respiration - The action of decomposers and other organisms that produces carbon dioxide, fossilization - The action of time and pressure on dead organisms without decomposition is, fossil fuels - fossilized remains of a mass deposit of dead organisms produces, nitrification - The conversion of ammonia compounds to soil nitrates is, combustion - The conversion of oil to carbon dioxide is, condensation - The formation of clouds when water vapour cools describes, nitrogen fixation - The conversion of nitrogen gas by soil bacteria or bacteria of legumes to soil nitrates describes, rainfall - Water vapour undergoes condensation to form clouds and precipitation to cause, denitrification - The conversion of soil nitrates in water logged soil to nitrogen gas in the air describes, transpiration - The release of water vapour from trees and plants into the air describes, lightning fixation - The conversion of nitrogen gas to soil nitrates by lightning during a storm describes, fungi and bacteria - Decomposers are organisms that recycle minerals back into the ecosystem eg. are, eutrophication - The loss of oxygen and death of aquatic life caused by algae bloom in fertilizer enriched water describes, Leaching - is the loss of water-soluble plant nutrients from the soil, due to rain and irrigation., denitrifying bacteria - are anaerobic microbes that convert nitrates to nitrogen gas, Rhizobium - This bacteria colonize plant cells within root nodules, where they convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia as part of nitrogen fixation,
