    The document discusses the carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen cycles. The carbon cycle describes how carbon is recycled through various processes and moves between the atmosphere, living organisms, and the Earth. The nitrogen cycle explains how nitrogen circulates between plants, animals, bacteria and the soil and atmosphere. The oxygen cycle elaborates on how oxygen is transported through nature between the air, water, plants and animals. The document also examines how air pollution can impact these important cycles through effects like increased carbon dioxide levels, acid rain formation, and reduced vegetation.

    CARBON, NITROGEN AND OXYGEN CYCLES

    BY HIRIZZA JUNKO M. YAMAMOTO

    CARBON CYCLE
    The carbon cycle is the process in which carbon atoms are

    recycled over and over again onEarth


    Since a continual supply of carbon is essential for all living
    organisms, the carbon cycle is the name given to the
    different processes that move carbon from one to another.
    The complete cycle is made up of "sources" that put
    carbon back into the environment and "sinks" that absorb
    and store carbon.

    NITROGEN CYCLE

    The nitrogen cycle describes how nitrogen moves between

    plants, animals, bacteria, the atmosphere (the air), and


    soil in the ground.
    Nitrogen is an important element to all life on Earth since
    most part of the air we breathe is composed of it.

    OXYGEN CYCLE
    The oxygen cycle elaborates how oxygen circulates in various forms

    through nature.
    According toBritannica,
    Oxygen cycle, circulation of oxygen in various forms through
    nature. Free in the air and dissolved in water, oxygen is second only to
    nitrogen in abundance among uncombined elements in the
    atmosphere. Plants and animals use oxygen to respire and return it to
    the air and water as carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 is then taken up by
    algae and terrestrial green plants and converted into carbohydrates
    during the process of photosynthesis, oxygen being a by-product.

    EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION ON CARBON CYCLE


    One of the most important powers of carbon as carbon dioxide is the

    ability to absorb ultraviolet rays and ability to maintained ambient


    temperature. Without carbon dioxide the planet could be a large
    mass of ice. On Earth, carbon is distributed in the atmosphere, in
    the waters, soil, and fossil fuels.
    Excessiveforestfirescauses the increase of CO2in the atmosphere,
    deforestation reduces the ability of the forests to absorb CO 2.
    Furthermore, one of the most dangerous consequences of increased
    CO2level isglobal warming.

    EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION ON NITROGEN CYCLE


    Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the air, as it exists by

    78%, but it is also a big problem when combined with oxygen as it


    can lead to acid compounds which comprise the acid rain.
    Most organisms cannot directly absorb the nitrogen and only obtain
    from food chains.If useful bacteria are killed by the harmful effects
    of toxic substances, other living things would remain devoid of that
    element.
    Misuse and overuse of soil cultivation causes the increase of that
    element. Natural nitrogen stocks are also depleted by immoderate
    use in the manufacturing of fertilizers.

    EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION ON OXYGEN CYCLE

    Oxygen is a kind of vital element without which life could

    not exist.It is present in the atmosphere and dissolved in


    thewater.
    The amount of oxygen in the air decreases as a result of
    logging or absence of vegetation cover.
