Water cycle in the woods

The water cycle is the continuous process by which water moves from earth's surface to the atmosphere and back. the three key words to the water cycle are evaporation, condensation and precipitation. The way the water cycle works in a deciduous forest is The lakes and plants evaporate into the air and then condensation happens over the trees. After the clouds form,
precipitation comes from the sky and all the water that falls to the ground runs threw the ground then grows more plants. All the water underground is called ground water.

Energy Roles

There are three different energy roles of the deciduous forests. Commen producers that are in my biome are plants. There are three common consumers in my biome. The first one is carnivore. A carnivore eats only meat. An example is a wolf or a bobcat. The second consumer is herbivore. Herbivores only eat plants. 2 examples are a deer and a rabbit. The third and final consumer is a omnivore. A omnivore eats meat and plants. A bear is one example. The last energy role is decomposers. A couple of common Decomposers get rid of the wastes from the environment. A few examples of decomposers are fungi and bacteria.

The deciduous forests

Environmental science is science involving the environment and whats around it.

I'm looking forward to learning in my freshman year because I want to get ready for high
school years because it's going to be hard. My biome is Deciduous forests. They are forests with trees plants animals and rivers or lakes depending on where you are. The definition of deciduous is not lasting or the end of growing season. For example, deciduous trees are in a deciduous forest. There are many different types of animals such as coyotes, wolves, bears, deer, rabbits, bobcats, lynxs and birds of prey like bald eagles, hawks and falcons. Deciduous forests are good for hunting, camping, hiking and mountain biking. At the rivers or lakes there's good fishing, swimming and boatriding.
