Water Cycle
Note - The larger the arrows, the larger the amount of water transport
MAP KEY -
1 - Evaporation from the Pacific Ocean
2 - Evaporation from Andes' Snowmelt
3 - Transpiration from plants (listed under General Information --> Producers)
4 - Evaporation from ground water and rivers
5 - Evaporation from Atlantic Ocean
Black Arrow = Andes's Snowmelt being absorbed into ground
White Arrow = Andes's Snowmelt flowing into tributaries of the Amazon River (specific names listed on map above)
Dark Blue Arrow = Groundwater being absorbed into plants (listed under General Information --> Producers)
Dark Purple Arrow = Water from rivers being absorbed into ground (becomes groundwater)
Dark Green Arrow = River water being absorbed directly into grasses and plants next to rivers
Light Purple Arrow = Amazon river flowing into Atlantic Ocean (becomes sea water)
Red Arrow = Ground water flowing into Atlantic Ocean (becomes sea water)
Grey Triangle = Mountain
Three Trees = Forest
Three Green Lines = Grasses
Blue Line = Rivers
Brown Line = Country Boundary

Carbon Cycle
Note - The larger the arrows, the larger the amount of carbon transport
MAP KEY -
1 - CO(2) in the atmosphere dissolving into rain water
2 - Evaporation of water with carbon dissolved into the atmosphere
3 - Evaporation of water with CO(2) dissolved from ground, streams, rivers, and mountains into atmosphere
4 - Release of CO2 into the atmosphere from dead organisms, broken down by decomposers (listed under General Information --> Decomposers)
5- Burning of forest to create farming land (CO(2) released into atmosphere) and burning of fossil fuels by humans releasing CO(2) into the atmosphere
6 - Cellular respiration of organisms releasing CO(2) into the atmosphere
7- Evaporation of water containing dissolved CO(2) from atlantic ocean
Purple Arrow - CO(2) from atmosphere dissolving into designated oceans
White Arrow - Fossil fuels being created with dead carbon material under Amazon
Black Arrows - CO(2) being used in photosynthesis by producers (listed under General Information --> Producers)
Red Arrows - Consumers eating organisms and the carbohydrates in them (Consumers listed under General Information --> Consumers)
Grey Triangle = Mountain
Three Trees = Forest
Three Green Lines = Grasses
Blue Line = Rivers
Brown Line = Country Boundary
Fire - Deforestation or Burning of Fossil Fuels
Cow - Represents all consumers NOT just cows (General Information --> Consumers)
