A | B |
transpiration | water from leaves |
evaporation | liquid to gas due to heat |
condensation | gas to liquid due to cooling |
precipitation | falling water |
run off | precipitation that is not absorbed by the ground |
leeching | water that is absorbed into the ground |
water table | water under the ground |
decomposition | water is released as organisms break down |
types of precipitaiton | rain, snow, hail, sleet |
fog | water vapor condensing at ground level |
cloud | water vapor condensing in the sky |
photosynthesis | makes sugar whichis carbon, when plants die, carbon goes into the air |
respiration | carbon dioxide is a waster product of respiration |
fossil fuels | dead organisms that have been under pressure for millions of years, oil, coal are examples |
greenhouse effect | good, when the sun's rays get trapped in the Earth's atmospher due to carbon dioxide |
global warming | too much carbon dioxide traps too much heat |
carbon sink | most carbon ends up at the bottom of the ocean |
