Question: Trees most likely change the environment in which they are located by
Answer: removing water from the soil and returning it to the atmosphere.
Hypothesis: trees can remove water from the soil and release water to the atmosphere
Supporting facts: sent1: cooling / colder means removing / reducing / decreasing heat / temperature sent2: transpiration is when water vapor moves from plants into the atmosphere sent3: if something absorbs something else then that something will contain that something else sent4: xylem carries water from the roots of a plant to the leaves of a plant sent5: if something releases something else then that something is the source of that something else sent6: plants perform plant uptake sent7: absorbing something from the air means removing that something from earth 's atmosphere sent8: transpiration occurs in plants sent9: photosynthesis is a source of / makes food / energy for the plant by converting carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight into carbohydrates sent10: a source of something increases the amount of that something sent11: when something moves from an object to the atmosphere that something is released sent12: plant uptake is when plants absorb water from soil into themselves through their roots sent13: water vapor is found in the atmosphere sent14: when something is absorbed from a place that something is removed from that place sent15: if an object / something is in the sunlight then that object / that something will absorb solar energy sent16: a plant requires water to grow sent17: plants control the amount of water in their leaves through transpiration sent18: a plant absorbs carbon dioxide from the air to perform photosynthesis sent19: decomposition is when a decomposer recycles / returns nutrients / nitrogen from dead organisms to the soil by eating those dead organisms sent20: as the deforestation increases , the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will increase sent21: a tree is a kind of plant sent22: to breathe in means to absorb air sent23: an example of moisture is water vapor in the atmosphere sent24: absorbing something from the air decreases the amount of that something in the air sent25: releasing something into the atmosphere increases the amount of that something in the atmosphere
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] plant uptake is when plants absorb water from soil into themselves through their roots [AND] when something is absorbed from a place that something is removed from that place [INFER] int1: plant uptake is when plants remove water from the soil with their roots [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] plants perform plant uptake [INFER] int2: plants remove water from the soil through plant uptake [BECAUSE] when something moves from an object to the atmosphere that something is released [AND] transpiration is when water vapor moves from plants into the atmosphere [INFER] int3: transpiration is when water is released from plants to the atmosphere as water vapor [BECAUSE] int3 [AND] transpiration occurs in plants [INFER] int4: plants can release water to the atmosphere as water vapor through transpiration [BECAUSE] int2 [AND] int4 [INFER] int5: plants can remove water from the soil and release water to the atmosphere [BECAUSE] int5 [AND] a tree is a kind of plant [INFER] int6: trees can remove water from the soil and release water to the atmosphere
