Processes of the water cycle

What is evaporation, condensation, and precipitation 

100

Define carbon cycle

What is the process by which carbon moves within and between organisms and their physical environment 

100

Define Nitrogen Cycle 

What is the process by which the nitrogen gas is fixed into nitrates by bacteria or lightning to be used by plants and then back into nitrogen gas by bacteria after plants and animals die or give off waste.

4 steps - Fixation, Nitrification, Consumption, Denitrification
