Which of the following pH measurements of rainwater would indicate acid precipitation/rain?

• pH 6.0

• pH 4.1

• pH 7.3

• pH 9.6

Where is the "GOOD" ozone located?

• troposphere

• stratosphere

• mesosphere

• thermosphere

Which of the following government agencies is responsible for the Clean Air Act?

• the USDA

• the EPA

• the USDOJ

Which of the following best describes the process shown in the diagram above?

• Less-dense, cool air rises up and mixes with the denser warm air above it, increasing the amount of thermal pollution in the atmosphere.

• Less-dense, warm air creates a temperature inversion between more-dense layers, trapping pollutants near the ground.

• Dense, warm air from the mountains on the right pushes into the less-dense, cool air mass, causing an inversion layer.

• Movement of air currents over urban areas decreases the amount of photochemical smog during summer months.
