CARBON CYCLE

# data[].attributes.body
El carbono en la atmósfera está presente en forma de dióxido de carbono. El carbono ingresa a la atmósfera a través de procesos naturales como la respiración y aplicaciones industriales como la quema de combustibles fósiles. El proceso de fotosíntesis implica la absorción de CO2 por parte de las plantas para producir carbohidratos.

What are the 4 steps of the carbon cycle?

# data[].attributes.body
El carbono entra a la atmósfera en forma de CO2.

El CO2 es absorbido por organismos autótrofos como las plantas verdes.

Los animales consumen plantas, incorporando así carbono a su sistema.

Los animales y las plantas mueren, sus cuerpos se descomponen y el carbono se reabsorbe en la atmósfera.

El ciclo hidrológico (hy-druh-LAHJ-ihk), también conocido como

El ciclo del agua es el camino circular del agua en la Tierra desde la atmósfera hasta la superficie, bajo tierra y de regreso. Parte de ese camino implica

humanos y otros organismos, todos los cuales tienen cuerpos compuestos principalmente de agua.

Vocabulary importante:

1. Evaporación

El sol es la principal fuente de energía e impulsa la mayor parte de la evaporación que ocurre en la Tierra. La evaporación generalmente ocurre cuando las moléculas de agua en la superficie de los cuerpos de agua se excitan y se elevan en el aire.

2. Sublimación

La sublimación ocurre cuando la nieve o el hielo se transforman directamente en vapor de agua sin convertirse en agua.

3. Condensación

El vapor de agua que se acumula en la atmósfera eventualmente se enfría debido a las bajas temperaturas que se encuentran en las grandes altitudes.

4. Precipitación

Por encima de los 0 grados centígrados, los vapores se condensarán en gotas de agua.

Water cycle, cycle that involves the continuous circulation of water in the Earth-atmosphere system. Of the many processes involved in the water cycle, the most important are evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. The total amount of water remains essentially constant.

Carbon is the foundation of all life on Earth, required to form complex molecules like proteins and DNA. This element is also found in our atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon helps to regulate the Earth's temperature, makes all life possible, is a key ingredient in the food that sustains us, and provides a major source of the energy to fuel our global economy.

The carbon cycle describes the process in which carbon atoms continually travel from the atmosphere to the Earth and then back into the atmosphere. Since our planet and its atmosphere form a closed environment, the amount of carbon in this system does not change. Where the carbon is located - in the atmosphere or on Earth - is constantly in flux.

On Earth, most carbon is stored in rocks and sediments, while the rest is located in the ocean, atmosphere, and in living organisms. These are the reservoirs, or sinks, through which carbon cycles.

Carbon is released back into the atmosphere when organisms die, volcanoes erupt, fires blaze, fossil fuels are burned, and through a variety of other mechanisms.

In the case of the ocean, carbon is continually exchanged between the ocean's surface waters and the atmosphere, or is stored for long periods of time in the ocean depths.

Humans play a major role in the carbon cycle through activities such as the burning of fossil fuels or land development. As a result, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is rapidly rising; it is already considerably greater than at any time in the last 3.6 million years.

Video Transcript

What is the carbon cycle? Carbon is the chemical backbone of all life on Earth. All of the carbon we currently have on Earth is the same amount we have always had. When new life is formed, carbon forms key molecules like protein and DNA. It's also found in our atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide or CO2. The carbon cycle is nature's way of reusing carbon atoms, which travel from the atmosphere into organisms in the Earth and then back into the atmosphere over and over again. Most carbon is stored in rocks and sediments, while the rest is stored in the ocean, atmosphere, and living organisms. These are the reservoirs, or sinks, through which carbon cycles. The ocean is a giant carbon sink that absorbs carbon. Marine organisms from marsh plants to fish, from seaweed to birds, also produce carbon through living and dying. Over millions of years, dead organisms can become fossil fuels. When humans burn these fuels for energy, vast amounts of carbon dioxide are released back into the atmosphere. This excess carbon dioxide changes our climate - increasing global temperatures, causing ocean acidification, and disrupting the planet's ecosystems.
