Environmental Systems
Across
- 2. Earth's major reservoir of carbon in the form of carbon dioxide.
- 6. rocks or soil is broken down, transporting phosphorus across land or into water
- 9. organic material breaks down, returning organic phosphorus to the soil
- 10. burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil
Down
- 1. A bright yellow in color element that has a really bad smell; man has been using this element for thousands of years. Found near volcanoes and hot springs.
- 3. Carbon enters the biotic part of the ecosystem
- 4. Water that flows across the land and enters rivers and streams. It eventually flows into lakes and the ocean.
- 5. Rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls from clouds to the Earth's surface.
- 7. The change of state from a gas to a liquid.
- 8. animal waste returns organic phosphorus to the soil
