NAME: Ainesh Anumala, Maxwell Martinez PERIOD: 2 DATE: 12/14/2023 APES2324 - MIDTERM QUESTION ASSIGNMENT Ques Topic & Content Science Practice Reason why it should be included Question SAMPLE TOPIC 5.10 Impacts of Urbanization EIN-2.M.3 Impervious surfaces are human-made structures—such as roads, buildings, sidewalks, and parking lots—that do not allow water to reach the soil, leading to flooding. 5.E Explain what the data implies or illustrates about environmental issues. This is a mathematical application, which is easily differentiated between versions or class periods of a fundamental principle or enduring understanding. It requires the student to know percent change and apply it correctly in this instance. 13. Based on the diagrams above, what is the percent change in the amount of runoff in urban areas compared to forested areas? A) 81% decrease B) 45% increase C) 150% increase D) 450% increase 1 Topic 4.1 Plate Tectonics ERT-4.A.1 Convergent boundaries can result in the creation of mountains, island arcs, earthquakes, and volcanoes. 2.c. Explain how environmental concepts and processes represented visually relate to broader environmental issues This applies the concept of plate boundaries and sustainability of the earth and explores how a plate boundary can affect that sustainability. Which of the following best explains how continuous convergent plate boundaries happening frequently, can affect Earth’s sustainability. a) Frequent earthquakes can occur causing destruction of habitats and homes b) Convergent plates cause seafloor spreading leading to higher rates of CO2 in the Atmosphere. c) Volcanoes can form causing volcanic gases such as sulfur dioxide leading to globa cooling d) Rising magma plume can cause agricultural farms to be destroyed.

NAME: Ainesh Anumala, Maxwell Martinez PERIOD: 2 DATE: 12/14/2023 2 Topic 4.6 Watersheds Characteristics of a given watershed include its area, length, slope, soil, vegetation types, and divides with adjoining watersheds Skill 1.C: Explain environmental concepts, processes, or models in applied contexts. This applies the concept of watersheds and relates it to the concept of deforestation. This helps to explore the impacts that deforestation can have on watersheds. A farmer wants to create space to build his new farm near a watershed, which will require the removal of several large trees. Which of the following statements best describes the impact that the development would have on the watershed a) Removing large trees would cause an increase in temperature and keep the surrounding water and soil warmer. b) Removing the trees would lower rates of erosion c) Carbon rates in the atmosphere will be decreased d) Runoff rates will be greatly decreased. 3 TOPIC 4.1 Plate Tectonics ERT-4.A.3 Transform boundaries can result in earth quakes 2.C Explain how environmental concepts and processes represented visually relate to broader environmental issues This is an environmental concept that you have to know and identify since it requires the student to correctly identify the effect of a certain boundary Which plate boundary most commonly results in Earthquakes A. Transform plate boundary. B. Convergent plate boundary C. Divergent plate boundary D. Oceanic-continental boundary 4 4.2: Soil Formation and Erosion Ert-4.B.4 Identify a research method, design, and/or measure used. B Identify a research method, design, and/or measure used. This should be included because it requires the student to have a deep understanding of soil texture and different resources since they need to knowledge to be able to identify Which of the following would be most helpful to determine the soil texture of a sample? A A pH meter and conductivity meter B A soil core kit and a seismograph C A density gradient tube and a soil triangle D A quadrat and a transect line (From AP classroom) 5 4.6: Watersheds ERT-1 4.F.1 Describe the characteristics of a 1.C: Explain environmental concepts, This should be in the midterm because it requires the student to The Chesapeake Bay is a watershed that is located in six states and the District of Columbi Which of the following can cause an increase in water pollution in the watershed? A An increase in the number of grasses, trees, and shrubs near a watershed

NAME: Ainesh Anumala, Maxwell Martinez PERIOD: 2 DATE: 12/14/2023 watershed processes, or models in applied contexts. understand and explain a process in a certain text/concept B An increase in the natural systems near a watershed C An increase in stormwater runoff in urban areas D A decrease in the number of impervious surfaces near the watershed (From AP classroom 6 4.3 Soil Composition and Properties ERT-4.C.2 The particle size and composition of each soil horizon can affect the porosity, permeability, and fertility of the soil 4.C Describe an aspect of a research method, design, and/or measure used This should be included in order to better understand the importance of pore space in soil Why is better pore space for soil important? a) This allows air and water to enter sandy soil easily b) Better pore space means more clay which means better nutrients for the soil c) It’ll allow the soil to keep some water out in order to prevent the soil drowining d) It will prevent soil erosion 7 4.4 Atmosphere ERT-4.D.1 The atmosphere is made up of major gases, each with its own relative abundance Ert-4D Describe the structure and composition of the Earth’s atmosphere This should be included because we should not just know which layer has the hottest temperatures but also why it does. Which of the following best explains why the Thermosphere layer has the hottest temperatures a) The thickest O3 layer is found here where UV-B and UV-C rays are absorbed b) The atmosphere gases are mostly found here c) It absorbs harmful X-rays and UV radiation d) It is further away from the earths atmosphere 8 4.5 Global wind patterns ERT-4.E.1 Global wind patterns primarily result from the most intense solar radiation arriving at the equator, resulting in density differences and the Coriolis effect. ERT-4.E Explain how environmental factors can result in atmospheric circulation This should be added to better understand the concept of Hadley cells and how it works. Which of the following is the best explanation for the formation of Hadley cells in the tropics between 30 degrees N and 30 degrees S latitude a) The Sun warms the moist air at the equator and causes it to rise because of its low density. As the warm air moves away from the equator, it cools, becomes denser, and then sinks. b) Rising air over the equator is heated by the Sun, moves north, and then moves south to create the jet stream and trade winds. c) Heat from the ocean warms the moist air at the equator and causes it to rise becaus of its lower density. As the air becomes cooler, it becomes less dense and sinks. d) Air cools over the land at the equator and then rises as it moves north or south. 9 4.7 Solar Radiation and Earth’s seasons ENG-2.A.3 The highest solar radiation per unit area is received at the equator and decreases toward the poles. ENG-2.A Explain how the sun’s energy affects the Earth’s surface This applies the concept of the earth’s rotation around the sun and the terms to describe each phase. It allows us to determine how this rotation affects which days have the longest period of daylight Which of the following days in Earth’s yearly orbit would have the longest period of daylight in the Northern Hemisphere a) December Solstice b) March equinox c) June Solstice d) September equinox 10 4.2 Soil Formation and Erosion ERT-4.B.1 ERT-4.B Describe the characteristics This applies the concepts of the different soil layers that contribute to the soil Which option best describes the A-Horizon a) A-Horizon has the most biological activity and is one of the most important due t the ability of breaking down organic matter to release nutrients
