Answer:

Biotic, Abiotic

Step-by-step explanation:

Interconnected pathways through which water is recycled through the biotic and abiotic components of the biosphere.

The water cycle is driven by the Sun’s energy. The sun warms the ocean surface and other surface water, causing liquid water to evaporate and ice to sublime—turn directly from a solid to a gas. These sun-driven processes move water into the atmosphere in the form of water vapor.

Over time, water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into clouds and eventually falls as precipitation, rain or snow. When precipitation reaches Earth's surface, it has a few options: it may evaporate again, flow over the surface, or percolate—sink down—into the ground.

In land-based, or terrestrial, ecosystems in their natural state, rain usually hits the leaves and other surfaces of plants before it reaches the soil. Some water evaporates quickly from the surfaces of the plants. The water that's left reaches the soil and, in most cases, will begin to move down into it.

In general, water moves along the surface as runoff only when the soil is saturated with water, when rain is falling very hard, or when the surface can't absorb much water. A non-absorbent surface could be a rock in a natural ecosystem or asphalt or cement in an urban or suburban ecosystem.

Water evaporates to form the ocean surface and forms clouds by condensation. Water in clouds may fall as precipitation over either the land or the sea. Clouds formed over the sea may move over the land. When rain falls over the land, it may flow along the surface, infiltrate the soil—move into it from above ground—and percolate through the soil, moving downward to become groundwater. Groundwater in upper levels may flow into rivers, lakes, or oceans. Water near the soil surface may be taken up by plants and move out of their bodies through transpiration from the leaves. Snowmelt runoff and sublimation of snow and ice are other processes that contribute to the water cycle.

Water in the upper levels of the soil can be taken up by plant roots. Plants use some of the water for their own metabolism, and water that's in plant tissues can find its way into animals’ bodies when the plants get eaten. However, most of the water that enters a plant's body will be lost back to the atmosphere in a process called transpiration.

A quadrilateral has angle measures of 41 52 and 54 which is the measure of the last angle
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

213 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadrilateral has an internal measurement of angles of 360 degrees.  Given that we have 3 measures of the angles, we simply need to find the 4th.  This can be accomplished with the following equation:

x + 52 + 54 + 41 = 360

x + 52 + 95 = 360

x + 147 = 360

x = 213

Hence, the measure of the final angle is 213 degrees.

Cheers.
