N2 molecules break apart via nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Other
living entities such as plants and animals ingest nitrogen in
nitrate-containing compounds. Organic matter decays via
decomposers.
N2 is formed via denitrifying bacteria.

Definition1/11
The Troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, is where most of our weather occurs. The troposphere extends from the surface of the Earth upwards to a height that varies from about 9 km (or 30,000 ft) at the poles and 17 km (or 56,000 ft) at the equator.
