day 13 water cycle and carbon cycle

Front

What is transpiration?

Back

Transpiration is the process by which plants release water vapor into the atmosphere as a waste product.

Front

What is evaporation?

Back

Evaporation is the process of converting liquid water into water vapor (gas).

Front

What gas is produced by plants during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is produced by plants during photosynthesis.

Front

What is a fossil fuel?

Back

Fossil fuel is a natural fuel formed from the remains of decomposed plants and animals, such as coal, oil, and natural gas.

Front

What is the effect of planting large numbers of trees on oxygen production?

Back

Planting large numbers of trees results in an increase in oxygen production.

Front

What is the water cycle?

Back

The water cycle is the continuous process by which water moves through the environment, including evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

Condensation is the process by which water vapor cools and changes back into liquid water, forming clouds.

Front

What is precipitation?

Back

Precipitation is any form of water, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface.

Front

What role do decomposers play in the carbon cycle?

Back

Decomposers break down dead organic matter, returning carbon to the soil and atmosphere.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
