Water Cycle
This is when water turns into vapor due to heat
What is evaporation
This gas is taken in by plants during photosynthesis.
What is CO2?
The percentage of nitrogen gas in the atmosphere.
What is ~78%?
Phosphorus mainly enters ecosystems from this source.
What are rocks?
What is the meaning of "Where there is a will, there is a way?"
What is...determination and perseverance will lead to accomplishing ones goals, no matter the obstacles.
This process forms clouds when water vapor cools.
What is condensation?
This process releases carbon dioxide when organisms break down food.
What is cellular respiration?
Process that converts nitrogen gas into ammonia.
What is Nitrogen Fixation?
This process releases phosphorus from rocks into soil.
What is Weathering?
Explain "Reality is limitless, and no one has reached its boundary".
What is...human understanding is limited, and claims of complete knowledge are false.
This is when water soaks into the ground instead of running off.
What is infiltration?
Burning coal, oil, or gas releases carbon into the atmosphere. This is called…
What is combustion of fossil fuels?
The process that leads to ammonification which is when dead matter is converted into Ammonium
What is Decomposition?
This form of phosphorus is absorbed by plants from the soil.
What is phosphate (PO₄³⁻)?
Explain "He who conquers himself, is the mightiest warrior."
What is...real strength is having self-control and discipline, turning their ego into a tool...not dominating others.
This is when vapor turns into solid, skipping the liquid state of matter. Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat's special power.
What is deposition?
Deforestation increases atmospheric CO₂ because it reduces this major carbon-removing process.
What is photosynthesis?
Denitrification increases under low-oxygen conditions, converting nitrates into this gas.
What is N2?
Three biological usages of phosphorus.
What are...Strong bones/teeth, ATP/Energy production, DNA?
What is...The only thing that is certain is change. Your past shouldn't trap you unless you let it. Your actions now can change your life in the future, for better or for worse.
A large forest is cut down. This causes a decrease in this process, reducing moisture in the atmosphere.
What is transpiration?
An increase in fossil fuel use would most directly increase carbon in this sphere.
What is the atmosphere?
If soil bacteria were removed from an ecosystem, plants would struggle to obtain this usable, wonderful form of nitrogen.
What are nitrates (or usable nitrogen compounds)?
Unlike nitrogen, phosphorus availability often limits growth because it is not easily replenished through this process.
Explain "A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer."
What is...wisdom is not about knowledge but about how you think. Reflection, Listening, Understanding. The fool can be given the best answer and still not gain anything from it.
