Question 1 Water and carbon cycles
0 1 . 1 Which of the following describes a cause of precipitation?
[1 mark]
A As air rises from the Earth’s surface due to convection, it warms as it
gets higher and changes state from liquid to ice.
B At a cold front, warmer, less dense air is forced to sink under denser,
colder air leading to cloud formation along the front.
C When air is forced to rise over hills it cools, water vapour condenses
forming clouds and water then falls to the surface of the Earth.
D When the humidity of the air decreases, it means more liquid water can
change state and become water vapour.

0 1 . 2 In the carbon cycle, what is respiration?
[1 mark]
A A transfer of carbon from a solid state to a gaseous state, when
combined with oxygen during combustion of organic material.
B Animal and plant cells use oxygen to free energy from stored
carbohydrates, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
C As organic material decomposes and is broken down, carbon is
returned to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
D Where plants use solar energy to combine carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere with water and release oxygen as a by-product.
