Question 2
Question
Fill in the Blanks for the Carbon Cycle:
Dead and decaying organisms release [blank_start]carbon dioxide[blank_end] into the soil. It gets into [blank_start]fossil fuels[blank_end]. The [blank_start]carbon dioxide[blank_end] is taken back out of the soil through [blank_start]ocean uptake and factories[blank_end]. Then it is absorbed back into [blank_start]plants[blank_end] for photosynthesis.
Question 3

Fill in the Blanks for the Water Cycle:
Water is [blank_start]evaporated[blank_end] into the atmosphere in the form of [blank_start]water vapour[blank_end]. It is also [blank_start]transpired[blank_end] from plants. The water then [blank_start]condenses[blank_end] into [blank_start]liquid[blank_end] water. It falls to the ground in the form of [blank_start]precipitation[blank_end]. The water then soaks into surface water and [blank_start]groundwater[blank_end].
