Question

which of the following processes is shown by arrow 1 in the image below?* producer uptake weathering decomposition runoff/leeching

Explanation:

• Producer uptake involves plants taking in nutrients, which is not shown here.
• Weathering is the breakdown of rocks, not depicted by arrow 1.
• Decomposition is related to the breakdown of organic matter by decomposers, not this arrow.
• Runoff/leeching is the movement of water (and dissolved substances) from land to water bodies. Arrow 1 shows water (and possibly nutrients) moving from the mountainous land (after rainfall) to the lake, which aligns with runoff/leeching.

Answer:

Runoff/Lceching
