Science
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Biochemical cycle | the movement of elements and compound like carbon, nitrogen, and water between living organisms, the physical environment and chemical processes |
| atmosphere | the layer of gasses surrounding a planet, held in place by gravity |
| hydrosphere | all the water on the earths surface |
| biosphere | zone of life on earth, all living things |
| lithosphere/ geosphere | all the rocks and solid parts of the earth |
| carbon cycle | The continuous movement of carbon atoms between the 4 spheres |
| Photosynthesis | the process plants uses to create their own food by converting light energy to chemical energy- carbon cycle |
| photosynthesis formula | sunlight + water + carbon dioxide —> food + oxygen |
| respiration | process by which living organisms convert food into energy to fuel their activities, often involving the intake of oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide- carbon cycle |
| respiration formula | food + oxygen gas —> energy + water + carbon dioxide |
| feeding | carbon in our bodies by food- carbon cycle |
| fossilisation | the process of an organism being preserved in rocks to become fossil- carbon cycle |
| combustion | the process of burning something |
| decay | rot or decompose through action of bacteria and fungi |
| trading surface winds | Air currents closer to earth’s surface that blows from different directions throughout the year near the equator |
| El nino | Climate pattern- in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean become warmer than average, weakening the trade winds that blows west. |
| La Nina | climate pattern-causes colder than average sea surface temperatures in central and eastern prop |

| walker circulation | large movements/ circulation of air near the equator. Influences weather patterns like El Niño and La Niña |
| green house affect | a natural process where the earth’s atmosphere traps the sun’s heat to warm the planet and make life possible- co2 increase, make earth warmer |
| infrared radiation | “ heat radiation” produce heat, invisible to human eye but can be felt |
| Greenhouse gasses | Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapour, flourinated gasses |
| Anthropogenic greenhouse affect | warming of earth’s surface caused by human activities. E.g. burning fossil fuels |
