EVR 2001 Exam 3
Acid deposition - ANS-acid precipitation plus dry-particle fallout
acid precipitation - ANS-(acid rain)
any precipitation with pH much less than five.Five
Adaptation - ANS-(protecting against weather trade)
count on damage in plan adaptive responses to lower vulnerability of human beings, property,
and the biosphere
Aerosols - ANS-Microscopic liquid or strong debris (dust, pollen, sea salt, and many others.)
from land and water
Agropolis - ANS--The "remoted "traditional metropolis.
-Minimal transport connections to the outdoor world.
-Self-reliant and food and forced sources from its neighborhood hinterland
air pollution - ANS-substances within the surroundings (gases in aerosols) have dangerous
outcomes
quantity of earth's floor protected in water?
How much of it is saltwater? Clean? - ANS-covers 75% of earth
ninety seven.Five% is salt
2.5% to be had for consuming
anthropogenic/human resources of greenhouse outcomes - ANS-sulfate aerosols, soot, ozone,
growth GHG's
aquifers - ANS-Layers of porous cloth thru which groundwater moves
-It is tough to determine the place of aquifers
-Layers of porous rock are located between layers of impervious rock
holds 99% of all freshwater
artesian water - ANS-comes from a natural spring created among confined aquifer's
bed load - ANS-debris regularly pushed alongside the bottom of frame of water
biofuels - ANS-fuels derived from agricultural crops
Biomagnification - ANS-pollution turn out to be more focused whilst going up the food chain
, Causes of climate exchange - ANS--ozone (a little, maybe)
-water (nah fam)
-methane (small)
-carbon dioxide (YES)
chemical pollution (water pollution) - ANS-water soluble inorganic substances that are
poisonous (ie. Lead)
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) - ANS-chemicals which have the capacity to damage the ozone;
ex.) hair-spray, refrigeration, and so forth.
(Destroy the ozone layer)
City - ANS-Urbanized city with a nearby authorities in vicinity
Clean Air Act of 1970 - ANS-ambient standards: degrees protecting human health and the
environment
-foundation of US air pollutants control efforts
Clean Water Act of 1972 - ANS--charged through EPA with restoring and retaining the chemical,
bodily, and biological integrity of waters
-handed via congress in reaction to public outrage approximately polluted water
climate - ANS-the result of long time regional weather patterns
1. Ocean circulate
2. Trendy atmospheric circulate patterns and precipitation
three. Rotation and tilt of earth, seasons
4. Sun radiation
climate alternate - ANS-changes in behavior of nearby weather. Global warming reasons
weather alternate
colloidal and dissolved organic cloth - ANS-Very first-class debris of precise natural cloth, micro
organism, urine, soaps, and detergents and different cleaners
composting toilets - ANS-units that convert human excrement into a soil-like cloth that should be
buried or hauled away for disposal
Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) - ANS-large number of animals raised in
confinement.
More than 50% of cattle and US are grown this manner
-can cause sickness, antibiotic resistance, deforestation, carbon dioxide a methane released,
animal waste merchandise (nitrogen and manure)
