I will start by describing the carbon cycle and how elements of my lifestyle impact the cycle. Photosynthesis converts the Carbon dioxide gas that exists in the atmosphere and in dissolved water to organic carbon. Organic carbon is brought back into carbon dioxide gas by a process called respiration. There are sources of organic carbon underground in the form of fossil fuels‚ human emissions and volcanic activity brings the stored carbon back into the cycle. As a human being who feed‚ move‚ breath

The business cycle is like a roller coaster and this roller coaster definitely has its dips and peaks. In the cycle there are expansionary periods‚ peaks‚ downturns‚ and troughs. Each one is part of and essential in the cycle. Like a roller coaster you will go up and reach a peak and then you will have to drop. Although just because you drop does not mean you will reach the lowest point of the ride. Just like a coaster the business cycle has its high peaks and plunging drops. So lets start the

The rock cycle involves of a chain of continual progressions through which earth materials change from one form to another over time. Some processes in the rock cycle happen over millions of years and others occur much more quickly. There is no real starting or completion to the rock cycle; however‚ it may be appropriate to begin investigating the rock cycle with magma (Bergman 2005). Magma‚ or molten rock‚ forms only at certain locations within the earth‚ mostly along plate boundaries. Magma crystallizes

Nitrogen cycle Nitrogen gas is a colourless‚ odourless and non-toxic gas which makes up about 78 percent of the atmosphere. Nitrogen is extremely important to living material; in fact plants‚ animals and humans could not live without it. Sprent (1987) argued that nitrogen cycle is the most important process to living organisms after the carbon cycle. But nitrogen exists as dinitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere‚ which living things‚ particularly plants‚ cannot synthesize (citation) The process of nitrogen

A cycle is defined as any complete round or series of occurrences that repeats or is repeated in the same order and at the same intervals. The natural existence of cycles is highly important without cycles resources would run out and organisms would die. The amount of carbon nitrogen and oxygen on the earth is fixed‚ they can exists in different forms but no more may be added. So that these don’t run out they are cycles so they may be reused. Photosynthesis and respiration are the reverse of each
