Earth Cycle

Essential Questions:

How are the rock, carbon, water cycles connected to the hydrosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere and biosphere?

    

        Earth has different kind of Cycle.Rock, Carbon, Water Cycle  they all connected each other to the Hydrosphere, Lithosphere, Atmosphere and Biosphere. The Cycle doesn't have any ending. Cycle keep going in this earth. 

          

           Hydrosphere: 

          Hydrosphere, which means water, That connected to all three cycles. By Weathering igneous rock break down into sediments, and  than erosion moves the sediments to ocean , river, lakes. The Producers also take water from groundwater, and produce O2 that call  (photosynthesis). Consumers take oxygen,than its make  carbon dioxide. After the consumer  die, decomposers break down the organism, and it become fossil fuel, the fossil is type of  sedimentary rock.  When the precipitation happen, water runoffs to soil, and goes into underground, and become groundwater. So all those cycle connected to each other and hydrosphere.

          Lithosphere:

         lithosphere means land/soil, that also connected to all three cycles. When the  precipitation happens, water runoffs and goes into  soil/land. The plant take water from underground. The Plants need those cycle to growing, and it produce oxygen, When rock structure from sedimentary rock to metamorphic rock, it happens from underground, there also include compaction and cementation. These how lithosphere connected. 

          Atmosphere: 

          Atmosphere, that means air,gas connected to all three cycles. The carbon cycle is a part of the ocean, air and rock cycle too. In the atmosphere carbon is attached to oxygen in a gas call CO2 with getting heat from sun, this process call photosynthesis.  Also  when factory burns fossil fuel it  produce CO2 into atmosphere, and that call  CO2 emission. And the sunlight also heat the water from ocean and plant. That turn into water vapor, and makes cloud, this process call condensation. Those three cycles are connected to atmosphere.

          Biosphere:

         Biosphere, which means all living thing in the earth. Consumers and Producers are living organism. They always  produce oxygen and CO2. The plants also need water and take from  groundwater to survive and growing up. And also too much hot temperature can destroy neighboring living things.So, there is also all three cycle connected to biosphere.

 How are the three cycles connected to each other?

  The Sunlight heat help to get energy, the carbon cycle stocks the energy for evaporation  thats the water cycle. From rain any kind of water form goes underground and consumers use the groundwater. Weathering breaks down the rock into sediments, and it erosion moves the sediment to ocean/rivers. Then  sediments into sedimentary rock and metamorphic rock.  Precipitation also give water to producers, that use to produce oxygen, and they exchanges CO2 from consumers. After the consumer die, they turn into fossil. Fossil is type of sedimentary rock. In conclusion, that's how all three cycles are connected to each other.
