| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the process of evaporation | liquid to gas |
| water transpiring off of the producers, plants, condensation-gas to liquid, precipitation-sleet, hail, snow, rain, groundwater (infiltration-water in the ground/ runoff-water rolling along the ground.) | transpiration |
| when it evaporates | the chemical properties of the water remain the same. |
| a process that can filter out pollutants or unwanted particles of matter such as salt in the ocean thus converting the salt water to fresh water. | evaporation |
| The primary energy source that drives Earth’s water cycle between the atmosphere, oceans and land | the Sun. |
| Fertilizers | replenish nutrients in the soil, such as nitrogen; while insecticides are used on crops to help prevent damage from insects. |
| is the process by which plants give water vapor to the atmosphere. | Transpiration |
| the steps in the water cycle | condensation and precipitation and absorbed: evaporation and transpiration. Know how to explain these processes. |
| a process that explains how nitrogen moves from the atmosphere, water, and soil, also known as the biosphere. | The nitrogen cycle |
| Nitrogen can be used | decomposition of organic matter-death or waste, or by 2). Composting 3) lightening. |
| Nitrogen that is used by plants | Nitrates (NO3.) |
| When plants take-in/absorb nitrogen they store it in their cell tissue for future use. | causes the plant to be stronger and more green. |
| the most critical group of organisms that play a role in delivering usable nitrogen to plants. | Nitrogen-fixing bacteria |
| When Nitrogen is released back into the air or ground | denitrification. |
| Extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes | a rise in average temperatures on Earth. |
| Carbon can move from organisms back to the environment through | decomposition and combustion. |
| an atmospheric gas, is a product of respiration and the burning of fossil fuels. | Carbon dioxide |
| During the process of burning of fossil fuels | oxygen (O2) is required and carbon dioxide (CO2) is released. |
| The source of the ____in fossil fuels is the remains of dead plant and animal matter that has undergone a transformation that takes millions of years. | carbon |
