The process where plants release excess water as vapor from their leaves, acting like a "plant breath" or sweat.

Which of earth's systems interact with one another?

All 4 of them: hydrosphere, geosphere, biosphere, atmosphere

Earth's water, whether found on land or in oceans, including the freshwater found underground and in lakes, glaciers, and rivers

The part of earth in which living things exist and exist and interact. (Example: includes land, water, air)

The gases that surround earth (Example: nitrogen and oxygen)

The layers of solid and molten rock, dirt, and soil on earth. (Example: rocks, soil, minerals, and landforms

The process through which a gas changes into a liquid. (Example: water on the outside of a glass)

The process through which a liquid changes into a gas

A continuous, natural process where plants and animals exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide to survive. (Ex: Animals take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide as waste while using energy.)

The continuous process of nitrogen moving from the air, into the soil, through living things, and back into the air.

water that falls from the clouds to the ground in the form of rain, sleet, hail, or snow.

How do animals get nitrogen from the soil?

Plants absorb the nitrogen from the soil and animals can eat the plants. Plants play a crucial role in the nitrogen cycle by absorbing nitrogen from the soil, which then gets passed on to animals when they eat the plants.

excess water that flows over earth's surface from a storm or flood
