What is the difference between weathering and erosion?
Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, erosion is the movement of those broken down rocks.
List all the examples of precipitation
Rain, Snow, Sleet, and hail
Define evaporation
The process of water turning from a liquid to a gas.
Mechanical is physical force and chemical is through chemical reactions.
Agriculture and Industry.
Agriculture: (farming) the growing of plants and livestock
Industry: The manufacturing (creating) of materials.

A family wants to build a home. Where would you advise them to build and why?
A cliff besides the oceans
A hillside in the mountains
They should build on a hillside because it is not coming into constant contact with agents of weathering. Their home will ultimately last longer.
What is a watershed? Explain what watershed we learned about and the phenomena it created in the gulf of mexico
The entire area of land that water travels over and gets deposited in one larger body of water.
Mississippi watershed created a DEAD ZONE in the gulf of mexico
The majority of water is found in ______. Which is an example of _________ step in the water cycle
Oceans, Accumulation/Collection
****DOUBLE JEOPARDY***
What step of the water cycle would come after evaporation?
Condensation
****DOUBLE JEOPARDY***
Should humans build on wet lands? Why or why not
NO because wet lands are a habitat to special organisms, wet lands are natural filters for pollution, and they slow down erosion!

1.) Define Frost Wedging
2.) This is an example of what type of weathering?
1.) water fills crack in rock, the water expands when frozen, the rock breaks
2.) Mechanical
What are the three steps to making a DEAD ZONE?
1.) Eutrophication: Where an excess amount of nutrients (fertilizer) flow into a body of water and cause there to be a “boom” in plankton and algae.
2.) Hypoxia: Low to NO Oxygen in bodies of water, causing life to die or relocate (move).
3.) Dead Zone: A body of water where NO life exists.
Where does the energy come from that powers the water cycle?
The Sun
Define:
1.) Biological Activity
2.) Abrasion
1.) Biological Activity: When living parts of nature breaks apart rock
2.) Abrasion:The constant and repeated hitting of water (or wind) on rocks causing them to break.
Agriculture (farming) and Industry (Construction) negatively impact the land by...
A.) Increasing weathering, erosion, deposition, and pollution.
B.) Making the land more STABLE
C.) Causing Drought
A.)Increasing weathering, erosion, deposition, and pollution.
Feldspar turning into Clay is an example of what type of weathering?
Hydrolysis
How can humans mitigate the impact of industry?
1.) Regulations and Laws
control who, where, what and how often resources are used.
Do not allow the disposal of industrial waste in certain areas.
Protect areas like wetlands
2.) Invest in cleaner Engineering technologies
Lessen the amount of pollution released
Renewable focus

What process in the water cycle has to do with water turning from a gas back into a liquid in the form of clouds?
Condensation
1.) What element is needed for Oxidation weathering?
2.) What kind of weathering is this an example of?
1.) Oxygen
2.) Chemical

An increase in population means what for Earth Resources?
Mrs. Sesmer will judge
What are the AGENTS of erosion?
Water, Wind, Ice, Gravity

Where does the water cycle START?
Trick question, there is NO start!
