I have to make a school project and the topic is Biogeochemical cycles and Global Warming. I would like to know the relation between them so I can make the project better.
PS- I am in ninth grade and would like answers suitable for that level.
News and comments on global climate change, global warming and greenhouse effect
First, you should talk about global warming, the greenhouse gases, and the depletion of the stratosphere. Then you can link the biogeochemical cycles into it by saying it circulates the nutrients in the air and reuses them in all aspects of life.
The relation, per say, of the carbon cycle, with global warming is very small. For millions of years these cycles have been going on without causing a global temperature raise. You can say that even though carbon is released into the air, that is the least way of contributing to global warming.
Hope I could help. =) And good luck!
-I would ask your teacher on more details because I’m not sure how she would want you to link, for example, the phosphorus cycle to global warming.
Tricky
The present warming is not part of a natural cycle. However, the warming does affect biogeochemical processes such as coral development. And of course, anything that affects plant growth affects weathering and erosion.
In your position, I would ask my teacher for some references, and a clearer description of what she has in mind..
You’d be best off studying the "carbon cycle".
And tell your teacher that global warming is a political term not a scientific one (assuming this project is for a science class).
