2. Water Cycle

3. Water Cycle Water Cycle (Outside) Processes/Forms (inside)
Driven by the sun
Water circulates between oceans, atmosphere, biosphere, and geosphere.
Evaporation: vapor (sun)
Condensation: Clouds
Precipitation: Rain/snow
Transpiration: water that travels through plants then into atmosphere
Percolation: Water seeps into soil into ground water.

4. Carbon Cycle

5. Carbon Cycle The Carbon Cycle (Outside) Processes/Forms (inside)
Is linked to energy
Carbon is part of organic molecules
Driven By
Photosynthesis
Respiration
Combustion (burning organic matter)
Decomposition (decaying organic matter)
As organic molecules
As gas (carbon Dioxide)
As organic matter (soil)
In lithosphere as fossil fuels
Sedimentary rock (limestone)
In oceans (dissolved (CO2)
Calcium Carbonate (shells in marine organisms

6. Nitrogen Cycle

7. Nitrogen Cycle Nitrogen Cycle (outside) Processes/Forms (inside)
Used to build proteins and cells
Air is 78% Nitrogen gas
Organisms can not use atmospheric nitrogen
It must be fixed
Air  Soil Plants and Animals  Air again
Atmospheric N2 (nitrogen gas)
Nitrogen fixing bacteria
Removes nitrogen from air and into soil

8. Phosphorus Cycle

9. Phosphorus Cycle Phosphorus Cycle (outside) Processes/Forms (inside)
Organisms can use to build cells
Moves from every sphere except for atmosphere
Enters soil and water when rocks break down and dissolves
Plants absorb it through their roots
Animals absorb it when they eat plants
