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

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

Agriculture and Industry.
Agriculture: (farming) the growing of plants and livestock
Industry: The manufacturing (creating) of materials.
A ______ was created from the deposition of sediments caused from Water Erosion.
Delta
What agent mainly forms the landform mushroom rock?
Wind
Define evaporation
The process of water turning from a liquid to a gas.
****DOUBLE JEOPARDY***
What step of the water cycle would come after evaporation?
Condensation
What nutrient does each letter stand for on Fertilizer?
K- Potassium
P- Phosphorus
N- Nitrogen
****DOUBLE JEOPARDY***
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

Fertilizer run off into the Mississippi has created what phenomena in the Gulf of Mexico?
A dead zone
Where does the energy come from that powers the water cycle?
The Sun
1.) Define Biological Activity weathering
2.) This is an example of what kind of weathering?
1.) Biological Activity: When living parts of nature breaks apart rock
2.) Mechanical

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
****DOUBLE JEOPARDY***
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
****DOUBLE JEOPARDY***
1.) What element is needed for Oxidation weathering?
2.) What kind of weathering is this an example of?
1.) Oxygen
2.) Chemical
****DOUBLE JEOPARDY***
Which ingredients in fertilizer are harmful to Earths Water?
A.) Nitrogen
B.) Hydrogen
C.) Phosphorus
D.) Potassium
Nitrogen and Phosphorus

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.
Where is the DEAD ZONE located that is caused from the Mississippi Water Shed?
The Gulf of Mexico
The majority of water is found in ______. Which is an example of _________ step in the water cycle
Oceans, Accumulation/Collection
Define:
1.) Unloading
2.) Thermal Expansion
3.) Abrasion
1.) Unloading: The removal of great weight on rocks causing them to crack.
2.) Thermal Expansion: the effects of heating and cooling on a rock
3.) Abrasion:The constant and repeated hitting of water (or wind) on rocks causing them to break.

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!
