Water cycle and Carbon cycle

Evaporation

The process where water changes into water vapor (gaseous form)

Condensation

The process where water vapor becomes liquid

Precipitation

Water that falls from the clouds toward the ground like rain or snow

Runoff

The flow of water over Earth’s surface through rivers, streams, and other bodies of water.

Transpiration

Where plants release water vapor into the atmosphere, especially through pores on leaves called the stomata. 

Photosynthesis

A biochemical process where plants convert sunlight into energy, taking up and releasing carbon and oxygen.

Respiration

A biological process where cells break down glucose to release energy in the form of ATP to take up and release carbon and oxygen.

Decomposition

A biological process of rotting and decaying, which takes upa nd releases carbon and oxygen

Eroision

A geochemical process where surface materials are removed and transported from one place to another, releasing carbon dioxide.

Fossil fuel activity

A geochemical process where fossil fuels are being burned to release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and oceans
