Cycles

• How carbon is transferred through Earth's spheres

• Does not change form

• Changes what the carbon is bonded to

Carbon

• How water is transferred through Earth's spheres.

• Losing or gaining energy changes the state of the water

  • solid, liquid, gas

Water

• ​liquid to gas

• energy gained

​​Evaporation

• ​gas to liquid

• energy lost

​​Condensation

• liquid to liquid

• energy unchanged

• water droplets just get too big to stay up

​​Precipitation

• liquid to gas

• energy gained

• similar to evaporation only with photosynthesis

​​Transpiration

Carbon goes from being bound in glucose to being bound in CO₂
