When a water molecule has evaporation and condensed into a large enough cloud, this process occurs.
What is precipitation?
100
This pH of neutral water
What is 7?
100
What does CO2 stand for?
Carbon Dioxide
100
This process removes the most carbon from the atmosphere.
What is photosynthesis?
100
The process of taking the tops of the mountains off of West Virginia's Mountains to get to the seams of coal near the surface.
What is mountain top removal?
200
These processes happen when water changes from a liquid to a gas phase and enters the atmosphere.
What are evaporation and evapotranspiration?
200
Rain water becomes slightly acidic because of this molecule.
What is carbon dioxide?
200
Most of the carbon is trapped here.
What is the lithosphere?
200
True or False: Carbon is in all living things.
True
200
The process of eliminating all the trees in an area for land development.
What is deforestation?
300
When water doesn't infiltrate into the ground it becomes this and forms streams, rivers, and oceans.
What is surface runoff?
300
When water enters into the ground via infiltration it goes into these underground storage areas..
What is an aquifer or groundwater storage?
300
An area the stores carbon for a very long time.
What is a carbon sink?
300
When animals and plants die, they go through this process releasing carbon back into the air as carbon dioxde.
What is decomposition?
300
When these hydrocarbons are burned, they release harmful toxic chemicals and excessive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
What are fossil fuels?
400
The entire surface area that all drains into the same body of water.
What is a watershed?
400
Draw the cycling of water with labels.
400
This term refers to something that adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
What is a carbon source?
400
When organic matter decays under the ground in the absence of this molecule it forms fossil fuels.
What is oxygen?
400
This term refers to the incremental increase of thermal energy trapped in the atmosphere.
What is Global warming?
500
Sediment carried by a body of moving water.
What is a suspended load?
500
Minerals, pollutants, and often indivisible things carried by a body of water.
What is a dissolved load?
500
Living things use carbohydrates for energy and to form proteins that build cells and for other processes. This biotic process releases carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.
What is respiration?
500
The total amount of a mass of a group of living things.
What is biomass?
500
When a group of living things is challenged by the actions of humans this is what they are considered.
What is imperiled or vulnerable?
600
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!!!! Two questions. 1200pts
When a solid water (aka) ice becomes a vapor and skips the water stage it goes through this process and its opposite, when vapor becomes solid ice.
What are sublimation and deposition?
600
These two things that power the water cycle.
What are radiant thermal energy from the sun and gravity?
600
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!!! 1200 Pts
This term refers to an area where carbon can be found.
What is a carbon reservoir?
600
During this time period in Earth's past there was a forest collapse and those trees became coal.
What is the Carboniferous?
600
This famous line started alarming scientists to a possible situation by collecting data at Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii.
