Test II. IDENTIFICATION (10
points)
Direction: For each statement below, identify which cycle is being described (Water Cycle,
Carbon Cycle, or Oxygen Cycle). Write your answer on the line provided.
___ ________ 26. A rapid exchange occurs between living organisms and the atmosphere,
maintaining the balance of a crucial element.
___ ________ 27. The removal of dense vegetation disrupts the steady flow of a gas once
absorbed and released through biological activity.
___ ________ 28. Microscopic organisms in the ocean regulate the presence of an
atmospheric component that supports combustion and life.
___ ________ 29. Substances buried for centuries reappear in gaseous form following
extensive human extraction and use.
___ ________ 30. Natural surface loss returns repeatedly in a continuous pattern that
sustains rivers and aquatic reserves.
___ ________ 31. Prolonged emission of invisible compounds from industries and vehicles
contributes to global temperature rise; determine the affected cycle.
___ ________ 32. In areas of massive vegetation loss, levels of a life-supporting gas drop
while another increases; identify the altered process.
___ ________ 33. Observation of seasonal droughts shows human structures altering the
return flow of a vital natural resource; name the disturbed cycle.
___ ________ 34. A decline in aquatic oxygen levels results from excessive surface
heating and nutrient accumulation; determine which cycling process is
involved.
___ ________ 35. Continuous imbalance in the proportions of atmospheric gases indicates
failure in a natural global regulation system; identify the disrupted
cycle.
