Chapter 3 continued: Nutrient Cycle
Nitrogen Cycle:
Nitrogen, Ammonium, Nitrates, Nitrites, Ammonia
Mostly atmosphere
Steps: Nitrification, assimilation, ammonification, denitrification.
Humans both positively and negatively impact by using.
Positive: Farming
Negative: fossil fuels, pollution, soil acidification.
Mircoorganisms are involves it drives the cycle.
It is unique because it is uniquely nitrogen.
Introduce great qualities into agriculture
Acid rain
Phosphorus Cycle:
Organic phosphorus.
Weathering of geologic materials.
Trapped in rocks then water then algae and then mine.
Human impacts are fertilizer run off, and eutrophication (algal blooms).
Mostly lithosphere
Carbon Cycle:
CO2 in plants and the ocean
Photosynthesis
Breathing
burning fossil fuels
Dying/decaying
Volcanc
Human impacts:
Humans breathe out CO2
Fossil fuels
Limestone into cement
Mostly atmosphere
Sulfur Cycle:
Mostly comes from volcanos, factories, and sea spray
Atmosphere
Comes back down
Plants and soil
Animals eat
Acid rain
Wetlands-Sulfur
Mining leads to acid mine drainage
Human impacts
Mining
Burning fossil fuels
Factories burnn
