Unit 8 Review

How do the industrial, agricultural, and residential activities of humans most likely affect the groundwater in the area?

• The activities prevent most of the water from evaporating into the atmosphere

• Pollutants from the activities percolate through the soil and enter the water table

• The activities replace the groundwater used

• all of the above

Students designed an experiment to study where water drains after the sprinkler system is used to maintain the football field. They attached a container that added red dye to the water before it was sprayed onto the football field. Students placed water collection containers in many places near the field. Which location could the students place a water collection container to determine the effect of runoff from the football field?

• In the ground near the sprinkler

• In a gutter that flows to a nearby pond

• Directly under the sprinkler

• Suspended directly above the sprinkler

• water testing kit, beaker, hotplate

• hotplate, beaker, graduated cylinder

• water testing kit, handlens, notebook

Students designed an experiment to determine how the fertilizer runoff from fields effects ponds. Students used two large outdoor tanks and planted the same variety and amount of aquatic plants in soil placed at the bottom. Students added local fish and samples of local pond water with microorganisms in each tank. One tank was left alone while the other tank had fertilizer added daily. The following table contains possible for algae growth covering the surface of the tanks. The table in the picture contains data sets for algae growth covering the surface of the tanks. Which data set most likely represents the experiment's results after seven days?

• data set A

• data set B

• data set C

• data set D

When excessive amounts of hot water are discharged into a lake, the immediate result will most likely be a(n)-

**Think what happens in THERMAL pollution

• decrease in the amount of dissolved oxygen in the lake

• increase in the amount of dissolved oxygen in the lake

• increase in the amount dissolved chemical pollution in the lake

• decrease in the amount dissolved chemical pollution in the lake

Most of the damage done by hurricanes is caused by-

• storm surges that flood coastal areas

• lightning from thunderstorms

• trees falling due to high winds

• windows blowing out of buildings

What is the main difference in the formation of intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks?
