carbon cycle
Carbon spends most of its time on earth in the atmosphere where it is a part of carbon dioxide gas emitted when fossil fuels are burned and when living organisms breathe. Humans are moving carbon into the atmosphere from other parts of the earth's system. More carbon is moving to the atmosphere when fossil fuels like coal and oil are burned. More carbon is moving into the atmosphere as humans get rid of forests by burning the trees. Most of the carbon in the atmosphere is in molecules of carbon dioxide and it is a greenhouse gas it causes heat and by increasing the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere gas in the atmosphere the earth gets warmer. Our diagrams are different because we both started somewhere different and got different results we both went to one certain area multiple times or went to one less. Our diagrams are the same because were both going place to place and doing the same thing just got different results.
Rock cycle
Questions 2-8
2. We spend the most time at Sediments and we ended up there five times.
3. We spent 1,000,000 years at Sediments.
4. We visited every single station some more then others.
5. What was similar about my groups path and the other groups path was we both went to all the stations. What was different about my groups path and the other groups path was
6. Sedimentary rocks are formed through the gradual accumulation of sediments for example sand on a beach or mud. As the sediments are buried they get compacted as more and more material is deposited on top. Eventually the sediments will become so dense that they would essentially form a rock.
7. Because the same mineral can be cycled through different form over and over through time
8. The rock cycle effects us by the rocks that are buried deep under the ground sometimes it moves to the earth surface and then erupts from a volcano and then sends gases and ash to the atmosphere.

water cycle
Questions 3-10
3. We spent the most time at Lakes.
4. We spent the least time at Plants.
5. If each roll of dice represented 1,000 years at the station we spent the longest at we would've spent 8,000 years at Lakes.
6. No, we didn't get to go to the plant station
7. What was similar about mine and the other groups path was that we both ended up at oceans and clouds a lot. What was different about mine and the other groups path was they went to all the stations and we didn't.
8. Lakes could be considered our water storage.
9. One way the water cycle affects us the water cycle is Deforestation in one area that can effect the weather in another area because if trees are cut down there is less water to be evaporated into the atmosphere and subsequently less rain. Another way the water cycle affects us is when it rains instead of the water being soaked up there is a run off and leaching. Droughts and flooding happens that impacting on plants and animals, and also humans living near.
10. One way humans affect the water cycle is water makes up at least 80 percent of living matter the more we develop our land and increase infrastructure the bigger the human effect is on the water cycle. Another way humans effect the water cycle is deforestation , the greenhouse effect all which have consequences that interrupt the cycle.

Cycle Connections
The nitrogen cycle
the phosphorus cycle
the sulfur cycle
1. The rock cycle and the water cycle are connected by the role of water in erosion. Water running over the rock can water pieces off and cause nutrients to cycle.
2.The rock cycle and the carbon cycle are connected by the presence of carbon in rock, carbon can be held in certain types of rock such as limestone and its impact in the type and structure of rock.
3.The rock cycle and the nitrogen cycle are connected by nitrogen going through nitrogen fixation and be held in rocks.
4.The rock cycle and the phosphorus cycle are connected by pressure and gravity causing phosphorus contained in rock to be moved deeper up the surface where it's released into the atmosphere.
5.The sulfur cycle is unique because of its high concentrations and sulfur in fertilizers.The nitrogen cycle is unique because it contains lighting a form of release.The water cycle plays a major role in all cycles it can be found in the atmosphere and biosphere.
6. All of these cycles interact with each other because most of them follow a similar pattern.
