PERFORMANCE TASK 1
Compilation and Critique Analysis Paper on Different Biogeochemical
Cycles
TASK DESCRIPTION:
1. Compile the schematic diagram of the Water Cycle, Carbon Cycle, Oxygen
Cycle, Nitrogen Cycle, and Phosphorus Cycle.
2. Make a critical analysis of the disruptions that alter its natural cycle, Possible
causes of the disruptions, Possible consequences of the disruption, and Ways
to minimize the disruptions.
3. Use the template provided next page to organize your compilation and critical
analysis.
4. Consider the holistic rubric provided below as your guide in preparing your
output.
