The Cycling of Chemical Elements In The Ecosystem

THE CYCLING OF CHEMICAL ELEMENTS IN THE ECOSYSTEM <Tab/>In the water cycle, energy is supplied by the sun, which drives evaporation either from ocean surfaces or from treetops. Wind moves the clouds to different places, otherwise it would only rain at the ocean. Precipitation occurs when water condenses from a gaseous state in the atmosphere and falls to earth. Once water condenses, gravity takes over and the water is pulled …showed first 75 words of 1576 total…

Then the water mixes with phosphorus and carbon and when a plant's roots take in the water, it takes the chemicals with it. The water evaporates but the chemicals are left behind in the plant. From there, the plant will either die and return the chemicals to the soil or it will get eaten and the animal will get those chemicals from the plant.
