Unit 1
This is the process that explains the movement of landmasses on Earth.
What is plate tectonics?
Alternative methods for growing crops are enacted mostly for this reason.
What is reducing soil erosion?
or
What is restoring soil nutrients?
Oceans cover this percent of Earth's surface.
What is 70 - 75%?
These three areas are where we focused when we earned about pollution.
What is air, water, and soil?
This is the main cause for seasons on Earth.
What is Earth's Tilt?
These are the four cycles we learned about.
What are the water cycle, the carbon cycle, the phosphorus cycle, and the nitrogen cycle?
These are the main three nutrients in soil that determine how well a plant will grow.
What are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium?
This is where most of Earth's freshwater is found.
What is groundwater?
This is the most impactful cause of pollution in general.
What is human actions?
This is the order of the layers of the atmosphere from Earth's surface outward?
What is troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere?
These are the three types of boundaries that can be found between tectonic plates.
What are transform, converging, and diverging boundaries?
This is the downside of present in all of the alternative methods we discussed.
What is being labor intensive?
This ocean has the highest salt content.
What is the Atlantic Ocean?
This is the most impactful single event in terms of pollution generated.
What is volcanic eruption?
This is the effect known as seasonal lag.
I'm not typing all that???
These two (technically three) life factors have their own units associated with them.
What are liquid water and the atmosphere? (And also ocean tides)
This is the biggest environmental concern with irrigation.
What is depletion of water sources?
This is the first zone of the ocean to not receive sunlight?
What is the bathypelagic zone? Or midnight zone?
This is why multiple types of filter combined is more effective than any individual one.
What is filters being more more effective at filtering one thing than others?
This is how the boundaries for the layers of the atmosphere were determined.
What is where temperature switches between increasing and decreasing as altitude increases?
This aspect of Earth creates the magnetic field present around the planet.
What is the rotation of Earth's molten core?
This is the ideal pH range for most crops.
What is 6.0 to 7.0?
This celestial body, not including Earth, provides the second biggest impact on tides.
What is the Sun?
This greenhouse gas is the most effective at storing heat.
What is methane?
This is the amount of days Mr. Bonner was out.
What is nine? (and a quarter)
