Water Cycle

From liquid to gas
Back to Earth as a liquid
Moves into the ground

The water cycle
Oceans, atmosphere, and land
Solid, liquid, gas

Water is on land
Evaporate the water
Now it’s in the sky

Water in the sky
Condensates into the rain
Then the rain falls down

From oceans to sky
Solid to liquid to gas
Water changes form

Water dissipates
It condenses in the air
Then back to the earth

Carbon Cycle

Photosynthesis
CO2 in atmosphere
Turns into glucose

Carbon dioxide
Goes through photosynthesis
Out it respirates

​Photosynthesis
Carbon cycle, fossil fuels
Volcanic gasses
​

Nitrogen Cycle

Nitrogen Cycle
Gas turns into solid form
And vice versa too

Comes from atmosphere
Builds protein and DNA
Fungi convert it

Gas to ammonia  
Lots of reused nitrogen
Fungi changes it

All organisms
Need it to build their proteins
This cycle is key

Fungi on the roots
Convert gas into solid
That is N fixate

---

Phosphorus Cycle

Water and soil
Rocks release phosphate ions
Phosphate runs through soil

Has no gaseous forms
Found in soil and minerals
Travels through water

Not in atmosphere
Phosphorus is a solid
In ground and water

Runoff and leaching
Does not use the atmosphere
Can limit the growth
