Abiotic Cycles

4. is water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources, that flows over the land surface
7. is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water
10. fuels when we burn things into the air that effects the amount of nitrogen in it
11. is when water changes from a liquid to a gas and moves into the clouds
12. cutting down trees that effects the water cycle
13. is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail.
16. is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil
17. decomposition with production of ammonia or ammonium compounds especially by the action of bacteria on nitrogenous organic matter.

1. living organisms involving the production of energy, typically with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide
2. Fixation the chemical processes by which atmospheric nitrogen is assimilated into organic compounds, especially by certain microorganisms as part of the nitrogen cycle.
3. cycle the series of processes by which carbon compounds are inter-converted in the environment
5. cycle the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land.
6. is when water moves through plants and into vapor
8. rapid chemical combination of a substance with oxygen, involving the production of heat and light
9. the loss or removal of nitrogen or nitrogen compounds; specifically : reduction of nitrates or nitrites commonly by bacteria (as in soil) that usually results in the escape of nitrogen into the air
14. is the biologiical oxidation of ammonia or ammonium to nitrite followed by the oxidation of the nitrogen
15. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water
