Water Properties
This property of water allows water molecules to stick to each other.
What is Cohesion?
How do humans impact the water cycle by reducing water infiltration?
What is by building with pavement and other impervious surfaces?
Which human activity significantly increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
What is Burning fossil fuels?
What is the primary way that nitrogen enters the biosphere?
What is Through nitrogen fixation?
Which of the following is NOT a key component of the phosphorus cycle: The atmosphere, Rocks, Soil, Organisms?
What is The atmosphere?
This property of water allows water molecules to stick to other substances.
What is Adhesion?
What is False?
How does the burning of fossil fuels impact the carbon cycle?
What is it increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Explain the role of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the nitrogen cycle.
What is converting atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into a form usable by plants, such as ammonia (NH3) or nitrates (NO3-)?
Which of the following is the slowest biogeochemical cycle: Water cycle, Carbon cycle, Nitrogen cycle, Phosphorus cycle?
What is The phosphorus cycle?
This phenomenon describes the ability of water to move upwards in narrow spaces against the force of gravity.
What is Capillary Action?
Describe two ways in which human activities can disrupt the water cycle.
What is Deforestation and the construction of dams? (or similar answers)
What is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen. This plays a vital role in the carbon cycle by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in plant bio
How does fertilizer overuse impact the nitrogen cycle?
What is it leads to nutrient runoff and water pollution?
Explain the difference between the nitrogen cycle and the phosphorus cycle in terms of their primary reservoirs.
What is The nitrogen cycle primarily involves the atmosphere as a major reservoir, while the phosphorus cycle is primarily based on rocks and soil?
