Global Air Currents

1. A build up of elements in areas with a lot of organisms is prevented by circulation of the atmosphere with global air currents.
2. Global air currents mix the atmosphere and maintain nearly the same balance in areas of intense biological activity and areas of slight biolgical activity.

Troposphere

1. Troposphere: The layer of the atmosphere closest to the earth's surface.
2. Troposphere contains three quarters of all the molecules of the atmosphere. (Web site)

Methane

1. As permafrost melts, methane is released into the atmosphere. (Web site)
2. They also give off most of the important trace gases in our atmosphere like methane.

Sulfur

1. Sulfur Cycle -Sulfur enter the atmosphere from natural sources. (Web site)
2. Studies the processes that regulate the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus within and between oceans, continents, and atmosphere.

Flux

1. Decomposition causes the main flux of carbon from the biosphere to the atmosphere.
2. About 25% of the human-produced flux is transported away from the continents to the oceanic atmosphere. (Web site)

Surface

1. Albedo The ability of a surface to reflect short wave radiation to the atmosphere.
2. About 90% of this UV reaching the Earth's surface is longer wavelength UV-A. The rest is UV-B. No UV-C makes it through the atmosphere. (Web site)

Planet

1. If the planet is covered with white daisies, most of the light from the sun will be rebounded into space (the Daisyworld has no atmosphere to contain it).
2. The first shows their ranking and share in the entire known mass of the planet, including the crust, living matter, the oceans, and atmosphere. (Web site)

Temperature

1. Land Atmosphere Feedback: The role of water and temperature in the Arctic.
2. We know the rise in global temperature is linked with the increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere.

Biosphere

1. Lovelock's initial teleological hypothesis was that Gaia atmosphere is kept in homeostasis by and for the biosphere. (Web site)
2. Earth’s biosphere depends on the balance of gases in the atmosphere, as described by James Lovelock in his Gaia theory.

Oxygen

1. They will begin to absorb the carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the atmosphere. (Web site)
2. When green plants carry out photosynthesis, they use carbon dioxide and water to make glucose, and then they release oxygen into the atmosphere.
3. Cellular respiration if the process of breaking down sugar to yield energy, releasing carbon dioxide gas to the atmosphere. (Web site)

Global Warming

1. CO2 in the atmosphere is a greenhouse gas, blamed for global warming.
2. CFCs migrate to the upper atmosphere destroying ozone and increasing global warming. (Web site)
3. The most recent GCMs include global representations of the atmosphere, oceans, and land surface.
4. This flux is a negative feedback on CO 2 accumulation in the atmosphere and hence on global warming. (Web site)

Compounds

1. Biogenic volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere.
2. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) - Any organic compound which evaporates readily to the atmosphere.
3. Reactive nitrogen compounds play an essential role in processes that control the ozone abundance in the low atmosphere.

Absorb

1. Any gas that absorbs infrared radiation in the atmosphere.
2. The atmosphere, land, and water are heated when they absorb solar energy.

Exchange

1. Carbon-13 exchange between the atmosphere and biosphere. (Web site)
2. Part of the modern global biogeochemical cycle of phosphorus, emphasizing the exchange of P among the land, atmosphere, and ocean. (Web site)

Reservoir

1. In the carbon cycle, respiration returns carbon to its reservoir in the atmosphere. (Web site)
2. Use the information in Figure 21 and Table 3, and the reservoirs of atmosphere, land, and ocean. (Web site)

Warm Air

1. Atmospheric Pressure - Pressure of the air and atmosphere surrounding us which changes from day to day. (Web site)
2. On a global scale, warm air rises in the atmosphere and cooler air descends. (Web site)
3. Secondary pollutant Air pollutants which are formed in the atmosphere by chemical reactions, e.g.
4. Inversion in the atmosphere refers to a situation where: warm air floats over cool air.

Photosynthesis

1. Carbon from the atmosphere is converted into biological matter by photosynthesis.
2. Vegetation has the potential to sequester (or withdraw) carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
3. In fact, all of the oxygen in the atmosphere is biogenic; that is, it was released from water through photosynthesis by autotrophs. (Web site)

Released

1. The resultant nitrogen gas is released to the atmosphere.
2. Carbon dioxide is released in the atmosphere and oxygen is consumed. (Web site)

During Photosynthesis

1. Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.
2. Oxygen is released to the atmosphere by autotrophs during photosynthesis and taken up by both autotrophs and heterotrophs during respiration. (Web site)

Returned

1. This results in the denitrification process, whereby some nitrate is converted back to nitrogen and returned to the atmosphere. (Web site)
2. In the process of the life activity and of dying off of plants, chemical elements are returned to the atmosphere and lithosphere.

Atmosphere

1. ATMOSPHERE -The gaseous layer covering the earth. (Web site)
2. Such change may have been caused by human influence on the atmosphere. (Web site)
