Describe the change in phase and temperature as water moves from the oceans to the atmosphere and then returns to earth again as rain.

a) evaporation: temperature increases; condensation: temperature decreases; precipitation (rain): temperature decreases.

b) evaporation: temperature increases; condensation: temperature decreases; precipitation (rain): temperature decreases.

c) evaporation: temperature decreases; conversation: temperature decreases; precipitation (rain): temperature decreases.

d) evaporation: temperature increases; conversation: temperature increases; precipitation (rain): temperature decreases.

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

Due to an increase in temperature, the water evaporates from the surfaces of oceans and lakes. This water turns into vapors which go into the atmosphere and cool down.

When they are cooled, they turn into tiny water droplets. These water droplets grasp onto dust particles and make clouds collectively. The temperature decreases and water drops fall on the earth as rain and the temperature of the earth decreases.

The correct answer is A. Evaporation - temperature increases; condensation - temperature decreases; precipitation (rain) - temperature decreases Water on Earth evaporates due to solar energy (increased temperature). Water vapor in the atmosphere condenses (temperature decreases) and then falls back to Earth as rain (temperature decreases further)

step 1 ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates which are better for plants to absorb. this is called nitrification. 2. step 2 the deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth. 3. step 3 bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium. 4. step 4 some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere. 5. step 5 nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification. 6. step 6 plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.
