  2. Air Pollution - 200 This primary air pollutant is the main precursor to Industrial Smog and acid deposition. SO2

  3. Air Pollution - 400 Gasoline, cleaning solvents, and paint thinners are all sources for this class of pollutants. VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) Aka - hydrocarbons

  4. Air Pollution - 600 This secondary pollutant is a very strong oxidant as a well as a respiratory irritant. It forms when NO2 is acted on by UV radiation. Ozone

  5. Air Pollution - 800 Electrostatic precipitators send an electrical charge through the gases released from coal burning, and then use magnets to pull out this primary pollutant. Particulates/ soot

  6. Air Pollution - 1000 These are installed in all motor vehicles to reduce the amount of Carbon Monoxide in the atmosphere. Catalytic Converters

  7. Atmosphere - 200 What are the 2 most abundant elements in air? Nitrogen (78%), Oxygen (20.94%), Argon (0.93%)

  8. Atmosphere - 400 What is the name of the convection current shown in the figure? Hadley cell

  9. Atmosphere - 600 This serves as the main source of heat entering the atmosphere. The oceans (evaporation and condensation) = Latent Heat

  10. Atmosphere - 800 Produced when several pollutants from automobile exhaust are acted on by sunlight. Photochemical smog

  11. Atmosphere - 1000 This is when sunlight is reflected off of low-lying clouds or arctic ice, creating an atmospheric cooling effect Albedo

  12. Climate Change - 200 Which gas involved in global climate change is increasing in the atmosphere at the fastest rate? CO2

  13. Climate Change - 400 Anaerobic respiration leads an increase in this GHG. Methane

  14. Climate Change - 600 This type of solar radiation is moving too fast to be absorbed by greenhouse gases. UV

  15. Climate Change - 800 CO2 concentrations have increased by this percentage since the Industrial Revolution. 30 – 35%

  16. Climate Change - 1000 Most climate change scientists agree that there is a strong correlation between atmospheric CO2 levels and this. Mean global temperatures

  17. Earth and Energy - 200 What type of plate boundary is shown in the figure? Convergent plate boundary

  18. Earth and Energy - 400 What energy source provides the United States its largest % of commercial energy? Oil – 39%

  19. Earth and Energy - 600 Which source is the fastest growing energy resource for the world? Wind

  20. Earth and Energy - 800 World oil supplies and prices are expected to be controlled over the long term by OPEC

  21. Earth and Energy - 1000 DAILY DOUBLE !!!

  22. Potpourri - 200 This population is considered by many to be the “canary in the coal mine” when it comes to the dangers of climate change. Polar bears

  23. Potpourri - 400 This international agreement led to the phasing out/banning of CFC’s. The Montreal Protocol

  24. Potpourri - 600 The removal of electrons from a molecule or compound is known as this. Oxidation

  25. Potpourri - 800 The 2 most basic processes in an ecosystem are: flow of energy and cycling of chemical elements

  26. Potpourri - 1000 The step of the nitrogen cycle where nitrogen gas (N2) is converted to a solid form (NH4+). Nitrogen Fixation

  27. Earth and Geo - 500 Earth and Geo - 1000 These 2 cities are most infamous for nuclear power plant accidents Chernobyl and Three Mile Island
