Life on Earth has existed for
billions
of
years
View source
Recycling
on Earth includes
molecules
like
water
and
carbon dioxide
, as well as
individual atoms
like
nitrogen
,
phosphorus
, and
carbon
View source
Atoms can be used
repeatedly
to create various
organisms
over
millions
of years
View source
An estimated
six octillion
atoms inside a person have been
recycled
from
oceans
,
volcanoes
, other
animals
, and even other
humans
View source
Water
Cycle
View source
Energy
from the
sun
causes
water
to
evaporate
from various sources like
lakes
,
oceans
,
rivers
,
puddles
,
soil
, and
plant leaves
(
transpiration
)
View source
Evaporated
water vapor accumulates in the sky and
condenses
into
clouds
, which eventually lead to
precipitation
(rain)
View source
Precipitated water
can
seep
into the
soil
, flow into
rivers
, or be
taken
up by
plants
,
completing
the
cycle
View source
Carbon
Cycle
View source
Carbon is stored in the air as
carbon dioxide
, in plants as
biological molecules
, in the soil with
bacteria
and
microorganisms
, in
fossil fuels underground
, and in animals as
biological molecules
View source
Photosynthesis
is a crucial process where green plants and algae
convert
carbon dioxide into biological molecules like
glucose
View source
Carbon can be released back into the atmosphere through
respiration
or passed on to
animals
that
consume plants
View source
When plants and animals die,
carbon
can be released through
microbial respiration
in the
soil
or converted into
fossil fuels
in
anaerobic
conditions
View source
Fossil fuels
can be
burned
by humans to produce
carbon dioxide
,
closing
the
carbon cycle
