APES Unit 7 Progress Check. MCQ Questions and Answers Graded A+ Which of the following best describes the relationship between variables in the data table? C) Ozone maximum is correlated to average and maximum temperature. Which of the following claims is best supported by the data shown in the table? C) Isoprene's contribution to ozone levels in Berlin was greatest in July of both years. Which of the following best describes the process shown in the diagram above? B) Less-dense, warm air creates a temperature inversion between more-dense layers, trapping pollutants near the ground. In addition to a nearby mountain range, which of the following environmental conditions would be required for the process in the diagram to occur? A) A cool sea breeze and a high pressure system Which of the following is the most likely reason for the trend shown in the graph of fluctuating indoor radon levels over the course of a year? C) Radon levels tend to increase in the colder months because of the difference in temperature inside and outside the home, which creates a vacuum pulling radon into the home at a higher rate. Which of the following is most likely responsible for the indoor air pollutant shown in the graph? A) Cracks in the basement foundation Which of the following best describes the efficiency of dry scrubbers at removing particles that are less than 2 micrometers in diameter? D) Dry scrubbers are less than 10% efficient at removing particles less than 1μm in size Based on the data in the graph, which of the following methods would be most effective at removing the greatest amount of particulate matter from coal-burning power plant emissions? D) Wet scrubbers using a flow rate of 450L/min are best suited to remove large particles. Effects of Noise on Wildlife Sound, just like the availability of nesting materials or food sources, plays an important role in the ecosystem. Activities such as finding desirable habitat and mates, avoiding predators, protecting young, and establishing territories are all dependent on the acoustical environment. [Wildlife is] being forced to adapt to increasing noise levels. Research shows that males of at least one frog species are adapting to traffic noise by calling at a higher pitch. This could be problematic for the females, because they prefer lower-pitched calls, which indicate larger and more experienced males. In general, studies indicate that animals are stressed by noisy environments. The endangered Sonoran pronghorn avoids noisy areas frequented by military jets; female frogs exposed to traffic noise have more difficulty locating the male's signal; bats avoid hunting in areas with road noise. Combined wi D) Frog populations may decrease in size as a result of males changing the pitch of their calls.

Combined wi B) Prey populations are likely to increase in national parks because predators have a decreased ability to hear prey sounds.
