Hydrological Cycle Hydrological cycle is the process that involves the continuous circulation of water in the Earth-atmosphere system. The hydrologic cycle is a conceptual model that describes the storage and movement of water between the biosphere‚ atmosphere‚ lithosphere‚ and the hydrosphere. Water on our planet can be stored in any one of the following major reservoirs: atmosphere‚ oceans‚ lakes‚ rivers‚ soils‚ glaciers‚ snowfields‚ and groundwater. Water moves from one reservoir to another by

The Brayton Cycle (Jet Engine) Purpose and Objective: The purpose and objective of this experiment is to understand the basic operation of a brayton cycle also to demonstrate the application of basic equations for Brayton cycle analysis. Technical Background: The Brayton cycle depicts the air standard model of a gas turbine power cycle and is used in all applications involving turbine engines; such as jet engines. A simple gas turbine is comprised of three

The water cycle is also known as the hydrologic cycle. The water cycle describes the movement of water on‚ above and below the surface of Earth. Water can change states through the stages of the water cycle. Water can change from a solid to a liquid to water vapor in various places of the water cycle. Water moves from one lake to another‚ just like from an ocean to the atmosphere. Water travels by different processes of evaporation‚ condensation‚ precipitation‚ infiltration‚ runoff and subsurface

The Processes of the nitrogen cycle Nitrogen fixation Atmospheric nitrogen must be processed‚ or "fixed" (see page on nitrogen fixation)‚ in order to be used by plants. Some fixation occurs in lightning strikes‚ but most fixation is done by free-living or symbiotic bacteria. These bacteria have the nitrogenase enzyme that combines gaseous nitrogen with hydrogen to produce ammonia‚ which is then further converted by the bacteria to make their own organic compounds. Some nitrogen fixing bacteria‚ such

The communication Cycle It involves people sending and receiving messages. We all communicate or send messages continuously. 1. A person has an idea. 2. They code their message(using words or non-verbal means) 3. They send their messages to someone else (e.gg by speaking) 4. A second person then receives the message (e.g. by hearing what has been said or by noticing non-verbal communication) 5. The second person decodes the message. 6. The message is understood. Once the original message has been

The cell cycle‚ or cell-division cycle‚ is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication that produces two daughter cells. In cells without a nucleus‚ the cell cycle occurs via a process termed binary fission. In cells with a nucleus‚ the cell cycle can be divided in three periods: interphase—during which the cell grows‚ accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis preparing it for cell division and duplicating its DNA—and the mitotic phase‚ during which the

The Cycle of Violence Many issues of domestic violence relate to the three stages of the Cycle of Violence: tension building‚ explosion‚ and the honeymoon phase. All of them are related to some form of abuse‚ which could include: verbal‚ psychological‚ emotional‚ financial‚ physical‚ sexual or spiritual abuse. Many times‚ the cycle repeats‚ without anything ever being done‚ because the person who is being hurt‚ forgives the batterer every time. This is due to denial‚ as the victim believes that

Cardiac Cycle The cardiac cycle describes the coordinated and rhythmic series of muscular contractions associated with the normal heart beat. The cardiac cycle can be subdivided into two major phases‚ the systolic phase and the diastolic phase. Systole occurs when the ventricles of the heart contract. Accordingly‚ systole results in the highest pressures within the systemic and pulmonary circulatory systems. Diastole is the period between ventricular contractions when the right and left ventricles

rock cycle operates. How do rocks metamorphose at destructive plate boundary? Rock cycle is a cycle that describes how rocks are transformed. Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock. Besides‚ metamorphism at the destructive plate boundaries creates different characteristics of rocks. Operation of the rock cycle The Rock Cycle
