Plants use their roots to get oxygen. Oxygen is dissolved in water, and there's also air pockets in their grow medium to provide a source of oxygen. When you water your plants too often, its roots are sitting in stagnant water which no longer has any oxygen left.
Which point(s) in the water cycle below best illustrate(s) water changing to a gas, and which term(s) could describe it? Is it.. 1; sublimation & evaporation. 2; evaporation only.
Sublimation is another one of these phase transitions; except in this case, we have a solid turning directly into a gas. As a sublimating material changes from a solid to a gas, it never passes through the liquid state. This image shows water in its three forms: ice, water, and steam. Sublimation is just one of the ways water or another substance can change between its potential phases.
