PEE 2m
is an important biogeochemical cycle because it provides water for all living organisms and regulates weather on Earth.
WATER CYCLE
is the process where, water is constantly being cycled between the atmosphere, the ocean and the land.
WATER CYCLE
is the process where water changes from its liquid state to gaseous state (water vapor).
EVAPORATION
is a process of evaporation through plant
Transpiration
Some water evaporates from the leaves and added to the amount of water vapor.
Transpiration
These millions of droplets of suspended water form clouds in the sky or fog at ground level
CONDENSATION
occurs when water vapor (gas) is changed into liquid.
CONDENSATION
The raindrops fall to Earth.
PRECIPITATION
When the temperature and atmospheric pressure are right, the small droplets of water in clouds form larger droplets and precipitation occurs
PRECIPITATION
is a process where water runs off the land surface and flows downhill and returns again to the oceans, where great deal of evaporation occurs.
SURFACE RUNOFF
is a process where water infiltrates into the soil and underlying rock layers.
INFILTRATION
is the biogeochemical cycle that describes the movement of phosphorus through the geosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere.
PHOSPHORUS CYCLE
It is essential in nucleotide formation and cell phospholipid membrane. It is found in bones and teeth as calcium phosphate and used in the production of ATP
PHOSPHORUS
is an important chemical element with symbol P and usually found in nature as phosphate.
PHOSPHORUS
breaks down rock, phosphorus will now travel to the soil and water system.
weathering
is the breakdown of rocks by the action of rain, extreme temperature and other biological activity.
weathering
The first step in this cycle is the extraction of phosphorus, from rocks
weathering
Phosphorus can also travel to bodies of water. Animals can also obtain phosphorus from drinking water and eating plants exposed to phosphorus.
ABSORPTION
Once the phosphorus travels to the soil, living organisms can now absorb phosphorus and use it for growth.
ABSORPTION
Some compounds with phosphorus or wastes of marine organisms that sinks in to the ocean floor will stored phosphorus in sediments and becomes rock and the cycle continues.
DECOMPOSITION
When animals die, bacteria convert the organic phosphorus to inorganic phosphorus in a process called mineralization to be used by plants.
DECOMPOSITION
When animals excrete waste, decomposers are able to use the phosphorus from the waste material.
