Unit 8 Aquatic and Terrestrial Pollution
Discharge from a sewage point treatment is an example of what kind of water pollution? (APES CED 165)
Point-Source
Doubling time can be approximated mathematically by
70/% growth rate
Ozone in the stratosphere protects the Earth from UV rays. Ozone in this sphere causes problems breathing.
Waste materials left over from mining. Could leach or runoff into bodies of water.
Tailings
Which Biome has the Greatest Biodiversity? (APES CED 45)
Tropical Rainforest
Excess nutrients from human activities that make their way into waterbodies that causes nutrient pollution that alters food webs and harms water quality is known as what? (APES CED 170)
Eutrophication
An estimate of the average number of children that each woman in a population will bear throughout her childbearing years.
Total Fertility Rate (TFR)
This boundary is formed when tectonic plates move away from each other is knows as
Divergent Boundary
The Largest source of energy for electricity in the United States is (APES CED 130)
Coal
Which Biome is characterized by permafrost? (APES CED 46)
Tundra
Occurs when humans cause a substantial change in the temperature of a water body. (APES CED 171)
Thermal Pollution
The J-shaped population curve is a classic representation of?
Exponential growth
This phenomenon causes a shift in weather patterns resulting in less upwelling near South America.
El Nino
Travelling alone in a car uses 3.6 megajoules (MJ) of energy per kilometer. If four people go on a trip of 400 miles, how many MJS are used per person? (1.609 kilometers=1 mile)
Approximately 580 MJ
Which cycle does not have a major atmospheric component? (APES CED 49)
Phosphorous Cycle
The increase in chemical interaction in animal tissues as the chemical moves up the food chain. (APES CED 173)
Biomagnification
What is an indicator that TFR is influenced by?(APES CED 79)
Social and Cultural factors such as marriage, opportunities for education and work available to women
This is a primary reason deserts are found at 30 degrees N and S.
Hadley Cells
Which Fossil Fuel is mainly made of methane? (APES CED 135)
Natural Gas
Burning Fossil Fuels mainly affect which cycle? (APES CED 64)
Carbon Cycle
The selective absorption and concentration of a chemical within an organism over time. (APES CED 173)
Bioaccumulation
In Vietnam, there were 16 births and 6 deaths out of every 100 people in the year 2011. Using the rule of 70, estimate the doubling time for Vietnamese Population.
7 years
A man-made pollutant that destroys stratospheric ozone.
CFCs
The top layer of soil that needs to be removed in order to reach the sample (coal, minerals, etc)
Overburden
A Factory releases 250 tons of carbon dioxide each year. How much carbon dioxide will it release in 4 years? (APES CED 64)
1,000
