Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 10mins
transpiration is
Evaporation from leaf stomata
Precipitation from leaf stomata
Whatsamatta with you?
Condensation from leaf stomata
All but one are effects of deforestation:
Soil Erosion/increased runoff
Decreased Biodiversity/loss of habitat
Increased atmospheric CO2 / Decreased Ocean pH
Eutrophication/ algal blooms
Less ground water and less precipitation are probably due to what's known as:
A drought
A famine
Nitrogen Fixing bacteria
Urbanization
The biogeochemical/nutrient cycle affected by ammonia fertilizers:
Hydrologic (water)
Carbon
Nitrogen
Phosphorus
What organism is responsible for “fixing” nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle?
Plants
Animals
Humans
Bacteria
The atmosphere plays a significant role on most cycles except for one that we learned about. Which cycle does not incle the atmosphere as a significant part of its cycle?
CaRbOn
WaTeR
nItRoGeN
PhOsPhOrUs
what would an over-enrichment of phosphorus cause in a body of water?
Algal bloom -> Eutrophication
THE DEATH OF ALL THINGS NOT BEARING THE NAME STEVE
Increase in carbon dioxide and global warming
El Nino and La Nina
What is the MAIN thing humans do that has a significant effect on the atmosphere's greenhouse gas?
Commit Cellular Respiration
Urbanization
Ocean Acidification
Combustion of (burning) Fossil Fuels
Why is ozone one greenhouse gas we want?
It's a shield against the sun's UV rays
There's a hole in it
It's...smelly.
There is less of it than CO2
What are the positive affects of higher atmospheric carbon dioxide levels?
Higher Sea levels
More acidic ocean water
Plants have more CO2 to use for photosynthesis
Humans can breathe more.
What are the negative effects of higher atmospheric CO2 levels?
Global Warming/higher sea levels/acidic oceans
No more snow days
Raised Ocean pH
Carbon Dioxide
What is the role of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
To turn the sky blue. They're called greenhouse for another reason entirely.
To be big bad all the time.
They trap some of the Sun’s heat energy within the atmosphere, helping to maintain Earth’s average temperature
An El Nino winter in the northern United States will cause…?
Warmer than normal temperatures
Colder than normal temperatures
Normal temperatures
Temperatures of temperatures.
Prior to the Industrial Era, pre-1780, known causes of climate change included ALL BUT
Changes in the sun's intensity
Burning Fossil Fuels
Changes in Earth's Orbit
Volcanic Eruptions
What is the collective role of water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone, and methane in the atmosphere?
They are greenhouse gasses that regulate heat
They're part of the phosphorus cycle
They're part of the Phosphorus cycle
They're all man-made climate change phenomena
This is the term for the weather patterns that an area experiences over a long period of time?
Weather
La Nino
El Nina
Climate
If the Earth’s atmosphere did not contain any water vapor, what would the temperature on the Earth’s surface be like?
There would be more plants
There would be more fish
Colder
Warmer
During an El Niño year, there is increased precipitation in the Southern United States, but the north is warmer and dry. Where does the moisture causing the precipitation in the South come from?
The Pacific
The Atlantic
The North
The Westerlies
Human activities that do NOT increase the amount of atmospheric carbon:
Photosynthesis
Cellular Respiration
Planting more trees/cover crops
Driving a lot.
To study for the test I'll probably do this the most:
Listen to some of the edpuzzles again on YouTube while I play video games
Absolutely nothing, end up trying to cheat, and wonder why I don't get a 100
PLAY THIS QUIZIZZ TOO MUCH
Look over my notes and study guide.
