What else can I help you with?
Where is carbon found in the biosphere?
In the atmosphere as Carbon Dioxide (Co2) Underground as fossil fuels and calcium carbonate rock In the oceans as dissolved Co2
What is water that returns to earth in liquid or solid form?
Rain, hail and snow are all forms of precipitation.
How are these forms of preciptation ice and rain alike and different?
Ice is the solid form of water and rain is in the liquid form. Rain and ice are both forms of precipitation/water.
As evaporating water enters into the atmosphere what happens?
Its molecules become heated.
What is the process called that moves water from bodies of water to the atmosphere?
Precipitation brings water from atmosphere to earth's surface. It brings water in the form of snow, sleet, rain and hailstone.
Does new matter only enter the biosphere in the form of precipitation?
Matter can't be created. Matter can be moved and precipitation is one way of that happening. For instance, organisms can be dropped into a different habitat.
How does water move from Biosphere to Atmosphere?
Water moves from the Biosphere to the Atmosphere through the process of transpiration, where plants release water vapor through their leaves. This water vapor then enters the atmosphere where it can condense and form clouds, leading to precipitation. Additionally, water can also evaporate from oceans, rivers, and lakes into the atmosphere.
What form of carbon is found in the reservoirs in the biosphere?
The main form of carbon found in the reservoirs in the biosphere is organic carbon. This includes carbon stored in living organisms, dead organic matter, and soil organic matter. Carbon is cycled through the biosphere in processes like photosynthesis and respiration.
The flow of energy in the biosphere is continually decreasing True or False?
False. The flow of energy in the biosphere is constant and not continually decreasing. Energy enters the biosphere in the form of sunlight and is continuously cycled through ecosystems via processes like photosynthesis and respiration.
What is the name given to the release of condensed matter back to the ground in the form of sleet snow hail or rain?
The name for the release of condensed matter back to the ground in the form of sleet, snow, hail, or rain is precipitation.
How does energy cycle through the biosphere?
The water cycle through the biosphere is precipitation, condensation, evaporation, runoff, infiltration, and transpiration. The water also goes through three changes, gas, liquid, and solid.
In what form does energy leave the biosphere?
In what form does energy leave the biosphere?
How do humans add nitrogen to the biosphere?
Humans add nitrogen to the biosphere primarily through the use of synthetic fertilizers in agriculture, which then gets taken up by plants and enters the food chain. Additionally, industrial processes involving nitrogen, such as the production of ammonia, also introduce nitrogen into the environment.
Is steam a form of precipitation?
No, steam is not a form of precipitation. Steam is water vapor that is produced when water is boiled or evaporates. Precipitation refers to any form of water, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, that falls from the sky to the ground.
What is the full form of MAB?
programme on man and biosphere
Is hail precipitation?
Yes, hail is a form of precipitation.
How is precipitation and evaporation the same?
Precipitation and evaporation are both part of the water cycle. Precipitation refers to water falling from clouds in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail, while evaporation is the process by which water is converted from liquid to vapor and enters the atmosphere. Both processes play a crucial role in regulating the distribution of water on Earth.
