Mountains
Transpiration
Valleys
Describe how human's negatively impact the water cycle (short answer- need detail)
Pollution
Deforestation
Building on and paving areas
All of the above
Why are autotrophs important factors in the carbon cycle?
they consume large amounts of producers and trap carbon
they hold carbon in their cells as glucose, preventing it from entering the atmosphere
they burn fossil fuels, releasing carbon into the atmosphere
autotrophs play no role in the carbon cycle
Which processes help to cycle carbon through ecosystems?
cellular respiration and photosynthesis
photosynthesis and transpiration
transpiration and the calvin cycle
calvin cycle and krebs cycle

fossil fuels.
Clouds are formed from
precipitation and evaporation.
evaporation and condensation.
transpiration and evaporation.
infiltration and condensation.
Water flowing over the land, carrying nutrients and pollution as it drains into larger rivers and the ocean is called
condensation.
evaporation.
runoff.
percolation.
Which of the following is not part of the carbon cycle?
burning of fossil fuels which release CO2 into the air
transpiration by plants
cell respiration by plants, animals and fungi
