Nutrient Cycles
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the four major areas of water storage on Earth? | Atmosphere, surface water (oceans, rivers, and lakes), ground water, and living things |
| _____________________ is the process by which water vapor made from cellular respiration is exhaled by a plant through the stomata in the leaves back into the atmosphere. | Transpiration |
| _____________________ is the process by which liquid water from lakes, rivers, and oceans turns into water vapor and returns to the atmosphere. | Evaporation |
| rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground | precipitation |
| _____________________ is the method by which water from excess precipitation and other sources flows over the ground surface back into rivers, lakes, and the ocean. | Run Off |
| _____________________ is the method by which water moves through the soil until it reaches water, such as groundwater in aquifers or the ocean. | Percolation |
| If the air contains high levels of pollutants, would this increase or decrease the water quality on Earth? | Decrease |
| the conversion of water vapor or gas to a liquid, such as in a cloud | condensation |
| ____________________ is the chemical process in which plants, animals, and decay release carbon dioxide and water into the atmosphere by breaking down oxygen and carbohydrates, like glucose. | Respiration |
| _____________________ is the process in which auto and factories burn fossil fuels and release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. | Combustion |
| What is the process in which plants use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, along with water, to create glucose and oxygen? | Photosynthesis |
| What is the collective term for materials containing stored carbon, such as coal, peat, oil, and natural gas? | Fossil Fuels |
| Would increases in marine organisms such as phytoplankton cause the amount of carbon in the atmosphere to increase or decrease? | decrease |
| Would the destruction of terrestrial organisms such as land plants cause the amount of carbon in the atmosphere to increase or decrease? | increase |
| Would a reduction in the use of fossil fuels by humans cause the amount of carbon in the atmosphere to increase or decrease? | decrease |
| Would a thickening of ocean sediments along the bottom of the sea cause the amount of carbon in the atmosphere to increase or decrease? | decrease |
