Mining involves the _____________, _________________ and _________________ of minerals.

Extraction, Refining, Processing

Retrieving, Highjacking, and Selling

Protecting the habitats of local wildlife

IPM is likely to use all of the following techniques EXCEPT

increased use of traditional pesticides.

habitat creation for pest predators.

planting herbicide-resistant crops.

CAFOs make meat more economical, but may have some negative environmental impacts. These include all of the following EXCEPT

increased use of land area over other types of animal farming.

increase in nutrients in stormwater runoff.

increase in sediments in stormwater runoff.

high concentrations of animal waste.

Overgrazing of grasslands can lead to reduced range quality. Two of the major effects of overgrazing are

eutrophication and increased methane production

higher fire potential and increased productivity

higher primary productivity and ammonification

All of the following are problems created by the deforestation of rainforests except?

an increase in the availability of grazing land

loss of biodiversity in the area

changes in local rainfall levels

Saltwater intrusion into groundwater occurs most often when

surface salts from irrigation seep into the ground

storms at sea create unusually low tides

less surface water reaches the water table

the water table near the cost drops

Which of the following is most likely to increase both the nutrient levels and the bacterial content of lake water?

Thermal pollution from a nearby power plant

Increased aeration of the lake water

Percolation of the water through soil to groundwater

An integrated pest-management approach to pest control emphasizes which of the following?

Reduction of crop damage to an economically tolerable level

Eradication of the pest population

Use of plant monocultures to simplify spraying

Elimination of the use of second-generation pesticides

Farmers use various methods of irrigation on crops. Which of the following statements correctly pairs an irrigation method with an advantage or disadvantage?

Flood irrigation is often used in agricultural fields, however, it increases surface erosion and salinization of the soil.

Drip irrigation is readily used in large-scale farming because of the low cost associated with this method.

Furrow irrigation is a method in which farmers plant two different types of crops in alternating strips which increases productivity.

Spray irrigation loses the least amount of water to evaporation.

The farming of fish such as salmon at aquaculture facilities poses a threat to marine ecosystems because

the farmed fish can escape and outcompete wild fish for food and territory

farm-raised salmon often pass on toxic chemicals such as mercury to eagles and other fish-eating birds

fewer wild fish will be harvested for human consumption

invasive plant species common in aquaculture facilities can spread to nearby waters

Which of the following best illustrates the concept of the tragedy of the commons?

Depletion of an aquifer by regional farmers

Legislation of catch limits to avoid depletion of fish stocks in a shared lake

Inadvertent destruction of beneficial species while attempting to control pests

Destruction of landscape by surfacing mining on private land
