B. bacteria that convert ammonia into nitrites and nitrates are found in the soil
This statement best demonstrates a way that the geo-sphere is involved in the nitrogen cycle.
A nitrogen cycle is defined as the movement of nitrogen between the atmosphere, biosphere, and geo-sphere in different forms. Ammonia is converted to nitrates by nitrifying bacteria in the soil. Then the plants absorb these nitrates from the soil and use these to build up proteins.
The answer is water vapor.
Water is presented in the form of tiny gas particles called water vapor in the atmosphere. The clouds are formed when this invisible water vapor in the atmosphere condenses onto microscopic particles (dust, dirt,...).
That is true.
These are the three types:
Igneous- form when magma cools down and hardens.
Metamorphic- form under earth's surface after particles undergo intense heat and pressure.
Sedimentary- forms when different layers of sediment accumulate on top of each other and harden creating a solid piece.
Hope it helped!
A lot of carbon stored inside the Earth may soon re-enter the atmosphere, according to a new, global study on soil-based carbon. The massive release of carbon could be the equivalent of adding another fully industrialized country the size of the United States to the map over the coming decades.
Plants, animals, and microbes absorb much of the carbon dioxide released into the Earth's atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. As these plants and animals die, their carbon-based bodies become part of the soil, storing the equivalent of millions of tons of greenhouse gases in the dirt. As atmospheric carbon dioxide is a primary driver of climate change, some have pointed to this soil absorption as a helpful carbon sink, somewhat alleviating the human-caused warming of the planet. But as surface temperatures continue to rise, a lot of the carbon stored in the soil may be set to re-enter the atmosphere in a big way.
