ENVS 101 FINAL Questions with Correct Answers
The scientific process and knowledge is based on ________. Correct
Answer-A systematic process of learning about and testing our
understanding of the world
A hypothesis is ________. Correct Answer-A testable proposition that
explains an observed phenomenon or answers a question
The process by which several researchers review another researcher's
manuscript prior to publication to ensure research quality is referred to
as ________. Correct Answer-Peer review
Sustainable development ________. Correct Answer-Means consuming
resources without compromising future availability
Which cycle drives the other cycles through the movement of runnoff?
Correct Answer-Hydrologic
What elements are in CHNOPS, and why are they important to
environmental science? Correct Answer-CHNOPS is carbon, hydrogen,
nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, and sulfur. These six elements make up
the majority of Earth's mass, including humans ourselves. They interact
through cycles, like the carbon, hydrologic, and sulfur cycles, to alter, or
change, the world around us everyday.
Anthropogenic refers to human involvement. Correct Answer-TRUE
, Explain what happens to the soil when trees die off from fires and clear
cutting. Correct Answer-Deforestation, or trees dying from fires and
clear cutting, result in a loss of biodiversity. The soil experiences a loss
of nutrients needed for sustaining growth of plants and the soil chemistry
itself is transformed. The soil also experiences erosion from the loss of
coverage, like trees, which results in more exposure of land surface to
the sun. Carbon dioxide levels rise due to the loss of trees performing
photosynthesis to remove the carbon dioxide out of the air.
Entropy will _________. Correct Answer-Increase over time
As matter moves through the cycles, it cannot be created or destroyed,
only ___________. Correct Answer-TRANSFORMED
A positive feedback loop Correct Answer-Drives a system farther to the
extreme
Environmental Science uses math to determine Correct Answer-
Population growth and its effects
Weather patterns
Fresh Water Availability
The Arts and Humanities are NOT grounded in math and science
Correct Answer-FALSE
