- 2. These are bacteria that help with the transport of nitrogen by turning aerial nitrogen into ammonia then into nitrites then back into aerial nitrogen, all in a continuous cycle.
- 6. This is a carbon that sea creatures use to build their shells. It is also used to create carbonate rocks such as limestone.
- 9. This cycle is a system that uses microorganisms to aid in the transport of its cargo throughout the reservoirs.
- 12. This process was invented by two scientists to artificially convert atmospheric nitrogen gas into ammonia while in the process created to way to contaminate drinking water and overgrow algae which in turn kill multiple fish by taking away the oxygen.
- 13. This is a common element that is a critical component in the foundational molecules that make our bodies.

- 1. This is an aerial carbon that contributes to the greenhouse effect.
- 3. This is a type of sedimentary rock made mostly of carbon.
- 4. This cycle is a system that moves oxygen from one reservoir to another. Without it, the oxygen would not be usable and the ozone wouldn't exist and we would all die.
- 5. These carbons are organic compounds that are formed by producers, such as plants, in a process called photosynthesis. When consumers eat producers, they store these to use later for energy.
- 7. These carbons are materials that store energy and are formed by natural processes such as the decomposition of buried dead organisms.
- 8. This is a type of sedimentary rock made up primarily of carbon-containing minerals.
- 10. This is an aerial carbon that can be found in many locations, and is a greenhouse gas, which is a compound used by producers in photosynthesis, and is also a compound created during respiration in living organisms (both on land and in water) and a compound that can be dissolved into water.
- 11. This cycle is a system that moves and changes carbon into different varieties throughout the Atmosphere, Biosphere, Hydrosphere, and Lithosphere reservoirs with help from solar energy in the Biosphere.
