Post-Exam 2: Wk13D2 Biogeochemical cycling

Question 1

Biogeochemical cycles

Answer 1

cycles of key chemicals for life

(think of [water, nitrogen, phosphorus, & carbon], between [rocks, soil, water, air, and living things])

Question 2

look at global hydrologic cycle

Answer 2

(there’s precipitation, condensation, transpiration, deposition, sublimation, infiltration, plant uptake, groundwater, percolation)

Question 3

evapotranspiration

Answer 3

(we changed these patterns by altering habitats, etc, in mass)

roots take up water from the soil –>
water is drawn up the stem to the leaves –>
veins carry water into the leaves –>
water evaporates from the leaves

Question 4

Monterey groundwater

Answer 4

(underneath out feet) polluting ground water, we’re drawing up water that takes 20,000 years to refill, unless we replenish it

Question 5

hydrological cycle in cali

Answer 5

look at pic
(reservoir, runoff, stream, river, treatment plant, recharge basic, irrigated agriculture, evapotranspiration, and more)

Question 6

hydrological (water) cycle

Answer 6

California is know for our water idk moving

Question 7

global nitrogen cycle

Answer 7

decomposition of detritus into ammonia, (look at the picture)
