When carbon dioxide dissolves in water (H₂O), it forms an acid called Carbonic Acid (H₂CO₃).

The reaction is given by the equation:

CO2 (g) + H₂O ↔ H₂CO₃

Rising air currents carry water vapor from all these sources into the atmosphere. As the water vapor rises higher into the atmosphere or is carried toward the poles by winds, the air becomes cooler. Cooler air cannot hold as much water vapor, so the water vapor condenses into tiny water droplets around particles in the air. The tiny water droplets form clouds. then it rains

Nitrification is a biological process that converts reduced nitrogen compounds into oxidized nitrogen compounds

Infiltration is the action of entering or gaining access to an organization or place surreptitiously, especially in order to acquire secret information or cause damage.

Runoff is the draining away of water from the surface of an area of land.

Anammox Reaction- This reaction cycles nitrogen back into nitrogen gas in the atmosphere. The anammox reaction is enabled by certain bacteria in the water. Ammonium and nitrate ions combine to form water and nitrogen gas.

The chemical equation for the anammox reaction is NH+₄ + NO−₂ → N₂ + 2H₂O.

Sublimation is the process of a substance going from solid to gas without becoming a liquid. The verb form of sublimation is sublime or sublimate.

Nitrification is an essential step in the nitrogen cycle. It is a natural process that occurs in soil, where ammonia is converted to nitrites (NO2-) and then nitrates (NO3-). This aerobic process is carried out by specialized autotrophic bacteria.

Stomata is any of the minute pores in the epidermis of the leaf or stem of a plant, forming a slit of variable width which allows movement of gases in and out of the intercellular spaces.

Ammonification is when decomposers break down organic remains and wastes, and they release nitrogen in the form of ammonium ions.

Legumes are any type of plant in the Fabaceae (or Leguminosae) botanical family. But in layman’s terms, legumes are typically a pod with a seed in it, and the seed is the part that we eat

Transpiration- Transpiration is when plants lose water. This occurs when stomata in leaves open to take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and lose water to the atmosphere.

A division of microorganisms that are related to the bacteria but are capable of photosynthesis. They are prokaryotic and represent the earliest known form of life on the earth.

Photosynthesis is a chemical process that occurs in plants. During this process plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Transpiration is the exhalation of water vapor through the stomata.

Permeability is how easily the ground can absorb water

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert chemical energy from nutrients like glucose into energy. In this process it’s combining oxygen with food molecules while releasing carbon dioxide and water as waste products.

Aquifer definition- an underground layer of water-bearing, permeable rock.

A huge amount of water exists in the ground below your feet, and people all over the world make great use of it. But it is only found in usable quantities in certain places underground — aquifers.

Permeability definition- how easily and quickly the ground/soil can absorb water

Permeability is basically the efficiency of being able to absorb water.
