This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Stream 2 Group P Sean's Alterations, The process by which nitrogen is converted between its various chemical forms. The majority of Earth's atmosphere (approximately 78%) is nitrogen ???? The Nitrogen (N) Cycle, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Water, & Carbon Dioxide The Earth's Atmosphere (N,O2, H2O & CO2), Do atmospheric cycles exist? What are they? What is the Water cycle?, The Earth's Atmosphere (N,O2, H2O & CO2) ???? Do atmospheric cycles exist? What are they?, What are the effects of tectonic plate activity Magnetic Stripping Magnetic Reversal Magnetic Fields, Earth cools, leads to polar ice and Equatorial desserts Decreased temperatures reduces evaporation/precipitation Rain/Precipitation, Increase in CO2 warms the surface through heat retention (greenhouse effect) ???? The Greenhouse Effect, What is the carbon (CO2) cycle? the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth, Earth cools, leads to polar ice and Equatorial desserts Decreased temperatures reduces evaporation/precipitation By keeping temperatures low it prevents gasses from reaching escape velocity, Mountains ???? Creation Of Mountains And Volcanoes, Magnetic Fields Deflects solar winds - protects the Earth from cosmic rays that would strip away the upper atmosphere, including the ozone layer that protects the earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Prevents the erosion of the atmosphere, Do atmospheric cycles exist? What are they? What is the carbon (CO2) cycle?, Layer of Gases Nitrogen, Oxygen, Water, & Carbon Dioxide, How does tectonic plate activity on Earth help regulate its atmosphere? The role of the atmosphere on Earth, Do atmospheric cycles exist? What are they? ???? The process by which nitrogen is converted between its various chemical forms. The majority of Earth's atmosphere (approximately 78%) is nitrogen, What are the major constituents of the Earth's atmosphere? Layer of Gases, the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth The Carbon (CO2) Cycle, What is tectonic plate activity? ???? The Earth's Surface (Tectonic Plates), Volcanic Activity Releases CO2 into atmosphere Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Increased oceanic absorbtion of CO2 Decrease atmospheric CO2 Earth cools, leads to polar ice and Equatorial desserts
