Describe two impacts of fossil fuels on the environment?
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, an important greenhouse gas, into the environment. This is contributing to global warming.Burning fossil fuels also releases other pollutants, like nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic compounds and heavy metals.
Describe the path of nitrogen through its biogeochemical cycle?
Nitrogen gas in the soil is used by plants, which are eaten by animals. The waste products of the animals contain the nitrogen. It is broken down by bacteria, which releases nitrogen gas into the atmosphere, and the cycle repeats.
What may occur when the burning of fossil fuels releases gaseous nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides into the atmosphere?
Burning fossil fuels can lead to pollution in the environment. Although fossil fuels can be useful, the burning of them should be reduced to preserve clean air.
What would happen if the bacteria that cause denitrification were removed from the nitrogen cycle?
denitrification is soil bacteria converting nitrates into nitrogen gas, is process releases nitrogen into the atmosphere. If there wasn't any bacteria, there would be no process and therefor the nitrogen wouldn't make it into the atmosphere.
How is nitrogen recycled in the environment?
the nitrogen cycle is the pathway that nitrogen follows through an ecosystem. or something with decaying animals putting nutrients back into the soil.
An animal return nitrogen to the environment when it?
When an Animal Dies, and Decomposes Nitrogen is Released, where Bacteria and Plants begin there work, you may want to research the Nitrogen Cyclean animal returns nitrogen to the environment when it urinates or decompeses or dies or decays
What process releases nitrogen into the soil?
Transpiration

How are forms of nitrogen and carbon carried through the environment?
Water carries nitrogen and carbon through the environment.
How do you be part of the nitrogen cycle?
We get Nitrogen compounds into our bodies through protein food we eat. This Nitrogen is again released to the environment by excretion. Also after animals are dead the nitrogen is released to the environment by decaying.
How are some forms of nitrogen and carbon carried through the environment?
Some forms of nitrogen and carbon are carried through the environment by plants and animals.
How does nitrogen return to the environment?
dies and decomposes
An animal returns nitrogen to the environment when it what?
decomposes
What releases nitrogen into the atmosphere?
Denitrification which is the process of nitrofen returning to the atmosphere which also involes denitrifying bacteria( convert nitrate back into nitrogen gas)
Why is lightning good?
A lightning blot is full of Nitrogen. So when a lightning bolt flashes it releases Nitrogen into the Atmosphere. Since Humans breathe 75 to 80 percent of Nitrogen it is essential to us.
What and the movement of nitrogen through the environment and living organisms?
I think it's called the 'nitrogen cycle' .
