  • Q2
    How can water be an agent of physical weathering?
    by seeping into soil and dissolving minerals in the rocks
    by seeping into cracks in rocks and freezing
    by absorbing gases from the atmosphere and ground to chemically react with minerals
    by absorbing sulfur oxides and creating acid precipitation

  • Q3
    How could the removal of trees and vegetation impact an environment?
    by increasing transpiration
    `by increasing soil formation
    by increasing erosion
    by increasing oxygen production

  • Q4
    Large quantities of sand can be added to the beach to stabilize the shoreline. Which describes a disadvantage of this process?
    it causes inland erosion
    it is a short term solution
    it creates a wall that disrupts the vegetation along the coastline
    it creates a barrier that prevents the tides from occurring along the coastline

  • Q5
    Which is an advantage of safely using uranium as an energy source rather than using coal?
    Uranium produces energy without polluting the atmosphere, while burning coal can increase the CO2 in the atmosphere.
    Uranium is the most cost-efficient energy resource, while coal is the most expensive energy resource.
    Uranium reduces the amount of thermal pollution, while burning coal can increase the amount of thermal pollution.
    Uranium can be easily mined from deep within Earth, while coal is a hard resource to mine from deep within Earth.

  • Q6
    The drilling of freshwater increases along a coastal area, what is a likely consequence of this action?
    a decrease in salt concentration in inlet waterways
    the intrusion of salt water into aquifers
    the destruction of estuaries because of an increase in sea level
    the loss of water resources in estuaries

  • Q7
    Which results from the unequal heating of the ocean water of Earth?
    changes in tidal patterns
    constant sea level
    changes in ocean current patterns
    unchanging climate for all regions of Earth
    60s
  • Q8
    Why are ocean currents important to coastal regions?
    They increase the rate of precipitation as cold water moves along coastal regions.
    They can warm or cool the air temperatures along coastal regions.
    They move vertically pushing warm water and nutrients to the surface along coastal regions.
    They produce high and low tides along coastal regions.

  • Q9
    Which is formed when a section of impermeable rock forces groundwater to move laterally and emerge onto the surface of Earth?
    a geyser
    a spring
    an aquifer
    a well

  • Q10
    How could a long term decrease in precipitation impact an area?
    It could increase the average water level of lakes in the area.
    It could increase the amount of flooding in the area.
    It could decrease the amount of possible infiltration in the area.
    It could decrease the possible amount of damage to crops in the area.

  • Q11
    Which consequence could an exponentially growing human population have on drinkable water?
    It could cause an increase in the amount of water available for the population.
    It could cause an increase in cases of waterborne diseases.
    It could cause a decrease in needing water for survival.
    It could cause a decrease in the amount of waste and pollutants in the water supply.

  • Q12
    A local government is considering whether to build a dam. Which is an advantage of building this structure?
    it can decrease the accumulation of sediment in the water
    it can improve the natural habitat of plants and animals
    it is an inexpensive process
    It can create a storage place for water
