Cycle
The Decomposers:
Water Cycle
It is also known as hydrologic cylce.
describes the continuous movement of
water on, above and below the surface
of the Earth. The water cycle is also
essential for the maintenance of most
life and ecosystems on the planet.
Processes involved:
• Precipitation
– Condensed water vapor that falls to the
Earth's surface . Most precipitation occurs
as rain, but also includes snow, hail, fog
drip, graupel, and sleet.
• Canopy interception
– The precipitation that is intercepted by
plant foliage, eventually evaporates back to
the atmosphere rather than falling to the
ground.
• Snowmelt
– The runoff produced by melting snow.
• Runoff
– The variety of ways by which water
moves across the land. This includes
both surface runoff and channel
runoff. As it flows, the water may seep
into the ground, evaporate into the
air, become stored in lakes or
reservoirs, or be extracted for
agricultural or other human uses.
• Infiltration
– The flow of water from the ground surface
into the ground. Once infiltrated, the water
becomes soil moisture or groundwater.
• Subsurface flow
– The flow of water underground, in
the vadose zone and aquifers. Subsurface
water may return to the surface (e.g. as a
spring or by being pumped) or eventually
seep into the oceans. Water returns to the
land surface at lower elevation than where
it infiltrated, under the force of gravity or
gravity induced pressures. 
• Evaporation
– The transformation of water from
liquid to gas phases as it moves from
the ground or bodies of water into
the overlying atmosphere. The source
of energy for evaporation is
primarily solar radiation.
Evaporation often implicitly includes
transpiration from plants, though
together they are specifically
referred to as evapotranspiration.
• Sublimation
– The state change directly from solid
water (snow or ice) to water vapor.
• Percolation
– Water flows horizontally through the soil
and rocks under the influence of gravity
• Plate tectonics
– Water enters the mantle via subduction
of oceanic crust. Water returns to the
surface via volcanism.
• Condensation
– The transformation of water vapor to
liquid water droplets in the air,
creating clouds and fog.
• Transpiration
– The release of water vapor from
plants and soil into the air. Water
vapor is a gas that cannot be seen.
• Deposition
– This refers to changing of water
vapor directly to ice.
• Advection
-movement of water — in solid,
liquid, or vapor states — through the
atmosphere. Without advection,
water that evaporated over the
oceans could not precipitate over
land.
Nitrogen Cycle
Nitrogen Cycle
the process by which nitrogen is
converted between its various
chemical forms. This
transformation can be carried
out through both biological and
physical processes. Important
processes in the nitrogen cycle
include fixation, ammonification,
nitrification, and denitrification.
