Water Cycle:
1. It is stored in the ground.
2. Evaporation, transportation, precipitation
3. Runoff comes straight from precipitation. Infiltration is from the ground while run off never went in the ground.
4. It will usually end up in the same place, the ocean
5. Water levels rise, temperatures rise, CO2 in atmosphere increases
Carbon Cycle:
1. Carbon is important because it is one of the basic building blocks of life.
2. Trees, animals, grass, decomposition, combustion, fossil fuels
3. Carbon enters as photosynthesis.
4. Carbon enters water to the soil decomposition. Aquatic plants have plenty of water to work with, so their main challenge is getting enough sunlight and air.
6. By breathing in the oxygen from plants.
7. Two ways carbon return from animals into water is through cellular respiration and decomposition.
8. Combustion is when we dig up the fossil fuel and burn it, then what is left goes into the air starting the cycle again.
9. Deforestation reduces the capacity of forests to be carbon sinks.
Nitrogen Cycle:
1. Nitrogen is important because it helps us grow crops, and it produces grass for animal.
2. It comes from lightning and is named nitrogen fixation.
3. Ammonification and then transitions into nitrification and then to assimilation.
Phosphorus Cycle:
1. It forms part of life sustaining molecules like DNA and RNA.
2. Phosphorus is never found in the atmosphere.
The correct answer is option (d) atmosphere.
Fossil fuels are the hydrocarbons formed in the geological past, derived from the remains of dead plants and animals. They include the coal, fuel gas and the natural gas. The burning of fossil fuels is one of the greatest contributor of carbon dioxide being added to the atmosphere. This results in the pollution of air in the atmosphere resulting in the formation of smog. Carbon dioxide being a green house gas, affects the atmosphere and causes green house effect leading to global warming and climate changes.
The burning of fossil fuels affects the geosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere indirectly due to its primary direct effect on the atmosphere. Thus, atmosphere is directly affected by the burning of fossil fuels.
Answer:
a. Trisomic
Explanation:
A trisomy is a genomic phenomenon whereby a particular chromosome is present in three copies. In this case, the trisomy involves the chromosome P, being this species a tetraploid with 5 pairs of homologous chromosomes (2n = 10). In humans, the trisomy for chromosome 21 is one of the most common types of aneuploidies that lead to the Down syndrome by producing alterations in gene expression patterns that are associated with changes in the phenotype
Warm fronts often bring stormy weather as the warm air mass at the surface rises above the cool air mass, making clouds and storms. Warm fronts move more slowly than cold fronts because it is more difficult for the warm air to push the cold, dense air across the Earth's surface.
