10 Questions
What are the two main sources of water vapor entering the atmosphere?
Evaporation from the ocean and transpiration from plants
How is water vapor transported through the atmosphere?
By winds
What happens when the air carrying water vapor cools?
The water condenses into tiny droplets that form clouds
What are the different forms of precipitation?
Rain, snow, sleet, or hail
What are the four main components through which the water cycle passes?
Atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere
What are the main processes involved in the biogeochemical cycles?
The main processes involved in the biogeochemical cycles are biological processes, geological processes, physical and chemical processes, and processes driven by human activity.
Give examples of biological processes in the biogeochemical cycles.
Examples of biological processes in the biogeochemical cycles include photosynthesis, respiration, eating, and eliminating waste products.
Which sphere do geological processes primarily occur in?
Geological processes primarily occur in the geosphere.
What are some examples of physical and chemical processes in the biogeochemical cycles?
Examples of physical and chemical processes in the biogeochemical cycles include cloud formation, precipitation, flow of running water, and action of lightning.
How do human activities contribute to global change?
Human activities contribute to global change through actions such as mining and burning fossil fuels, land clearing, forest cutting and burning, and the manufacture and use of fertilizers.
