1. What do you call the process by which the water transforms from liquid to gas in Hydrologic cycle.
2. Lighter water vapor cools as it reaches a certain altitude, and forms tiny floating droplets. As a
result, clouds form. This process is called ________.
3. __________is the release of water from clouds in the form of rain, sleet, hail or snow.
4. ___________ is the process of converting atmospheric nitrogen into biologically available nitrogen.
5. ____________ is the process that converts ammonia and ammonium compounds into nitrite and
then to nitrate.
6. _____________ is the process where nitrogen is releases as ammonia after decomposition.
7. _____________ involves the process of releasing nitrogen back to the atmosphere.
8. ___________ is the type of gas plants releases during photosynthesis.
9. __________ is the type of gas humans and animals releases during respiration.
10. This is the complete path an element or a compound takes through the four subsystems of Earth—
atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere.
