Biomagnification in how the amount of toxin in an organism will increase as you move up a food chain. For example, a plant might only have a little toxin but an herbivore eats a lot of plants. So, now the herbivore has a medium amount of toxin. A carnivore eats a lot of herbivores and now the carnivore has a high amount of toxin and is sick.

 

The water cycle has five important processes. Evaporation which is water turning into vapor. Condensation and precipitation refer to water vapor turning into liquid or solid water. Subsurface water flow feeds rivers and streams. Surface runoff is water from precipitation gathering in streams. Streamflow moves water from mountains to oceans.

The nitrogen cycle has four steps. Denitrification is where bacteria take nitrogen from the atmosphere and convert it into a form that is usable by other biological systems. Ammonification is where nitrogenous waste is converted into ammonia. Nitrification is where ammonia is converted into nitrates. Nitrogen fixation is where bacteria convert nitrates back into nitrogen gas and return it to the atmosphere.

Phosphorus mainly comes from weathering and leeching, making it an abundant resource in many ecosystems.
