Biogeochemical Cycles
Across
- 2. Burning of fossil fuels
- 3. Gas produced by photosynthesis
- 5. A place that releases carbon
- 9. Early microbes that produced oxygen
- 11. Plants use this process to absorb carbon
- 12. Nitrogen loss from soil into water
- 13. A place that stores carbon
- 15. Element that is the basis of all life
- 17. Long-term carbon store humans burn for energy
- 18. Human-made source of nitrogen
- 19. Organisms release carbon through this process
- 20. Nutrient needed by plants and animals
Down
- 1. Breaks down dead things, releasing carbon
- 4. Turns nitrogen gas into a usable form
- 6. Large carbon sink affected by acidification
- 7. A repeating system of movement or change
- 8. Process that uses oxygen and changes metal
- 10. When oceans become more acidic from carbon
- 14. Microorganisms that help fix nitrogen
- 16. Taking in oxygen for energy
