Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balance of precipitation, evapotranspiration, water storage, and loss in the soil is known as soil-water budget. This accounts for the amount of water that is available to plants and other organisms in the soil. Hydrologic cycle refers to the continuous movement of water between the atmosphere, oceans, and land. Carbon cycle refers to the movement of carbon among living organisms, atmosphere, and the earth's crust. Soil horizon refers to the distinct layers of soil, while energy budget refers to the balance between the energy received and emitted by the earth's surface.
