  1. Apes exam review Day 6

  2. pH Scale Calcium Carbonate Normal Rain Ammonia Sulfuric Acid Orange Juice Acid Rain Blood

  3. The process by which water is transferred from the land to the atmosphere by evaporation from the soil and other surfaces by transpiration from plants. • Explain what evapotranspiration is, and why it is significant… It is responsible for 15% of atmospheric water vapor.

  4. hydroponics • Plants are grown in nutrient-rich water with/without soil. • Water Is reused and recycled through the system.

  5. Tropospheric ozone

  6. Persistent Organic Pollutants • The acronym POP refers to the Which is important because… Organic compounds that are resistant to degrading in the environment, POPs biomagnify. One example is pesticides.

  7. Land area that delivers water, sediment, and dissolved substances via small streams, to a major stream or river. • Explain what a watershed is, and why it is significant… Anything that is deposited in the land of a watershed eventually ends up in the river/ocean.

  8. Wetlands • Erosion control • Wildlife/Fisheries habitat • Flood control • Ground water recharge • Natural filter • Rare species habitat

  9. Hydroelectric dam

  10. Hazardous waste Poisonous Chemically Reactive Corrosive Flammable

  11. A complex series of climatic changes affecting the equatorial Pacific region and beyond every 5-7 years. • Explain what an el Niño event is, and why it is significant… The trade winds weaken or reverse, waters warm near S. America and prevent upwelling. Also effects weather substantially in other regions.

  12. A device that removes pollutants from a gas stream (like furnace fumes). • Explain what a wet scrubber is, and how it works… The gas stream is brought in in contact with a scrubbing liquid, capturing them in the liquid droplets. The final liquid must be treated before being released.

  13. A device that removes suspended dust particles from a gas or exhaust. • Explain what an electrostatic precipitator is, and how it works… High voltage is applied – the electrostatic charge and collecting the particles on charged plates.

  14. Acid rain

  15. A form of malnutrition caused by protein deficiency in the diet. • Kwashiorkor is Results in “bloated bellies”. Common in developing countries.

  16. Severe undernourishment. • Marasmus is Causes an infant’s or child’s weight to be significantly low for their age. Common in developing countries.

  17. Energycalculation On the chalkboard

  18. Not In My Backyard • The acronym NIMBY refers to Which is… Opposition by residents to a proposal for a new development because it is close to them, even though it is needed by society. (i.e. landfills, power plants, wind farms).

  19. Air pollutants - formaldehyde • Significant indoor air pollutant. • Found in building & insulating materials.

  20. Air pollutants - radon • A radioactive, colorless, odorless gas. • Originates from rocks & soils • Can vent upwards into homes from basements

  21. Air pollutants - mercury • Found in many rocks, including coal. • Coal burning power plants are largest anthropogenic source.

  22. Air pollutants – carbon monoxide • Motor vehicle exhaust is the main source • Other sources are fossil fuel burning

  23. Air pollutants – nitrous oxide • Automobile engines and coal burning power plants are the main sources. • Furnaces, etc.

  24. Health effects of lead • Learning disabilities  ↓ IQ • ADD & Behavior issues • Nervous system damage • Speech and language impairment

  25. Green revolution

  26. Lake zones

  27. Where’s that biome? Russia and Canada • Taiga • Desert • Tropical rainforest Upper Africa – Algeria, Libya, Niger Brazil

  28. Where’s that biome? Congo, Nigeria • Tropical Grassland • Temperate Deciduous Forest US, France

  29. Where’s that biome? China, US • Temperate grassland • Coral Reef • tundra Australia, Indonesia, Phillipines Russia, Canada

  30. Water disinfection methods • Chlorine • Ozone • UV radiation

  31. Ocean acidification • This occurs in oceans/lakes and other bodies of water • and in the blood

  32. World map – equator

  33. World map – Mediterranean sea Trade, Endemic Species, Pollution

  34. World map – Ogallala aquifer Largest Aquifer in US.

  35. World map – Island of Mauritius Where the Dodo lived.
