Questions:
1. What are Biogeochemical Cycles?
$>Biogeochemical Cycles are pathways for molecules or elements like water that moves through earth's varies geological departments.
2. What is a Reservoir of water?
$> A reservoir of water is it's different form in different places like the ocean, clouds, and polar ice caps.
3. What is Precipitation? Name a few types:
$> Precipitation is when water is being held in the atmosphere condenses. They can be in many forms as rain, hail, snow, and more.
4. What is Evaporation? Where does most of evaporation take place on Earth? Sublimation?
Deposition?
$> Evaporation is the conversion of a liquid into gas. when a substance converts straight from a solid to a gas. Sublimation is when a substance converts straight from a solid to a gas. Deposition is when a substances converts into a gas.
5. What is Condensation?
$> Condensation is responsible for the formation of clouds which happens when air containing vapor cools or is compressed to the point that it can no longer be a gas.
6. What is Runoff? Where does it ultimately end up? (Most of it)
$> Runoff is when gravity pulls the water across the surface of the land, towards land to the lowest point, or pulls it underground.
7. Why are oceans salty?
$> The oceans are salty, because when water runs to the ocean it runs with minerals like salt from the soil.
8. What are the 3 ways that the human body loses water?
$> It loses water by evaporation from our skin, by exhaling water vapor, and by when it comes out as liquid waste.
9. What is evapotranspiration?
$> Evapotranspiration is where the plant's water is sucked through the roots and up to the leaves then evaporating quickly. This is responsible for the water that enters the atmosphere.
10. Diagram the Water Cycle (Hydrologic)
$> The picture will be on the left.
1. All living things require what to create their bodies?
$> All living things require carbon to create their bodies.
2. What percentage of the human body is Carbon?
$> About 50% is the amount of carbon of the human body, if you were to remove all the water out from the body.
3. How are plants involved in the Carbon Cycle? What happens to the Carbon?- how does it get back to the environment?
$> Plants are involved in the Carbon Cycle, because they absorb carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere since they need to photosynthesis. After taking carbon dioxide in, they release it back out during the respiration process.
4. What happens to Carbon in the ocean? How does it get there? Where does it go?
$> Carbon in the ocean dissolves easily, and they are used by phytoplankton organisms.
5. What are shells made of? What happens when they fall to the bottom of the ocean?
$> Shells are made of carbon and photosynthesis. When the shells fall to the bottom of the ocean, they become rocks like limestone.
6. What happens to Limestone when it is dissolved in water?
$> When limestone is dissolved in water it's calcium carbonated is broken down forming into carbon dioxide or carbonic acid.
7. What is happening with the excess Carbon in the atmosphere? Why is it important that some of the Carbon remains locked in the ground or in ice (glaciers, permafrost)?
$> The excess of carbon in the atmosphere is causing global warming and is locked underground or in ice. It is important that carbon is locked in the ground or in
ice, because it can release not just carbon dioxide but also methane out into the atmosphere.
8. What is positive feedback loop? Hint: What is happening with global warming?
$> A positive feed back is that releasing out methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere helps the greenhouse keep going as a cycle.
