Water & Carbon Cycle
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The Water cycle | the movement of water from the oceans to the atmosphere and back to the oceans. |
| Evaporation | liquid water changes to water vapor |
| condensation | water vapor changes to liquid |
| precipitation | water falls from the atmosphere -rain, snow, sleet, hail |
| runoff | water from precipitation that flows over the land surface |
| groundwater | water that is stored under ground |
| transpiration | the loss of water vapour from plants through the stomata |
| Plants are primary consumers of | Carbon dioxide |
| Humans are the primary consumers of carbon dioxide | False |
| Humans are producers of carbon dioxide? | True |
| Humans and animals release carbon dioxide into the air during photosynthesis? True or false | False |
| All of the carbon dioxide in existence is continually recycled in the carbon cycle? True or False | True |
| Where does the carbon come from that plants use? | Air |
| Carbon Source | Places where carbon is given off in great quantities e.g. a volcano |
| Carbon Sink | Places that store carbon e.g. forest of trees |
| All of the water in existence is continually recycled in the water cycle? True or False | True |
| Name the 6 stages of the water cycle | Evaporation Condensation Precipitation (rainfall) Infiltration (soaking) Run Off Transpiration |
| Name three important steps in the treatment of water before it is used? | Filtration - remove dirt Chlorination - add Chlorine Flouridation - all Flourine |
