Question

why? we have learned the importance of recycling our trash. it allows us to use something again for another purpose and prevents the loss of natural resources. but what happens to the waste in nature? why arent we up to our necks in natural refuse? why is there always a supply of water in nature? why is there oxygen to breathe and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis? organic compounds in nature are also recycled. this recycling process converts the complex organic compounds to simple, inorganic compounds, which then can be returned to nature to be used again and again.
model 1 - the water cycle

1. model 1 illustrates how nature recycles what natural resource?
2. model 1 illustrates four major areas of water storage on earth. complete the list of these storage areas below.

atmosphere, surface water, _, and _

1. where is groundwater stored?

Explanation:

1. The model is titled "The Water Cycle", so it illustrates how nature recycles water.
2. The four major areas of water storage shown are the atmosphere, surface waters, groundwater (stored in aquifers), and soil moisture (implied by the uptake and transpiration processes).
3. Groundwater is stored in aquifers as indicated in the model.

Answer:

1. Water
2. Groundwater, Soil moisture
3. In aquifers
