300
Is this an example of work? Why or why not. A person pushing a heavy cart that would not move.
Not work, the cart is not moving.
300
Floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes

What is Geography

400
How does human activity affect our surface water and groundwater?
Runoff takes our trash into our local watershed and causes pollution.
400
They shape land surfaces.
How does weathering and erosion effect our environment?
400
Water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and acid rain.
What are the agents of Chemical Weathering?
500
An example is the energy in our food is transformed to heat energy through our digestive system.
What is an example of Chemical Energy transforming to Thermal (heat) Energy?
500

500
Describe how different catastrophic events impact our environment?
Floods and hurricanes causes water erosion and deposition. Tornadoes causes destruction of buildings and wind erosion. Earthquakes caused destruction of buildings and destruction of land masses.
500
They create landforms. Example: Deltas in coastal areas.
How does deposition effect our environment?
500
Wind, gravity, ice wedging, and the growth of plants.
What are the agents of Mechanical Weathering?
