Carbon Oxygen Cyclethe continual process of transferring carbon between Earth's living organisms and Earth's geological elements
CarbonThis element is found in all organic life
Photosynthesisthe process by which carbon dioxide is converted into carbohydrates
Cellular Respirationthe process by which animals break down glucose into carbon dioxide and water
Nitrogen Cyclethe pathway for the movement of the nitrogen among Earth's organism
Denitrificationthe process by which bacteria convert nitrate back to Nitrogen
Nitrogen Fixationa process whereby certain soil bacteria break down nitrogen and nitrogen found in in dead organic matter and convert it to wither nitrate or ammonia
Phosphorous CycleOne of the slowest biogeochemical cycle
Hydrologic CycleAnother name for the water cycle
Water Cyclethe continous circulation of water between earth's organisms, atmoshere and surface
PrecipitationTe process by which water return to the surface (rain. sleet, snow--etc)
TranspirationThe process by which plants gives off water to the atmosphere
EvaporationThe process by which surface liquid water is converted from a liquid to a gas
