    The document provides information about the hydrologic (water) cycle, carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, and phosphorus cycle. It lists key terms for each cycle and requires the reader to sketch and color the components of each cycle while defining the terms. It also poses questions about each cycle, such as the percentage of Earth's water, how humans influence the water cycle, what limestone is, how nitrogen enters soil and why it is often limiting for plant growth, how phosphorus affects aquatic ecosystems, and how the phosphorus cycle differs from the carbon and nitrogen cycles.

    HYDROLOGIC (WATER) CYCLE:

    Sketch and color the key components of the Water cycle: Coloring is required.

    Define and apply the following terms in your drawing. Each words meaning needs to be evident in your sketch.
    1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Evaporation Transpiration Condensation Precipitation Infiltration 6. Percolation 7. Surface Run-off 8. Ground water 9. Watershed

    1) Why is water so special? 2) What % of Earth is water? % freshwater? % frozen (glaciers and icecaps)? % groundwater? % rivers, lakes, streams? 3) How do humans influence the water cycle?

    THE CARBON CYCLE


    Sketch and color the key components of the Carbon cycle: Coloring is required.

    Define and apply the following terms in your drawing. Each words meaning needs to be evident in your sketch.

    3. 4.
    5. 6. 7.

    Volcanic action Combustion (of wood, fossil fuels...) Burial and compaction Atmospheric CO2 Consumers Decomposers Producers

    8. Photosynthesis 9. Respiration 10. CO2 dissolved in oceans 11. Dissolved carbonate and bicarbonate 12. Carbon in sediments 13. Weathering

    What is limestone?

    How can limestone be made in the oceans, and how can it be worn away on land?

    THE NITROGEN CYCLE


    Sketch and color the key components of the Nitrogen Cycle: Coloring is required.

    Define and apply the following terms in your drawing. Each words meaning needs to be evident in your sketch.
    1. 2. 3. Nitrogen Fixing bacteria (in legumes and soil) Assimilation Ammonification Nitrification Denitrification Animals Plants non legumes Plants legumes 9. Root nodule 10. Decomposers 11. Bacteria 12. NH3 and NH4 13. NO314. N2 15. DNA, proteins 15. Human activity N fixation + Use

    4. 5. 6.
    7. 8.

    How does nitrogen naturally and artificially get into soil? Why is nitrogen often a limiting factor in plant growth?

    THE PHOSPHORUS CYCLE


    Sketch and color the key components of the Phosphorus Cycle: Coloring is required.

    Define and apply the following terms in your drawing. Each words meaning needs to be evident in your sketch.
    1. 2. 3. 4. Phosphate in rocks, fossils, guano Phosphate fertilizers Phosphate in plants Phosphate in animals 5. Decomposers 6. Phosphate dissolved in soil, rivers, etc. 7. Phosphate in ocean sediments 8. Weathering

    How can phosphorus affect aquatic ecosystems? What is anthropogenic eutrophication? How does the P cycle differ from the C and N cycle?
