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.
Do Bio Fuels release sulfur dioxide?
Yes. I do not like using links from companies related to the biofuels industry, but in this case, I could not find any other information on the internet about how much sulfur dioxide is released from burning biofuels. It does get complicated, as there are all types of biofuels. The biofuels are reported as contributing much less air pollutants than diesel or gasoline, but they are not carbon (or sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide) neutral or zero emissions.
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.
When can you describe ethanol as a bio-fuel?
We can describe ethanol as a biofuel after the sugar has been fermented. It then gives off a greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, when burnt. However, the sugar cane absorbs the gas during photosynthesis.
Is the nitrogen cycle is a bio cycle?
yes

Are the nitrogen carbon and water cycles bio-geochemical cycles?
Biological cycles ;-)
Do scientist classify nitrogen carbon and water cycles as bio geochemical cycles?
Biological
What are the four cycles?
4 Bio chemical cycles are Nitrogen,oxygen,corbon,and phousphorous cycle.

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.
What element forms the structural basis of all bio molecules?
Carbon, though theoretically Silicon could work too, and in reality, we have found Arsenic based life
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.
