Trini Soza Mr. Miguelez APES, 5 10 December 2013 Cycles Questions Water It basically is what keeps an organism alive. The Hydrologic Cycle keeps the water movement going on, above and bellow the surface. There would be more groundwater since the tree roots are not there to absorb the rainfall, as well with a decrease in water evaporation. Logging takes a hit at the Hydrologic Cycle since trees play a crucial role in it. Not only does the fact that we cut down trees affect the cycle, but also one of the biggest effects we have is contamination. The contamination of oceans, rivers, lakes are damaging the quality of the water in the cycle. Carbon Dioxide - Respiration from animals - Organisms - Dissolved CO2 from ocean - Combustion of fossil fuels - Erosion - Volcanic reactions

COAL, OIL, & GAS Stats from Geohive: US total energy consumption ? ranked 1st worldwide US oil consumption ? ranked 1st worldwide US coal consumption ? ranked 2nd worldwide (behind China) US natural gas consumption ? ranked 1st worldwide I. Oil (15-6) Most important fossil fuel in US economy: used mostly for transportation A. Petroleum or crude oil (oil as comes out of ground) 1.Produced by decomposition of deeply buried dead organic matter from plants and animals under high temperatures and pressures over millions of years 2.Consists mainly of hydrocarbons, with small amounts of sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen impurities 3.Often trapped with natural gas 4.In pores and cracks in rocks, if enough pressure create a gusher when drill B.
