2 - to make their food.
In an aquatic underwater environment, if the amount of Dissolved CO2 in the water decreases, the rate of __________ will decrease because...…..?
Photosynthesis by underwater plants will decrease because they won't have enough of the reactant.
Carbon is a _______ in photosynthesis.
What zone does Photosynthesis take place.
Photic Zone
How will making a lake shallower help prevent Algae Blooms?
If the lake is shallower, then the underwater plants way still be able to get enough sunlight to photosynthesize.
