Biodiversity refers to

the variety of species on Earth

What effect will an invasive species have on the carrying capacity of an ecosystem?

The carrying capacity will only decrease for those in competition for same resource

The carrying capacity will increase

The carrying capacity for everyone will decrease

The carrying capacity for all animals will stay the same

Kudzu has overgrown many parts of southern Missouri and native ground plants have disappeared from the area. This is an example of:

Competition occurring between the native and invasive species

Parasitism between kudzu and the native plants

A predator prey relationship between ground plants and kudzu

Commesalism occurring between the kudzo and native plants

causes sea levels to rise because it adds water to the ocean.

does not cause sea levels to rise because the water fills the space left by the melted sea ice.

Which of the following is the best conclusion that can be made from this graph?

atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have increased steadily since 1960

atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have been decreasing since 1960

Hawaii has a lot of carbon dioxide

humans have been working hard to decrease carbon dioxide levels

The main human activity that releases greenhouse gases is

using public transportation and there by reduce the affects of greenhouse gases.

How does the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere affect climate?

As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, temperatures increase

As carbon dioxide concentration increase, temperatures decrease.

Carbon dioxide concentrations have no affect on climate

As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, temperatures become more random.

This graph shows the sources of the nitrogen entering the Gulf of Mexico as pollution. What is one conclusion you can make based on the information in the graph?

Most nitrogen pollution found in the Gulf of Mexico comes from farming crops.

Nitrogen that comes from the atmosphere is more harmful than nitrogen that comes from crops.

Corn and soybeans are the only crops associated with nitrogen pollution.

Nitrogen is not a problem in the Gulf of Mexico.

What is one way humans are trying to positively impact the ocean?

Transporting goods in ocean vessels

Which of the following is NOT a source of pollution in the ocean?

Sand drifting along the bottom of the ocean floor.

Nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilizers used on land.

Emissions from gas-burning vehicles.

Increased industrialization will most likely

increase environmental carrying capacity

increase the stability of ecosystems

Which human activity would preserve nonrenewable resources?

removing carnivores from a forest

heating homes with fossil fuels

Approximately 75 percent of the Earth's surface is covered in water. So why is water considered such a precious resource?

Only a small fraction of the Earth's water is freshwater available for drinking and irrigation

The greenhouse effect is causing most of the world's freshwater to be trapped in the atmosphere

Each year, more freshwater is being trapped in icecaps located at the North and South Poles

Global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions will likely cause Earth's oceans to evaporate
