THE WATER CYCLE Introduction: The water around us has been All the water around is has been here for many‚ many years. The reason is because the same water is just around a cycle. There are several steps in this cycle. In my opinion‚ this is a very interesting and fun project to do. Problem: What is the water cycle? Research: Water is vital for every living thing. When the Sun heats‚ it causes the water in the oceans‚ ponds‚ lakes and even puddles in the street to warm and evaporate

THE ROCK CYCLE ● ● ● ● There are three main types of rocks: igneous‚ sedimentary‚ and metamorphic. Each of these types of rocks are formed in different ways and each type of rock can be changed into the other types of rock. This process is called the Rock Cycle. The rock cycle is the process that makes and recycles rocks. IGNEOUS ROCKS ● ● ● ● ● ● Igneous rocks are formed from magma. Magma cools and solidifies into rock. When igneous rocks are exposed on the surface‚ time and weather break the

Global warming has various serious hazards‚ both on the environment as well as on human health. It results in melting of glaciers and snow-capped mountains‚ causing an increase of the water levels in seas and rivers‚ thereby increasing the chances of

The Calvin Cycle Plants use energy from the sun in tiny energy factories called chloroplasts. Using chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis‚ they convert the sun’s energy into storable form in ordered sugar molecules such as glucose. In this way‚ carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil in a more disordered state are combined to form the more ordered sugar molecules. Carbon dioxide is captured in a cycle of reactions known as the Calvin cycle or the Calvin-Benson cycle after its

The earth has a limited amount of water.That water keeps going around and around and around in what we call the "Water cycle".It is the only way that Earth can be continually supplied with fresh water.The sun is the most important part of renewing our water supply.It can be solid (ice)‚a liquid (water)‚ or gas (water vapor). Water on earth is always changing. How do these changes happen? It is made up of a few main parts:evaporation (and transpiration)‚condensation and precipitation. Evaporation

KREBS CYCLE It refers to a complex series of chemical reactions that produce carbon dioxide and Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)‚ a compound rich in energy. The cycle occurs by essentially linking two carbon coenzyme with carbon compounds; the created compound then goes through a series of changes that produce energy. This cycle occurs in all cells that utilize oxygen as part of their respiration process. It occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria in the presence of CO2.Pyruvic acid diffuses from
