  • what happens to water vapor as it enters the atmosphere
    condensation
  • Is carbon released into the atmosphere by respiration, combustion, roasting of limestone and natural processes
    true
  • Which part of the water cycle involves water vapor rising into the atmosphere from bodies of water and land?
    Evaporation
  • photosynthesis or dissolving in water
  • what happens to water vapor in a cloud, whats the next step
    precipitation
  • what processadd water to the atmosphere
    evaporation, transpiration combustion
  • describes the water cycle?
    The continuous movement of water above and below the earth
  • describe the role of the water cycle in regulating Earth's temperature?
    regulates Earth's temperature by absorbing excess heat through evaporation
  • process by which water returns to the Earth surface after precipitation, eventually making its way back to bodies
    Runoff
  • carbon is stored in the ground as what
    limestone or fossil fuels
  • What happens as water reaches land
    infiltration, snow and glaciers form and run off
  • What is the process by which water vapor changes into liquid water?
    Condensation.
  • What is the role of clouds in the water cycle?
    Clouds release water vapor into the atmosphere through precipitation
  • What is the term for water that falls to the Earth's surface as rain, snow, sleet, or hail?
    Precipitation.
  • In which form does water move through plants and eventually evaporate from the leaves?
    Transpiration
  • what way is C02 is removed from the atmosphere byadded to the atmosphere
    combustion, natural processes, roasting of limestone, respiration
  • Is carbon released into the atmosphere by only respiration
    false
  • Carbon footprint is the what being released in the the atmosphere
    carbon dioxide
