What are four examples of bio geochemical cycles?

1. Biological Processes2. Geological Processes3. Chemical and Physical Processes4. Human ActivityThe biological processes like respiration, the geological processes like volcanic eruptions. Also there are the chemical/physical processes like rain, and lastly the human processes like the burning of fossil fuels.


Why are cycles in biosphere called biogeochemical cycles?

Water, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen are what make up the biogeochemical cycles. Since all of these elements occur naturally in the environment these biogeochemical cycles are considered to be sustainable.


Main constituent of bio gas is?

Methane is the answer, By the destructive distillation of coal, we can obtain coal gas, coal tar and ammonia. Coke is left as a residue. Coal gas contains methane, carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Since all the three are combustible, coal gas is a good fuel with a high calorific value.


Why are fossils fuels considered to be organic?

Fossil fuels are made of carbon from dead plants, which sank to the bottom of swamps during the Carboniferous Period, turning into fossil fuels. Fossil fuels contain carbon because the dead plants that decayed were once part of the carbon cycle, so they consist of carbon. So when the carbon is burned it pollutes the atmosphere. It does not pollute the atmosphere in a fashion most people think. Carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) goes into the atmostphere prevent heat from escaping. This in turn warms the atmosphere, creating what we know as global warming. What most people do not know is that the warming that is caused, causes water to evaporate into a form called water vapor. Water vapor acts as a greenhouse gas, causing the Earth to heat up. This in turn places the world in a cycle of warming. I know this is more than you asked for. I am studying the subject in bio, so I thought I'd give you the full scoop.


Is oxygen supplied to the atmosphere by ozone?

No, oxygen is primarily supplied to the atmosphere through photosynthesis by plants and other photosynthetic organisms. Ozone is a molecule made up of three oxygen atoms and is found in the Earth's stratosphere, where it plays a crucial role in absorbing ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

What do the word parts in biogeochemical cycle mean?

The biogeochemical cycle refers to the cycling of elements by the geosphere as well as by the biosphere. For example, there is a biological carbon cycle whereby carbon is sequestered by plants in the form of sugars as well as a geochemical cycle whereby carbon is sequestered by minerals in the form of carbonates.


What cycles through the environment due to the flow of energy in ecosystems?

There are multiple things being cycled through the ecosystem at all times. One of the most known would be the energy cycle, going from the sun to plants to 1st consumers to 2nd consumers to third consumers... However, there are others like oxygen cycle, and H20 cycle (water cycle), and nitrogen cycle.


A pathway by which a chemical element or molecule moves through both biotic and abiotic compartments of an ecosystem?

The pathway you're referring to is known as a biogeochemical cycle. In these cycles, elements or molecules move through living organisms (biotic components) and the non-living environment (abiotic components), such as the atmosphere, soil, and water. Examples include the carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, and water cycle.


Are the nitrogen carbon and water cycles bio-geochemical cycles?

Yes, the nitrogen, carbon, and water cycles are all examples of biogeochemical cycles. These cycles involve the movement and transformation of elements between living organisms, the atmosphere, and the environment.


Are bio-molecules organic or inorganic?

Bio-molecules are organic compounds because they are primarily composed of carbon atoms bonded with other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur and phosphorus. In contrast, inorganic compounds do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds.


Why is bio-diesel considered an alternative fuel?

Bio-diesel is not a fossil fuel, rather it is manufactured from vegetation and algae, so any carbon dioxide it emits when burnt is part of the carbon cycle and does not add to global warming.This is why it is an alternative to fossil fuels.
