water cycle
The process of turning liquid water into water vapor.
Evaporation
The world's primary energy source.
Sunlight
Any water that condenses into liquid or ice in the sky and falls to the ground (rain)
Precipitation
Auto & Factory Emissions
Carbon Cycle
some examples of this are rain, sleet snow and hail.
Precipitation
The process in which plants use CO2, sunlight, and water to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
Photosynthesis
Anything that comes from a plant or animal and is biodegradable. (paper)
Organic Waste
Nitrogen Gas in the Atmosphere
Nitrogen Cycle
precipitation that flows toward streams on the Earth's surface rather than into the soil. (rivers)
Run-Off
Some examples of this are coal, oil, natural gas and oil.
Fossil Fuels
converting nitrate and nitrite into gaseous forms of nitrogen
Denitrification
Plant Uptake
Water Cycle
When water vapor in the atmosphere cools and condenses to make clouds.
Condensation
In the process known as photosynthesis, plants use this to produce sugars. (CO2)
carbon dioxide
NH4
Ammonium
condensation
water cycle
the process by which water from plant leaves evaporates and enters the atmosphere
Transpiration
When animals pass away, their remains break down storing the carbon in layers that eventually transform into rock or minerals.
Organism Decay
the process that turns ammonia into nitrites, then nitrates
Nitrification
fossil fuels
