Exploring Nature's Wonders

What is the process called when water evaporates and then falls back to Earth as rain?

• Atmospheric condensation

• The water cycle

• Oceanic circulation

• The hydrological process

How does climate change affect the environment?

• Climate change leads to more stable weather patterns.

• Climate change has no effect on wildlife populations.

• Climate change negatively impacts the environment by causing extreme weather, habitat loss, and biodiversity decline.

• Climate change improves air quality and reduces pollution.

Name one renewable resource and one non-renewable resource.

• Geothermal energy, Uranium

• Wind energy, Natural gas

• Renewable: Solar energy, Non-renewable: Coal

• Hydropower, Oil

What is the term for the series of organisms each dependent on the next as a source of food?

• Food chain

• Energy flow

• Food web

• Nutrient cycle

What are the main stages of the water cycle?

• Evaporation, condensation, precipitation, collection

• Sublimation, filtration, irrigation, runoff

• Desalination, evaporation, filtration, storage

• Condensation, freezing, melting, evaporation

How can we reduce our carbon footprint to combat climate change?

• Increase meat consumption

• Adopt sustainable practices such as using public transport, reducing energy use, eating less meat, and recycling.

• Drive more frequently

• Use more plastic products

What is an example of a primary consumer in a food chain?

• Grass

• Rabbit

• Frog

• Eagle

Why are forests considered important natural resources?

• Forests have no impact on climate regulation.

• Forests are important natural resources because they support biodiversity, provide raw materials, regulate climate, and maintain ecological balance.

• Forests are primarily used for urban development.

• Forests are only valuable for recreational activities.

What role do plants play in the water cycle?

• Plants absorb water but do not release any vapor.

• Plants release carbon dioxide instead of water vapor.

• Plants only store water and do not participate in the water cycle.

• Plants contribute to the water cycle by absorbing water and releasing water vapor through transpiration.

How does pollution impact the food chain?

• Pollution disrupts the food chain by introducing toxins that accumulate in organisms, leading to biomagnification and ecosystem harm.

• Pollution only affects air quality, not food sources.

• Pollution improves the growth of certain plants in the food chain.

• Pollution has no effect on the food chain.
