FINAL Flashcards
River near here
Skukill
Old- slow moving flags nd wide floodplains
Characteristics of lithosphere
All of above
How can you reduce erosion
Roots of plants
How Great Lakes were formed
Glaciers
Explain how important earthquakes and volcanoes are
Should these be prevented
How can we avoid damage
They cause land to be recycled and refresh the crust
No bc it helps to replenish the earth
Build stronger buildings
Should food waste be composed or put in disposal
Explain each
Which is better stewardship and why
Composts- becomes soil through help of organism and time
Disposal- cut up to septic tank and biologically degraded
Composite bc it can help our ecosystems and plants and organisms
What area of ocean living or no living resources would you want to give money to and why
I would want to give it to the benthic organisms bc since they’re so far down we can’t really study them and there may be so,e we do to know about
What percent of water on earth is fresh water
3%
What’re some characteristic of bilent volcano
Shoot hot ash and pyro classics
Effects of water that runs over surface of land
Erodes rock and soil and changes land
Would water be less or more slaty in warmer part of world
Less water goes into ocean bc of dry climate so more evaporation equals more salt
Are earthquakes always felt humans
No some are too small
A region we
L suited for hydroelectric power has
Lakes suitable for da,a
Hilly
Waterfalls
How does oxygen and carbon dioxide levels Change in a pond
During the day water, plants, and algae photosynthesize and release oxygen so the carbon dioxide levels fall
at night animals are still breathing so they use oxygen in the carbon dioxide and oxygen
What are the three types of stress to the earths crust experiences and what causes each
Tensional stress is too tough time plates moving apart
Compressional stress is two tectonic plates coming together
Shearing stress is two tectonic plates lighting passage weather
Describe boundaries of tectonic plates
Rocky jagged fractured
God has given us
Volcanoes
Currents dangerous how should you avoid while
They pull you out to see so you should swim parallel to shore
Is the largest drainage basin in the United States
Sippy River
What causes ocean tides
The moons gravity
Do mountains change
Yes, plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanoes reshape mountains
How does an earthquake center you travel
Seismic waves
What are the three types of seismic waves how fast do they travel what do they traveled through which causes the most damage
P waves of the fastest; they travel through solids liquids and gases; and to the earth
S waves are the second fastest; travel through solids; and through there
Surface waves are the slowest; a travel across the earth surface; are the most damaging
How does chemical weathering affect underground rock and soil
Carbonic acid is ground water and carbon dioxide away blinds down and leaves cabins
Why should we be good stewards of groundwater
It provides water for us to live and it is hard to clean ones it’s polluted
Why are there variances in pond water temperature
Because it’s shallow
Edges of continents
Under ocean water
