The groundwater cycle (aka water cycle) is the process in which water is cycled from the sky to the ground and back.

First, it moisture in the atmosphere <u>condenses</u> and falls in the form of <u>precipitation</u> (snow, rain, hail). Once it reaches a surface, it is either <em>absorbed by the ground</em> or <em>runs off</em>. This is where the road splits briefly.

Ultimately, the <em>runoff</em> will reach a large body of water and the <em>absorbed water</em> infiltrates the groundwater. The runoff water, now grouped into a larger body, will start to <u>evaporate</u> and reach the atmosphere, completing its cycle. The groundwater on the other hand has one more step; after it reaches the groundwater, plants and trees will use it in the process of photosynthesis. After this, <u>transpiration</u> occurs, and the water in the plant's roots reaches leaves, where it turns to vapor, and goes back into the atmosphere, completing the cycle.

This cycle constantly goes on, and is why there is so much water and precipitation on Earth. For further reference, check the illustration below!

The ground water cycle is also know as the water cycle. There are many different parts.

Evaporation- water on the ground (such as lakes, rivers, or oceans) turns into water vapor and rises.

Cloud formation- water vapor collects together and forms clouds.

Precipitation- Water fall to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

Answer:

C is Snotase, because it works best in neutral environments (hence the pH of 7)

A is Flotase because it works best in acidic environments (low pH)

B is Zoomase because it works in acidic environments (low pH)

D is Floxase because it works in basic environments (pH above 7)

Note:

For pH, 7 is considered neutral.  Anything below that is acidic and anything above that is basic.

Finger [1]

Answer:  This is a positive feedback loop.

Explanation:

The protein digestion in the body is an example of the positive feedback. The gastric secretions is stimulated chiefly by the action of three chemicals.

These chemicals are acetylcholine, histamin and gastrin. These chemicals stimulate the parietal cells to secrete HCL and intrinsic factors.

The chief cells secrete pepsinogen in response to the gastrin and ACh. As the dietary proteins are digested, it breaks down the amino acids and peptides.

This stimulates the G cells of the stomach to secrete more gastrin. This is how the positive feedback loop for the protein digestion works.

Centimeter = 1/100 of a Meter
Kilometer = 1000 Meters

86,000/100 = 860 Meters
860/1000 = 0.86 Kilometers
