Water Cycle | Cycle of Life (it moves us all) | CO2 cycle | Nutrient Mineral Cycles | Spheres of environment |
---|---|---|---|---|
Evaporation
When water goes from a liquid to a gas up into the sky we call that...
|
Apex Predator or tertiary consumer
The most dominant meat eater in any environment
|
CO2
When humans breath OUT we exhale what
|
We would not be able to make new cells
What would happen if we didn't get access to nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorous
|
Desert
This biosphere is very dry and while often hot, can be very cold.
|
The water table
Beneath the ground you can find water. What do we call that level of water.
|
Producers
The first step in the circle of life (plants and algae)
|
Plants and Algae
What type of living thing breathes in co2
|
Abiotic
What do we call the part of our world that includes the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere
|
Rivers or streams
This biosphere is has fast moving water with no salt in it.
|
True
True or false when water evaporates it leaves behind everything that isn't H2O.
|
Decomposer
These creatures return bodies of the other consumers and producers to the earth by breaking them down.
|
in the atmosphere and the ocean and trees and fossil fuels.
Where is C02 stored
|
Phosphorus
This element has a stone reservoir, and we can ONLY get it by eating plants which drank it up to grow.
|
Temperate Rain Forrest
This Biosphere is often very wet AND COOL
|
they would all stop
What would happen to the movement of minerals and to the life on earth if water stopped flowing
|
Primary Consumer
This animal eats plants only
|
Climate change by trapping heat in our atmosphere.
What is CO2 helping to cause on our planet
|
Sulfur
This element has a fossil / fuel rock reservoir. It enters the atmosphere when burned and rains back down as acid rain.
|
Chaparral
This biosphere has short plant growth, little soil, and is typically high in elevation.
|
Downhill
Water always flows in what direction
|
Secondary Consumer
This animal eats other animals... but also gets eaten by bigger and stronger predators.
|
you would die
what would happen if you tried to breath in 100% CO2
|
Nitrogen
This element has an gas atmospheric reservoir. In order for humans to get it first bacteria eat it, then plants suck up the bacteria and we eat it. it causes massive algae blooms
|
Estuaries
This biosphere is found on the edge of salt water oceans. There are five types.
