Earth materials in a river.
Water in a river.
Oxygen in a river.
Water on Earth is mostly found in
oceans
ice caps
lakes
rivers
Which liquid dissolves more substances than any other?
oil
carbon dioxide
water
vinegar
Which is NOT a water quality indicator?
human population
turbidity
dissolved oxygen
dissolved solids
If there's an excess (too many) nutrients in water, it can be due to
decrease in water quality
farming practices
too much water filtering
decrease in human population
Excess (too many) nutrients in water are made up of
nitrogen and phosphorus
sodium chloride and nitrogen
sodium chloride and calcium chloride
fertilizer and calcium chloride
Dead Zones are created by
insects in the water
too many nutrients in the water
too little nutrients in the water
too many contour lines
Building on a river can cause this problem.
land shrinking
increased flood risk
erosion and deposition
all of the above
Which of the following shows Human Impact on Earth's Water System?
hydroelectric dam
flooded homes
beaver dam
fallen tree
Human Activity causes environmental changes to WATER. Select THREE things humans do to change our WATER system.
Humans increase turbidity (cloudiness) of water because more dirt ends up in the water.
Humans increase nutrient pollution because fertilizer ends up in the water.
Humans decrease the amount of nutrients in the water causing plant life to die.
Humans create dead zones because excess nutrients end up in the water.
Human Activity causes environmental changes to LAND. Select THREE things humans do to change our LAND system.
Humans increase the amount of erosion because of building on the land.
Humans put down concrete and roads which caused water to runoff the land, instead of being absorbed.
Humans create buildings which destroys plants and animal habitats.
Humans create Forest Preserves and allow the land to remain untouched.
How can builders mitigate (lesson) the impact of human activity on Earth's Water?
Builders can construct buildings on the land near the wetlands.
Builders can reduce erosion by building houses to stop the water from running off the land.
Builders can reduce runoff and erosion by planting trees, bushes, and grass.
Builders can build a lot of parks. This will make people have to use a lot of water to make the parks look nice..
How does planting trees, bushes, and grasses help the land?
TWO ANSWERS
Soil doesn't wash away because the roots keep it in place.
Soil washes away the land making room for more building areas.
Plants absorb the water instead of it becoming runoff.
Plants absorb the water causing more floods.
What happens first?
erosion
deposition
weathering
Weathering is
Sediments moved by wind, water, or ice
Sediments dropped to the ground
A destructive force that breaks rocks apart creating sediments
What (usually) happens after weathering?
deposition
erosion
weathering
Erosion is
Sediments moved by wind, water, or ice
Sediments dropped to the ground
A destructive force that breaks rocks apart creating sediments
What (usually) happens last?
weathering
erosion
deposition
Deposition is
Sediments moved by wind, water, or ice
Sediments dropped to the ground
A destructive force that breaks rocks apart creating sediments
