Transpiration is evaporation of water from plants.

The water cycle

Transpiration occurs when the stomata in leaves open to take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and loose water to the atmosphere in the process. transpiration how plants get rid of excess water.

1. An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using inorganic carbon sources like carbon dioxide, essentially self-feeding by converting simple carbon into complex organic molecules.

2. Part of the Carbon cycle.

3. Autotrophs are important because they convert carbon into food helping our atmosphere repair slightly.

4. Some examples include-Algae, cyanobacteria, and some types of bacteria

1) Runoff is the term of water flowing over the surface and into bodies of water.

2) Runoff is part of the water cycle

3) Surface Runoff is important for the water cycle because it allows for water to feed into bodies of water when there is too much water for the ground to hold the liquid water which helps sustains our lakes and rivers.

4) Runoff creates the Simpson Creek and that turns into the Cowpasture River which then leads to the James River then the Chesapeake Bay This is known as the watershed.

Ammonification is part of the nitrogen cycle and is crucial for providing living organisms with the essential nitrogen that they need.

The process of ammonification converts organic nitrogen, which is the way nitrogen is contained in compounds in living organisms, into inorganic ammonia (NH₃) or ammonium ions (NH₄⁺).

Ammonification is important because it is important for animals to get the vital nutrients they need to survive and thrive.

The anammox reaction is enabled by certain bacteria in water. In the reaction, ammonium and nitrate ions combine to form water and nitrogen gas which helps the nitrogen cycle continue.

The anammox reaction is an important part of the nitrogen cycle because it may contribute to up to half of the nitrogen gas released into the atmosphere by the ocean.

For example, Changi sewage plant in Singapore is the first sewage treatment plant to be able to make a stable mainstream anammox operation.

Soil infiltration impacts almost everything soils are used for. Infiltration rates impact irrigation, drainage, and how well water flows to crop roots. Infiltration measurements are used to predict erosion and determine soil health.

~The word Evapotranspiration is the process by which water is transferred from the land to the atmosphere by evaporation from the soil and other surfaces and by transpiration from plants.

~Evapotranspiration is the cycle where water moves from the Earth's surface into the atmosphere through a combined process of evaporation.

~Evapotranspiration is important in the cycle because it represents the combined process of water evaporating from soil and bodies of water, as well as transpiring from plants.

1. conversion of a substance from the solid to the gaseous state without its becoming liquid.

2. It is in the water cycle; sublimation is most often used to describe the process of snow and ice changing into water vapor (gas) in the air without first melting into water

3. Sublimation plays an important role in the hydrologic cycle by converting solid ice directly into water vapor, adding moisture to the atmosphere.

Ground water is an underground layer of water-bearing material.

Ground water is part of the Hydrologic cycle.

Ground water is important because it's a source of fresh water.

Examples of ground water are clay, shale, and in preamble rocks.

Definition: Denitrifying bacteria convert parts of the nitrates in the soil back into nitrogen gas.

Cycle: Denitrification is a part of the nitrogen cycle.

Importance: Denitrification is important to the nitrogen cycle because it returns nitrogen to the atmosphere so the cycle can continue, which is the opposite of nitrogen fixation.

Examples: Some denitrifying bacteria include Micrococcus denitrificans, Thiobacillus denitrificans, and some Pseudomonas, Achromotobacter, and Serratia species.

Define: Nitrogen Fixation is the process of converting nitrogen gas to nitrate ions that plants can absorb

Cycle: Nitrogen Fixation is part of the Nitrogen Cycle

Importance: Nitrogen Fixation is important because plants and animals cannot use nitrogen gas directly, it converts N2 into biologically available nitrogen, it ensures that nitrogen is available for plant growth and metabolism and is a key step in the natural nitrogen cycle.

Define: Nitrogen Absorption uses plants, and other producers use nitrogen to synthesize nitrogen-containing organic compounds.

Cycle: Nitrogen Absorption is also part of the Nitrogen Cycle.

Importance: Nitrogen Absorption is important because plants help in the assimilation of nitrogen when they absorb it from the soil in the form of ammonia, nitrite ions, nitrate ions or ammonium ions to form plant and animal proteins.

Example: Azotobacter is a genus of usually motile oval or spherical bacteria that form thick-walled cysts and also has hard crust and may produce large quantities of capsular smile. They are aerobic, free-living soil microbes that play an important role in the nitrogen cycle in nature, binding atmospheric nitrogen, which is inaccessible to plants, and releasing it in the form of ammonium ions into the soil (nitrogen fixation).

1)Precipitation is the process of rain, snow, sleet, or hail falling from the sky to the ground.

2) Precipitation comes from the water cycle.

3) It is important because it replenishes water sources like rivers, lakes, and groundwater

4) Some examples of precipitation are rain, drizzle, snow, hail, graupel, and freezing rain

Methane is released into the atmosphere when dead organisms and other organic matter decay in the absence of oxygen. It is produced by landfills the mining of fossil fuels and some types of agriculture.

Methane is part of the water and nitrogen cycle. Methane is a hydrocarbon that is a primary component of natural gas.

Methane helps the atmosphere stay warm and habitable and helps with fossil fuels for more oxygen.

For examples of methane is used as fuel in automobiles, ovens, and water heaters, as well as in the generation of electricity and as rocket fuel.

·       Carbon in ocean water is the carbon in the ocean and is primarily found in the form of Carbonic acid or(H₂CO₃)

·       My topic belongs to the carbon cycle

·       Carbonic acid is important in the PH balance of ocean water, and the ocean absorbing Carbon slows global warming

Root nodules are a knob-like structure that forms on the roots of plants such as peas, beans, and soybeans. Root nodules are a nitrogen fixing bacteria.

Root nodules are apart of the nitrogen cycle.

These root nodules are important to the nitrogen cycle because they convert nitrogen gas into nitrogen compounds that a plant can use to grow.
