$100 Earth Your Text Here How does the water cycle influence the rock cycle in an area like the Grand Canyon? F. Large amounts of flowing water increase the rate of weathering and erosion. G. Too much rain soaking into the ground slows the rate of new rock formation. H. Sudden evaporation of water removes moisture from rock layers in the canyon walls. J. Decreased rainfall makes the rocks hard and brittle, so that they crumble into pebbles.

$400 Cycles Nitrogen compounds absorbed by root hairs are used to make proteins. Lightning helps change small amounts of nitrogen in the air to a useful form. Nitrates and ammonia are released back into the soil in animal wastes. Bacteria in the soil and on roots of some plants change nitrogen into a form plants can use. Animals get nitrogen to make proteins by eating plants or other animals that eat plants. The sun provides the energy to power the nitrogen cycle. What would happen if the bacteria in the soil could not change the nitrogen into a form plant could use?

$400 Cycles What would happen if the bacteria in the soil could not change the nitrogen into a form plant could us? Plants can’t use the nitrogen unless it is fixed by the bacteria to a usable form.
