Plate Tectonics
What catastrophic event happens when two tectonic plates slide past one another?
Earthquake
How does pollution move from soil to lakes, streams rivers or oceans, on the watershed?
Runoff
Define Gravity
the force that pulls objects with mass toward each other
Which Trophic Level gets the least energy?
The Apex (tertiary)
Define Decomposer
A Bacteria that feeds on the breakdown of dead plant or animal matter
Where is Magma located?
deep down in Earth
Human activity can significantly impact both ground water and surface water.
True or False
True
What keeps the planets in their path
Gravity
Define overharvested.
It happens when a species is depleted faster than it can reproduce, which can disrupt food webs and harm ecosystems and can lead to extinction.
Define Fungi
Organisms that absorb nutrients from organic materials in their environment
What is the meaning of "jigsaw puzzle fit?"
Continents were once connected
Explain why runoff from land affects the ocean ecosystem.
Runoff from land can carry pollution and move to the ocean, rivers, lakes, streams
Planets do not need gravity in orbit
False
Explain the process of the Food Chain?
Food Chain is a linear representation of what eats what in an ecosystem.
Which Trophic Level gets 100% energy?
The Producer
What does Convergent Boundary create?
Subduction and Volcanoes
Explain Point Source Pollution
Pollution/Chemicals that are on the ground from a Single location gets polluted
The Sun is considered to have the most mass.
True or False
True
Explain the Food Web and how it works?
Food Web is a interconnected food chains in an ecosystem that shows what eats what.
What happens to 90% of heat?
It is lost to heat
What does Divergent Boundary create?
Ocean basin and Seafloor Spreading
Explain Non-Point Source Pollution
when pollution is created by a variety of locations(sources)
Millions years ago which planet was warmer Venus or Earth?
Earth
What is the foundation of the Energy Pyramid?
The Sun
Explain 10% Rule in the Energy Pyramid
Means that when energy is passed on in an ecosystem from one Trophic level to the next, only ten percent of the energy will be passed on. Which means 90% used to digest, grow, reproduce, move, or lost as heat.
