A possible result of pumping large amounts of water from an underground aquifer is that A) groundwater stops being collected. B) farms may produce fewer crops, as groundwater depletes. C) the recharge zone for groundwater shrinks and the aquifer becomes permanently dry. D) the aquifer becomes depleted more rapidly than rain or rivers can recharge it, forcing other sources of water to be tapped.

answer; i believe the correct answer is (data); /// good luck

b.

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
