Are non living things affected by pollution?
Aside: The answer assumes the question does not mean "How do toxic waste sites affect zombies?" (Even though zombies are affected by salt which may be in toxic wastes)Answer:Non-living systems include soil and groundwater as well as air.Toxic waste sites can:* leach out toxins that contaminate ground water and surface water making it unfit to drink, use for agriculture, or for fish to live in * change the pH of water reducing its usefulness and/or increasing heavy metal leaching* degrade soil structures so that the ionic balance is lost * contaminate soils so plants cannot gtow in them, or absorb toxins from the soil making them unfit to eat * emit volatile substance to the air
What process returns water to earth's atmosphere?
It is all part of the water cycle. It does not matter when it starts since nobody can really define it. However, water cycles involves 2 (or 3, for some) processes most of the time. Evaporation and transpiration (water is lost to surrounding) changes the water to water vapour, then rises up to the earth's atmosphere. It then condenses to form clouds, before it falls as rain, snow or hail as a process of precipitation. These waters would then sip into the ground as groundwater or run into the water bodies by surface runoff before the whole cycle repeats itself.
How does water vapour enter the atmosphere?
Mostly from evaporation, when the sun's heat lifts the water vapour from oceans and lakes. Transpiration a. It evaporates from water when heated by the sun. b. It sublimates from ice and snow. c. It is lost from tree leaves during evapotranspiration.
What is it when water vapor is lost through stomata?
transpiration :)
How did the earth's atmosphere change composition to become today's nitrogen and oxygen atmosphere?
The original atmosphere of Earth was lost when the solar wind of the early sun stripped away all the gas from around Earth. A secondary atmosphere was slowly released by volcanoes as gases were released from the molten rock. Most of this gas is carbon dioxide, but it is gradually dissolved in the oceans and precipitates out as carbonate rock instead of building up in the atmosphere.
What is water lost to the atmosphere by the activities of plant?
transpiration
What is the leading theory for Venus' complete lack of water in any form?
It was broken apart into and , which were lost from the atmosphere.
What do living things use to make energy?
They eat to make up the energy they lost
What does the water cycle show about earth's water?
It explains how water is used by animals and plants and that it then is lost by them to the atmosphere. The water in the atmosphere falls as rain into the oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, streams and onto the land that the plants and animals take up again.
If Mars did have liquid water at one time what happened to it and why?
One popular theory is that when mars lost its atmosphere, the liquid water evaporated into space.
How is heat lost through water?
Heat is lost by all things through convection, conduction and radiation.
When will Lost in the Echo come out?

What non-living things are there in a tide pool?
Lots of non-living things can be in tide pools-----water, rocks, salt, dirt, sand, shells, dead plants or animals, lost teeth or other lost animal parts, and anything that humans/animals have thrown, dumped, or accidentally dropped into the ocean or general tidepool area can be found in the tidepools.
What are non living things in a rain forest?
dirt air water are loaded with uncountable organisms. Aside from decaying organic matter you won`t find much that is not "living". Stones perhaps. Like a Mayan Temple. Or a pocket watch someone lost.

How do greenhouse gases warm the lower atmosphere?
Greenhouse gasses harm the Earth because they pollute the air and makes our atmosphere thinner. When that happens, it is letting more and more heat in our Earth that drought will happen and water will be lost.
