What three processes does water travel from the surface of the earth into the atmosphere and return to the earth again?
Precipitation, Evaporation and Condensation.
Which process or processes return carbon to the atmosphere?
Cellular respiration only
How can groundwater return to the atmosphere?
Well one way it can return to the atmosphere is it can evaporate and go up. Another way is that it can turn to runoff, water that cannot soak into the ground and instead flows across Earths surface.
How does water return to atmosphere?
it returns to the atmosphere during evaporation
What are two processes that return CO2 to the atmosphere?
Respiration (breathing). This is carbon dioxide recently removed from the atmosphere, so does not contribute to global warming.Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This is carbon dioxide that has been underground for 300 million years, so it does contribute to global warming.

What processes return water vapor to the atmosphere?
The main processes that return water vapor to the atmosphere are evaporation and transpiration. Evaporation occurs when liquid water changes into water vapor from sources such as oceans, lakes, and rivers. Transpiration is the process through which plants release water vapor from their leaves into the atmosphere. Both of these processes contribute to the water cycle by replenishing the atmosphere with water vapor.

What are the main features of the. carbon cycle?
The carbon cycle is a natural biogeochemical cycle whereby carbon as CO2 is transferred from the atmosphere to the land and ocean, where it resides in another form before returning to the atmosphere as CO2. The principal processes involved in transfer from the atmosphere are the dissolution of CO2 in the oceans and the uptake of CO2 by the photosynthesis of green plants. The processes involved in return to the atmosphere are the release of CO2 from the ocean in regions in which the surface of the ocean has become saturated with CO2 and the oxidation of organic matter by respiration or fire, which essentially reverses the photosynthetic process: 6CO2 + 12H2O ⇔ C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
What is the water cycle-?
It is the cycle of processes whereby water circulates between the earth's oceans, the atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, the drainage in streams and rivers, and then return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.
What processes of water cycle return water vapor directly to the atmosphere?
Evaporation returns some water back to the atmosphere from lakes and rivers. Flowing rivers carry the majority of rain, spring water, and snowmelt to lakes or to the ocean, whose larger surface area increases evaporation.
What two biotic processes return carbon back to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide?
bums do thats why when we fart it comes out so slow and lush
How does water return to atmosphere?
it returns to the atmosphere during evaporation
The sun's heat energy causes surface water on the earth to change into water vapor.?
Evaporates, returning the atmosphere until it becomes saturated, at which point it will return to the ground as rain.
How far abouve the earth is the zone were the space ship heats up coming back to earth?
Space Ships get heated on there return to earth due to friction from the atmosphere on the surface of the ship. The ships get hotter the closer they get to the surface. They begin to encounter very thin air at ~45-50,000 ft, and the atmosphere gets much more dense thus causing faster heating, the closer they get to the surface.
How does liquid water return to the atmosphere?
Evaporation
