Question

complete the following passage regarding the water and carbon cycles.
both the hydrologic cycle and the carbon cycle consist of the movement of a substance back and forth between the atmosphere and land. in the hydrologic cycle, transports water from earth into the atmosphere, and transports water back to earth. in the carbon cycle, transports carbon into the atmosphere, and transports it back to earth. in addition, the burning of fossil fuels transports carbon to the.
precipitation atmosphere photosynthesis evaporation earth respiration

Explanation:

• In the hydrologic cycle, evaporation turns water into vapor and moves it to the atmosphere. Precipitation (like rain, snow) brings water back to Earth.
• In the carbon cycle, respiration (by organisms) releases carbon (as \(CO_2\)) into the atmosphere. Photosynthesis (by plants) takes in \(CO_2\) from the atmosphere and uses it to make organic compounds, transporting carbon back to Earth - like in plant tissues.
• Burning fossil fuels (which are carbon - rich) releases carbon (as \(CO_2\)) to the atmosphere.

Answer:

1. evaporation
2. precipitation
3. respiration
4. photosynthesis
5. atmosphere
