Cycles
Water, Nitrogen, and Carbon
Water Cycle
There are 6 steps in this cycle. Evaporation goes to condensation, and then to precipitation. Transpiration can also go to condensation, and then to precipitation. After precipitation, it goes to accumulation.
Nitrogen Cycle
The nitrogen cycle has a few steps. After an animal deposits waste, decomposers break it down. This is called ammonification. Another way to get to ammonification is through nitrogen fixation. After that, the nitrogen particles are sent back into the atmosphere through both assimilation and donitrification.
Water Cycle
We need this cycle for the replenishment of water. This gives us theoretically an unlimited amount of water.
Nitrogen Cycle
We need the nitrogen cycle because it is in the air that we breathe. It is necessary for survival.
Carbon Cycle
The carbon cycle is needed because carbon dioxide acts as a blanket for the earth for heat.
Carbon Cycle
The carbon cycle has only a few steps. First factories emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which is then kept as a "blanket" for us. After that, plants take in that carbon dioxide to give us back oxygen for us to live. It is also put back into the soil after we die to be given back to the factories.
