1 Chapter 20 Section 2 How do living things and the nonliving parts of the environment interact?

2 Cycles of Matter How does matter move in ecosystems?

3 Cycles of Matter evaporation condensation precipitation
nitrogen fixation

4 How does matter move in ecosystems?
Elements : pure substance that can not be broken down Elements move through one matter cycle may also play a role in another, such as oxygen’s role in the water cycle.

5 Cycle: a series of repeated events
element Science Use one of a class of substances that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical means Common Use a part or piece

6 During the water cycle, the processes of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation move water from Earth’s surface into the atmosphere and back again.

7 The Water Cycle Evaporation is the process during which liquid water changes into a gas called water vapor. Water vapor rises into the atmosphere. Temperature, humidity, and wind affect how quickly water evaporates. Transpiration is the release of water vapor from the leaves and stems of plants.

8 Condensation is the process during which water vapor changes into liquid water.
Clouds form because of condensation. Clouds are made of millions of tiny water droplets or crystals of ice.

9 Precipitation :Water that falls from clouds to Earth’s surface.
Precipitation can be rain, snow, sleet, or hail that forms as water droplets or ice crystals join together in clouds. Over time, living things use this precipitation, and the water cycle continues.

10 The Water Cycle (cont.) What forms does water take as it moves through ecosystems?

11 The Nitrogen Cycle Nitrogen is an essential part of proteins, and DNA
Nitrogen cycles between Earth and its atmosphere and back again. Nitrogen Fixation: the process that changes atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogen compounds that are usable by living things Nitrates – usable nitrogen

12 The Nitrogen Cycle When organisms die, bacteria help return nitrogen in the tissues of dead organisms to the environment. Nitrogen also returns to the environment in the waste products of organisms. Legumes root nodules also contain bacteria that help to fix nitrogen Lightening helps to fix nitrogen in the atmosphere

13 Nitrogen is found in different forms as it cycles between Earth and its atmosphere.

15 The Carbon Cycle

16 Fossil fuels- contain carbon which formed when decomposing organisms were exposed to pressure, heat, and bacteria for hundreds of millions of years. Combustion- the burning of fossil fuels

17 Respiration: when the sugar is broken down by cells and its energy is released, carbon dioxide is released as a by-product that enters the atmosphere and can be used again. Photosynthesis: plants and other photosynthetic organisms take in carbon dioxide and water and produce energy-rich sugars.(Glucose)

18 Greenhouse effect -Carbon dioxide is one of the gases in the atmosphere that absorbs thermal energy from the Sun it helps keep Earth warm and protects Earth from harmful radiation While the greenhouse effect is essential for life, a steady increase in greenhouse gases can harm ecosystems.

19 Matter such as water, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon cycles through ecosystems.
The three stages of the water cycle are evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

20 The greenhouse effect helps keep the Earth from getting too hot or too cold.

21 A. melting B. freezing C. precipitation D. humidity
Which is a stage of the water cycle? A. melting B. freezing C. precipitation D. humidity

22 Which of the following is made up of bits of rocks, water, air, minerals, and the remains of once-living things? A. bacteria Soil C. the atmosphere D. carbon

23 D. the greenhouse effect
What is the name for the process during which water vapor changes into liquid water? A. condensation B. evaporation C. precipitation D. the greenhouse effect

24 Do you agree or disagree?
3. Carbon, nitrogen, and other types of matter are used by living things over and over again. 4. Clouds are made of water vapor.
