Water Cycle - Poy
voacab.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the process by which liquid changes to gas | evaporation |
| the process by which a gas changes to a liquid (in clouds, outside of a cold glass_ | condensation |
| the process in which plants lose water out of their leaves | transpiration |
| any form of water tht falls from the clouds to Earth (rain, snow, sleet, or hail) | precipitation |
| water beneath the earth's surface that supplies wells and springs | ground water |
| rainfall not absorbed by the soil | runoff |
| the process by which producers (plants) make their own food using sunlight with carbon dioxide and water to convert it into glucose (sugar/plant's food) and oxygen | photosynthesis |
| a cycle in which carbon dioxide is produced by animals or the burning of fossil fuels, goes into the air, is used by plants during photosynthesis, and then is absorbed by animals when they inhale and when they eat the plants | carbon cycle |
| a gas in the atmosphere which is produced by animals and used by plants for photosynthesis | carbon dioxide |
| a series of steps in which the last step leads back to the first step (water & life) | cycle |
| a cycle in which plants take nitrogen compounds from the soil, animals eat the plants and nitrogen compounds are returned to the soil when the plants and animals die | nitrogen cycle |
| when no more can be dissolved into a solution | saturation |
| a cycle in which water from lakes and oceans is heated by energy from the sun, evaporates into the atmosphere, condenses into drops of water that float as clouds, and then falls back to Earth as precipitation (rain and snow) | water cycle |
| water in the form of gas | water vapor |
