|
What frequently happens in the lithosphere during both cycles?
rock weathers away
|
How does Calcium enter biosphere?
Calcium enters the biosphere as dust; since it has no gas state, it does not remain in the atmosphere. As the form of dust, Calcium is moved by air and water throughout the biosphere.
|
What is biosphere?
The biosphere is the global sum of all ecosystems. It can also be called the zone of life on Earth, a closed (apart from solar and cosmic radiation and heat from the interior of the Earth), and self-regulating system

What are the rocks made out of in the calcium cycle?
calcium carbonate or silicates
|
What does calcium do to cell acids?
Neutralize them
|
What form are Calcium, Sulphur in? (Solid? Dust? Liquid)
Sulfur Cycle:
Sulfur from the bodies of water and land rise up to sky in the form of Hydrogen Sulfide Gas, and later condenses in the sky and comes back down as precipitation Calcium Cycle Calcium enters the biosphere as dust; since it has no gas state, |
|
In what way does sulfur reach the ocean?
runoff
|
What happens in there are too much calcium in our body?
Too much calcium in the blood can result in impairment of the kidney, increasing the absorption of rion, zinc, magnesium, and phosphate.
|
Does Suflur have a Gas state?
No
|
|
What is formed when sulfur combines with iron in ocean depth?
Ferrous sulfide (FeS)
|
How does Calcium get removed?
Calcium is moved by air and water throughout the biosphere.
|
How does sulfur come back to the bodies of water and the land?
Precipitation
|
|
What are the four ways that hydrogen sulfide gets released by sulfate-reducing bacteria?
sea spray, marshes, tidal flats, volcanic activity
|
How does calcium help as a soil amendment?
As a soil amendment, calcium helps to maintain chemical balance in the soil, reduces soil salinity, and improves water penetration.
|
What are 3 ways for Sulfur to go to the atmosphere?
Gasification, Deposition, Volcanic release
