Answer 1

• A process that turns gaseous water in the atmosphere into liquid water in clouds-Condensation.
• Process in which liquid water falls from the sky-Precipitation
• The process by which water changes from liquid form to an atmospheric gas-Evaporation
• Water (usually from rain) that flows over a land surface in streams and waterways-runoff
• Water evaporated by plants through their leaves stomata-transpiration
• A process that turns nitrogen from the soil back into atmospheric nitrogen-Denitrification.
• process by which certain bacteria convert ammonium to nitrates-Nitrification.
• symbiotic process between bacteria and plants that converts nitrogen gas into nitrogen compounds that plants can absorb and use-nitrogen fixation
• Nitrogen in a usable form by living things-Nitrates
• When a body of water becomes concentrated with dissolved-Eutrophication
• Plants use the sun's energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars-photosynthesis
• Process in which sugars (glucose) are broken down to make ATP energy CO2 is waste released back into the atmosphere-cellular respiration
• A form of carbon made from dead animals and plants that is stored deep underground-fossil fuels
• The burning of fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere-Combustion
• gases in the atmosphere that trap energy (carbon dioxide is an example)-greenhouse gases
• The increase in chemical concentration in animal tissues as the chemical moves up the food chain-Biomagnification
