Explicación
Condensation is vapor turning to liquid; infiltration is water seeping; runoff is surface flow.
Evaporation is water cycle; sedimentation is burial; nitrification is nitrogen process.
rocks store the largest amount.
Photosynthesis absorbs CO2; respiration releases it; fermentation is microbe-specific.
Phosphorus cycle centers on phosphorus, not nitrogen, carbon, or water flow.
Nitrification converts ammonia, ammonification releases ammonium; denitrification returns N2.
Nitrifying bacteria oxidize ammonia; cyanobacteria fix nitrogen in some contexts; legumes host Rhizobium.
Evaporation is liquid to vapor; infiltration is soil uptake; sublimation is solid to vapor.
Phosphorus cycle has sedimentation; oxygen cycle involves O2/ozone; water cycle is hydrology.
Phosphorus is not present as a significant atmospheric component.
Nitrification makes nitrate; assimilation incorporates N into biomass; ammonification releases ammonium.
Respiration and decomposition release CO2; combustion releases CO2; photosynthesis consumes CO2.
Most liquid fresh water is in rivers and lakes; ice stores the majority of freshwater globally.
Phosphorus erosion converts organic P to inorganic phosphate.
Oxygen is consumed in respiration; CO2 is the main byproduct returned.
Weathering releases phosphorus; fixation incorporates it into soils; other terms are nitrogen-related.
Plants primarily absorb nitrate/ammonium, produced by fixation or mineralization, not direct N2.
Phosphorus often comes from phosphate rocks released by weathering; carbon/oxygen not directly.
Biomass, litter, and decomposition couple cycles across reservoirs.
Infiltration seeps; percolation deeper; runoff surface flow.
All cycles interact, but burial in sediments is a carbon cycle feature.
N2 gas is inert; plants absorb NH4+ or NO3- from soils.
Fertilizers add reactive nitrogen; phosphorus also affected but less by global fertilizer per se.
Phosphate (PO4^3-) is the bioavailable form; others are less common or incorrect.
Nitrification oxidizes ammonium to nitrite/nitrate; assimilation incorporates N into biomass.
The hydrological cycle concerns water movement; other cycles focus on nutrients.
Nitrifiers oxidize nitrogen; Rhizobium fix N2 in symbiosis with legumes.
Phosphorus is released from rocks via weathering and transported by erosion.
Photosynthesis removes CO2; decomposition releases CO2.
Fossil fuel formation involves long-term carbon storage; others are not primary.
P is classic limiter; in some contexts N can limit too.
Definition of hydrological cycle; others focus on nutrients.
Plants primarily absorb phosphate; others are less available.
Decomposition releases phosphorus back into mineral forms.
Air-ocean CO2 exchange is a fast component of the carbon cycle.
Condensation forms clouds; transpiration is plant loss; runoff is surface flow.
Plants and animals contribute, but microbes drive decomposition.
N availability strongly controls soil fertility; others are less direct.
Respiration, decomposition consume O2; photosynthesis releases O2.
All cycles involve exchange, but carbon cycle centers on CO2 and O2.
Nitrification forms nitrate; assimilation incorporates N into biomass.
Weathering releases phosphorus from rocks into soils/water.
Nitrogen fixation and nitrification are soil-to-plant but assimilation is uptake into biomass.
Ammonification makes ammonium; assimilation uses N in biomass.
Fertilizers alter nitrogen forms; phosphorus and carbon are influenced differently.
