**DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!**
TRUE or FALSE: The water cycle has a specific start and no logical order.
FALSE! You can start anywhere, but it MUST follow a logical order.
2000
**DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!**
What nutrients in fertilizer are the most harmful?
Nitrogen and Phosphorus are the most harmful
2000
What are the three big ways Industry and Agriculture impact earths land and water?
Increasing weathering, erosion, and deposition
Making the land more unstable
Increasing pollution
2000
**DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!**

The movement of the Earth’s weathered features through wind, water, gravity, or other natural agents.
2000
**DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!**
What agents mainly form Valleys?
Ice and Gravity
2000
Definition: Any Earth Process that breaks down Earth material.
What is the term being defined?
Destructive Earth Process

DOUBLE JEOPARDY!
TRUE or FLASE: As our population grows, the human impact on our planet becomes greater to meet the needs of our growing population.
EXPLAIN!
TRUE because the more people we have the more food we need, clothes, homes, heat, the more of everything we need.
3000
Where is the dead zone we learned about? What watershed created that dead zone?
The Gulf of Mexico caused from the Mississippi watershed
3000
Define Deposition
After pieces of the Earth are carried by erosion they are deposited (dropped) somewhere else.
3000
What are AGENTS of EROSION?
Water, Wind, Ice, and Gravity
3000
What are natural earth processes that change our landscape?
Weathering, erosion, deposition, water cycle.
3000
Define TRANSPIRATION
Plants "sweating out" water
4000
What is the human impact of farmers using fertilizers?
Fetilizer gets eroded with the sediment and can end up in water. Fertilizer can enter a watershed and end up in a larger body of water. This could create a DEADZONE.
4000
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.

2.) Give me all specific processes learned of chemical weathering.
The process of breaking big rocks into little pieces thorough chemical reactions
Oxidation
Hydrolysis
Carbonation

***DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!!!!*****
What agent(s) form deltas?
Water

**DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!**
What are the MAIN agents that change our Earths Landscape?
Water, Ice, Wind, and Gravity
4000
What powers the water cycle?
The Sun
5000
How can we mitigate the effects of Agriculture?
Manage fertilizers:
regulate the amount of nutrients in fertilizers
control where and how often they are applied.
Control Run-off:
re-direct runoff to treatment plants to remove most of the nutrients.
Plant wetland grasses to filter the nutrients out of the water.

**DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!**
What is a watershed?
The entire area of land that water travels over to get to one larger body of water.
