100
What are Limestone, Coal, and Diamonds?
These types of rocks are carbon-based.
100
What are the Hydrosphere, Lithosphere, Biosphere, and Atmosphere?
Oxygen, like carbon, is found in these places.
100
What is Evaporation?
Dry air removes water from oceans through this process.
100
What are Microorganisms?
These things are vital to the nitrogen cycle because of how they alter the nitrogen in multiple ways
100
What is Positive Feedback?
This thing is what amplifies the change in an output of a system.
200
What is the Magnetosphere?
In which of these five reservoirs is carbon NOT prominent? Hydrosphere, Lithosphere, Biosphere, Atmosphere, Magnetosphere.
200
What is Ozone?
Oxygen bonded to itself twice forms this compound.
200
What is a System?
A set of different components that create a whole
200
What is the Haber-Bosch Process?
This process has allowed for the disruption of the nitrogen cycle in many different forms
200
What is Negative Feedback?
This thing reduces or regulates the changes occurring from the input and output of a system.
300
What is the Sun?
This force is responsible for most of the Earth's carbon-driven processes.
300
What is Oxygen Cycle?
Oxygen traveling through each of the four reservoirs is known as what.
300
What is Equilibrium?
A condition in a system where competing factors are balanced evenly.
300
What is DNA?
Nitrogen is a part of this vital thing in humans
300
What is Feedback?
This occurs when a condition in a system causes activity that then impacts that initial condition.
400
What is the Carbon Cycle?
The transfer of carbon between reservoirs is called this thing.
400
What are fertilizers?
These things reduce oxygen levels in areas so much that they are referred to as "dead zones."
400
What is a Component?
A piece of a system that is part of a larger whole
400
What is the Nitrogen Cycle?
The process of moving nitrogen atoms through different reservoirs by converting them with bacteria.
400
What is a Boundary?
The definition of what is and is not in a system.
500
What is Photosynthesis?
Plants use carbon in this process to produce oxygen.
500
What are hypoxic areas?
Another term for "dead zones" is what.
500
What is Flow?
The term for the behaviors or processes that transform input to output.
500
What is Nitrogen?
This thing is an important component in all parts of life on Earth.
500
Who is Herbert Simon?
This person coined the term "systems thinking"
