What is the energy source that drives the water and carbon cycles?
The sun
200

What is the sphere containing all life on earth?

Biosphere

200
What is the process called when small water droplets form on small particles on dirt in the sky?
Condensation
200
A chemical reaction that occurs when plants use carbon dioxide and energy from the sun to build sugar.

What is the sphere containing all of the water on earth including oceans, streams, lakes, and ponds?

Hydrosphere

300
What is it called when water evaporates through the leaves of plants?
Transpiration
300
A chemical reaction that occurs when cells break down sugar, which results in carbon dioxide production
Respiration
300

This is one way that humans alter the carbon cycle. This allows us to generate electricity, power cars, and run factories.
