Name: ______Water Cycle and Carbon Cycle Notes

Using the web link below define the following processes of the water cycle.

Condensation:

Precipitation:

Surface Runoff:

Infiltration:

Evaporation:

Transpiration:

Use this link to find an animation about the water cycle. In your group, create a diagram of the water cycle below. You diagram must include the following:

All the components of the water cycle from above

Drawings to represent each phase of the water cycle

Watch this important video…wait for the end…

Using the web link below answer the following questions of the Carbon-Oxygen cycle.

What are the three ways that carbon dioxide (CO2) is created?

Through what process does CO2 get converted to something else? (look at the tree)

What does CO2 get converted to? (2 things…only one is on the diagram…the other you have to guess from what you have learned before!)

Please draw your own version of the C-O cycle below. (Include these words Decomposition, Combustion, Photosynthesis, Respiration) You can use

To help you find what these terms are if you don’t know already…

Using the following web link below, define the following types of succession.

Primary Succession:

Secondary Succession

Click on the links below and watch the videos

What is the loud bang you hear in the video?

Using this link answer the following questions about the stages of Primary Succession.

What does the ecosystem start out as?

What is Stage 1 for Primary succession?

  • What is colonizing the lava rocks? Draw a picture

What is Stage 2 for Primary Succession? What are their characteristics?

  • What is the Lichen doing to the rocks?

What is stage 3 for Primary Succession?

What is the 4th stage for Primary Succession

  • What was term used for the forest 300 years ago?

Draw your own diagram of primary succession occurring and include each of the steps

Using the following link watch the video and answer the following questions about SECONDARY SUCCESSION(you might want to mute it after the first few seconds…unless you really love The Lion King)

What happens first?

Did the biotic factors already exist?

What is the major difference between primary succession and Secondary Succession?
