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
