Biogeochemical Cycles Elements, compounds and other forms of matter are passed from one organism to another and from one part of the biosphere to another.
The Phosphorus Cycle Phosphorus in the biosphere cycles among the land, ocean, sediment and living organisms
The Carbon Cycle 4 MAIN PROCESSES MOVE CARBON 1. Biological processes- photosynthesis, respiration and decomposition. 2. Burial and decomposition of dead organisms and their conversion under pressure (fossil fuels).
The Carbon Cycle 3. Geochemical processes- erosion and volcanic activity ( release CO2). 4. Mining, cutting and burning forests (burn fossil fuels).
The Nitrogen Cycle The atmosphere is the main reservoir of nitrogen, it also cycles through the soil and tissues of living organisms.
The Water Cycle Water constantly moving between the atmosphere and Earth. Please be able to label the water cycle.
