4. Ecosystem service
What is an ecosystem service, 4?
When water leaves an aquifer is known as what?
What is aquifer discharge?
What is the primary goal of filtration?
To separate different substances in wate rto make it pure.
The study of geology that focuses on the distribution and movement of groundwater
What is hydrogeology?
Which of the following determines whether rock will make a good aquifer?
1. Color
2. Mass
3. Porosity
4. Conductivity
What is porosity?
A leak in an underground storage tank is an example of _____________________________________ because it can be traced back to a single identifying incident.
What is nonpoint-source pollution?
Pollution that can not be traced back to a single source is known as what?
What is nonpoint-source pollution?
Which of the following is NOT an example of an ecosystem service?
1. Fungi returning nutrients to the soil
2. Tree roots holding soil in place to prevent erosion
3. Cells dividing to grow and reproduce
What is 3?
A hole in the ground formed when water has dissolved underground rock
What is a sinkhole?
Which of the following could deplete an aquifer?
1. Pumping water from a well
2. Flooding
3. Heavy snowfall
4. Ice
What is pumping water from a well?
Identify all the rocks in the rock cycle.
What is metamorphic, sedimentary & igenouse rock?
An aquifer that has a layer of nonporous material between the water level and ground level that separates that water from ground level is known as what type of aquifer?
What is a confined aquifer?
What 3 processes shape Earth's surface?
What is the rock cycle, weathering & the movement of water?
The processes that form, break down, and re-form rock from one type to another
What is the rock cycle?
Waste and gasoline runoff are both examples of___________________________ because they contaiminate natural water bodies and can harm organisms and the environment.
1. Water table
2. Water pollution
3. Aquifer discharge
4. Aquifer recharge
What is water pollution?
In some locations, aquifers are separated from the surface with a layer of almost completelyl imperemeable rock. How might this rock layer make it more difficult to recharge the aquifer from precipitation?
1. The water from precipitation won't be able to seep down into the pores and make it to the aquifer
2. Water will eventually make it into the aquifer because impermeable means to be able to go through
