  1. Hi,

    Biogeochemical Cycles:


    NITROGEN CYCLE:

    Plant and animal wastes decompose and add nitrogen to the soil. Then the bacteria in the soil convert the forms of nitrogen into the forms plants are able to use. Plants use the nitrogen in the soil to grow. After people and animals eat the plants, the animal and plant residues return nitrogen to the soil once again.

  2. Biogeochemical Cycles are:


    Carbon Cycle: In the atmosphere, carbon is present by carbon dioxide gas. Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere by respiration, volcanic activity, by human activity, and by the decomposition of organic matter. Plants take in carbon dioxide and build carbohydrates using the carbon during photosynthesis. The carbohydrates are passed on to other consumers. Carbon is also found in the ocean.

  3. The Biogeochemical cyles are...

    The Carbon Cycle
    The Nitrogen Cycle
    The Phosphorous Cycle
    And the Water Cycle

    The Water cycle basically consists of four different actions. There is evaporation, precipitaion, runoff, and percolation. Evaporation takes water from the earth, mainly the ocean, and stores it in clouds to later rain. Raining is called precipitaion. When the precipitation stage ends, the runoff begins along with percolation. Runoff from the hills leads to lakes and oceans. Percolation seeps into the ground and fills the groundwater reservoir. And the cycle starts all over again.

    the water cycle:
    The water cycle is very complex. Water from the ocean/lakes evaporate into the sky. That water eventually rains. This is called precipitation. Once on the ground, it flows down mountains, also known as runoff. Percolation is when it soaks into the ground. Plants use the water through photosynthesis. Once the water reaches a reservoir, it will eventually evaporate, and the cycle will start all over again. Also, water is constantly being cycles through humans when we drink.

  6. The Biochemical Cycles are:
    Carbon Cycle
    Phosphorus Cycle
    Nitrogen Cycle
    Water Cycle

    Carbon Cycle-Carbon is the key ingredient for all living things to stay alive. When carbon and oxygen combine, they create carbon dioxide gas which is an important component in the atmosphere. when plants perform photosynthesis, they take in the carbon dioxide gas ans turn it into oxygen for us to breathe. Without plants we would not survive. Also, living things such as plants and animals release carbon dioxide during respiration (breathing).

  7. Hello,

    There are 4 types of chemical cycles there are
    1)water cycle
    2)carbon cycle
    3)nitrogen cycle
    4)phosphorus cycle

    Phosphorus Cycle
    The phosphorus cyle is essential to living organisms because it forms part of important life-sustaing molecule such as DNA and RNA. Unlike the carbon, oxygen and nitrogen molecules, phosphorus does not enter the atmosphere and remains mostly on land in rock, soil minerals, and ocean sendiments.

    The biochemical cycles are:

    water cycle
    nitrogen cycle
    phosphorus cycles and

    carbon cycle:

    Carbon is used in photosynthesis, then eaten by animals. Through respiration, animals breath out carbon dioxide gas. Through decomposition and deposition, carbon is deep underground. It is then mined and deposited back into the air through human activity. This also occurs in the ocean. Volcanic activity also takes carbon from the ground and releases it into the air.

    Water Cycle---
    The water cycle includes evaporation, percolation, run off, and precipitation. water gets evaporated and then precipitates and then the run off begins percolation, which seeps into the underground resevoir.

  16. Hi this is Meaghan Kay from Period 1.
    The four types of cycles are the Phsophorus Cycle, The Water Cycle, The Carbon Cycle and the Nitrogen Cycle.

    The Carbon Cycle:
    Carbon is a necessity for life. Calcium carbonate is an importatn component for animal skeletons and is found in many different rocks. When carbon and oxygen form carbon dioxide which is also very important for the atmosphere. It is taken in by plants used for photosynthesis and also given out by both animals and humans when breathing.

    phosphorus cycle: The phosphorus cycle is very important because it helps create DNA and RNA. Phosphorus is mostly found on land and sometimes when there is a river near by the phosphorus will disolve into the water. That water will eventually flow into the ocean, with the phosphorus, and will be used by the oceanic animals.

    Water:
    water is evaporated from lackes, oceans etc. and goes into the air, then it will eventually rain this is called percipitation. Next on the ground it falls down mountains, hills and such this is runoff. Percolation is when the water soaks into the ground then it gets evaporated and so on.

    The Biogeochemical Cycles are:
    The Carbon Cycle
    The Nitrogen Cycle
    The Phosphorous Cycle
    And the Water Cycle

    The carbon cycle plays many roles and is a key ingredient of living tissue.This cycle consists of 4 main types of processes that move through it's cycle.These processes are Biological such as photosynthesis which takes up and releases carbon and oxygen, Geochemical such as erosion which release carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and oceans, Mixed biogeochemical such as decomposition which store carbon underground, and human activites such as mining which release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

  24. hi,

    the biogeochemical cycles:

    1. Nitrogen Cylce: plant and animal wastes dicinegrate and add nitrogen to the soil. Then the bacteria in the soil changes the forms of nitrogen into the forms that plants are able to use. plants use the nitrogen in the soil to grow. After people and animals eat the plants, the animal and plant residues return nitrogen to the soil once again.

    The Water Cycle


    The energy from the sun causes water to evaporate from the surface of the earth. This process makes water vapor into the atmosphere. When water vapor rises, it cools and turns into a liquid again, which is called condensation. The liquid then precipitates returning to the earth.

  29. The biogeochemical cycles are :
    1. Nitrogen Cycle
    2. Carbon Cycle
    3. Phosphorus Cycle
    4. Water Cycle

    In the WATER CYCLE, the water moves between the ocean, the atmosphere, and the land. First evaporation takes place. This is where water changes from liquid form to an atmospheric gas. Then, there is transpiration. During this part of the cycle, water enters the atmosphere by evaporating from plants' leaves. Basically, the sun heats the atmosphere, cool air rises, and the water vapor eventually condenses into clouds. The clouds (droplets) become large, and the water is sent back to Earth's surface in the form of precipitation( rain, snow, sleet, or hail). On the land, the precipitation enters a river or stream, and it is carried as runoff to an ocean or lake. In addition, it also seeps into the soil, and if deep enough, it becomes ground water. The plants' roots get coil water, and the process begins again.

    The Carbon Cycle

    The water Cycle has 4 different actions. They are evaporation, precipitation, runoff, and percolation. The water from the ocean or lakes evaporates into the clouds which then rains which is called precipitation. Runoff from the hills and mountains runs into lakes which seeps into under ground reservoirs which is called percolation. Then the cycle starts all over again

    The water cycle begins by evaporation or transpiration. Evaporation is the process by which water changes from liquid form to an atmospheric gas, and water can also enter the atmosphere by evaporating from the leaves and plants in transpiration. Next, the vapor condenses into droplets that form clouds, and when the water becomes large enough, it returns to Earth by precipitation. The water runs in to the ocean or into plants, and the cycle begins all over again.

  32. Hey, Mr. Burns.

    The four biogeochemical cycles are water, carbon, phosphorus, and nirtrogen cycle.

    The water cycke begins when evorporation and transporation go into the atomoshpere and that condensates and falls as precipitation. Some of that water becomes runoff and percolates and becomes ground water. And it repeats again

  33. Hi this is sophie leveque from period 1.
    The biochemical cycles are the nitrogen cycle, the water cycle, the carbon cycle, and the Phosphorus cycle.

    The water cycle starts with evaporation. The evaporation takes water from the earth; the ocean, plants, and all bodies of water basically. Using that water, it rains in the process called precipitation. The rain then goes into run off and into percolation where the water seeps into the ground, and forms into groundwater or runs into bodies of water like oceans or lakes. Then it is evaporated again and the process starts all over. Water is constantly recycled.

    water cycle
    nitrogen cycle
    phosphorous cycle

    the water cycle:
    the water cycle consists of 4 different steps. First there is evaporation when the water from either lakes or the ocean evaporate into the clouds. Next is precipitation when its raining. After the rain, once its on the ground, the water flows down the mountain as runoff. Next is percolation when the water seeps into the ground and is used by the plants for photosynthesis. And it goes on and on.

  35. 1. Nitrogen Cycle

    4. Water Cyle

    The Water cycle is runoff, precipitation, evaporation, and percolation. Evaporation takes water from the earth, mainly the ocean, but sometimes lakes and river.It is stored it in the clouds and builds up until it rains. Raining is the same thing as precipitation. When the precipitation stage stops the runoff starts with percolation. Runoff from the hills and mountains lead to lakes, rivers, and oceans. Percolation goes into the ground and fills the ground water reservoir. Then the cycle starts over and keep continuing the same process.

    The Phosphorus Cycle

    The Water Cycle- In the water cycle it consists of many different actions. The evaporation from the ocean and lakes turns into precipitation which is like rainfall and it then the rain turns into run off. After that, then run off percolates, or soaks into the ground. The run off from hills and mountains then goes into oceans, lakes, and streams. The cycle then starts all over again.

  38. hi,
    the biogeochemical cycles consist of the Nitrogen cycle, the Carbon cycle, the Phosphorus cycle, and the water cycle.

    the water cyle consits of four different actions, evaporation, precipitation, percolation and runoff. Evaporation is when water is taken from the earth, mainly the ocean, and is stored in clouds. then the water in the clouds rain and come back down to the earth and that is called precipitation. When the precipitation ends, runoff and percolation begin. Runoff goes fromthe hills to lakes and the ocean. Percolation seeps into the ground and into a reservoir. The cyle goes on to start all over again.

    the water cycle can start with evaporation from the ocean and/or transporation from plants which then condensates into clouds and from their precipitate.once that has happened then it runs off of moutains and hills and seeps into the ground and that creates ground water which is were that cycle starts all over again.

  41. Biogeochemical Cycles are:
    Carbon, Nirogen, Phosphorus, and Water.
    Phosphorus is essential because it helps form DNA and RNA. It is not common in the biosphere and remains mostly on land in rock or soil minerals and in ocean sediments. Here, it exists in the form of inorganic phosphate. As rocks and sediment wear down phosphate is released. It sometimes washes into rivers and dissolves making it eventually to the ocean where itis used by marine organisms. On land it also cycles between organisms and the soil...plants absorb it from the soil and water. The plants bind the phosphate into organic compounds which move through the food web from producers to consumers and to the rest of the ecosystem.

    the water cycle starts with evaporation. water is taken from the earth, oceans and bodies of water in particular, and stores it in clouds, and come later, it will precipitate, or rain, back down to the earth. then the runoff takes place after precipitation; this is where runoff rainwater flows down hills into oceans and other bodies of water. at the same time, the rainwater also seeps into the ground, fills the groundwater reservoir (called percolation), and the cycle begins all over again.

In the ocean, carbon is also found, along with calcium and oxygen, in calcium carbonate can also be formed chemically in certain marine environments. This chalky, carbon-based compound accumulates in marine sediments and in the bones and shells of organizms. Eventually these compounds break down and the carbon returns to the atmosphere.
