Roots of plants

4
Q

How Great Lakes were formed

Q

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

6
Q

Should food waste be composed or put in disposal
Explain each
Which is better stewardship and why

A

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

7
Q

What area of ocean living or no living resources would you want to give money to and why

A

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

8
Q

A

3%

9
Q

What’re some characteristic of bilent volcano

A

Shoot hot ash and pyro classics

10
Q

Effects of water that runs over surface of land

A

Erodes rock and soil and changes land

11
Q

Would water be less or more slaty in warmer part of world

A

Less water goes into ocean bc of dry climate so more evaporation equals more salt

12
Q

Are earthquakes always felt humans

A

No some are too small

13
Q

A region we

L suited for hydroelectric power has

A

Lakes suitable for da,a
Hilly
Waterfalls

14
Q

How does oxygen and carbon dioxide levels Change in a pond

A

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

15
Q

What are the three types of stress to the earths crust experiences and what causes each

A

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

16
Q

Describe boundaries of tectonic plates

A

Rocky jagged fractured

17

Q

How does an earthquake center you travel

A

Seismic waves

23
Q

What are the three types of seismic waves how fast do they travel what do they traveled through which causes the most damage

A

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

24
Q

How does chemical weathering affect underground rock and soil

A

Carbonic acid is ground water and carbon dioxide away blinds down and leaves cabins

25
Q

Why should we be good stewards of groundwater

A

It provides water for us to live and it is hard to clean ones it’s polluted

26
Q

Why are there variances in pond water temperature

A

Because it’s shallow

27

A

Under ocean water
