    Study Notes

    Carbon Cycle

    • 0.039% of air is carbon dioxide.
    • Carbon atoms from carbon dioxide are used by plants to produce glucose through photosynthesis.
    • Glucose is used as fuel by cells in plants and animals through cellular respiration, producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
    • Carbon dioxide is returned to the air through cellular respiration and decomposition of dead plants and animals.

    Fossil Fuels

    • Dead plants and animals can be stored for long periods in places with limited oxygen, such as marshes and deep seabeds.
    • Over time, these remains can become fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, which have been stored in the ground for millions of years.
    • Burning fossil fuels releases a large amount of carbon dioxide into the air.

    Water Cycle

    • The water cycle, or hydrological cycle, is the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the Earth's surface.
    • The cycle involves evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, percolation, and surface storage.
    • The water cycle is essential for distributing freshwater across the planet, sustaining life, and regulating climate patterns.

    Water Facts

    • If the Earth were the size of an apple, no ocean would be deeper than the apple's skin.
    • 98% of the Earth's water is saltwater in the oceans, while 2% is freshwater.
    • Most freshwater occurs as ice at the North and South Poles, with the rest forming lakes, rivers, and groundwater.

    Nitrogen Cycle

    • The nitrogen cycle is the process by which nitrogen is converted between its various chemical forms.
    • The cycle involves nitrogen fixation, assimilation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification.
    • Nitrogen is converted between atmospheric nitrogen, ammonia, nitrate ions, and other forms through the actions of bacteria, plants, and animals.
