Chapter 3, Problem 16MCQ

1. The field of hydrogeology includes: a. soil water movement b. rainfall runoff and flood generation c. placement of water wells to optimize the quantity and quality of water supplies d. all of the above e. a and c 2. Groundwater occurrence and movement has no direct influence on: a. earthquake activity b. land subsidence c. land slide potential d. hydraulic conductivity e. soil formation f. none of the above 3. In terms of Earth's water budget, groundwater ranks a. higher b. lower 4. Ultimately, the hydrological cycle is driven by: a. geothermal energy fluxes toward Earth's surface b. orographic rainfall due to abrupt changes in elevation c. solar energy fluxes toward Earth's surface d. adiabatic cooling in the atmosphere 5. In the equation below, the variable "Var" refers to: a. void ratio b. pressure head c. hydraulic conductivity d. intrinsic permeability than glaciers and ice caps: P Var = p.g

Deep water- waves with constant wavelength Wave movement Approaching shore- waves touch bottom (wavelength decreases) Surf zone (breakers form) Waves touch bottom as they encounter water depths that are less than half a wavelength C E B 00000 00000 Depth is >½ wavelength 0000 0000 Velocity decreases (wave height increases)

Activity 12.1: Wave Characteristics Pg 200 1. Refer to Figure 12.1 and select the letter that identifies each of the following.wave crestwave troughwavelengthwave heightwave base 2. Below what depth would a submarine have to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves with a wavelength of 24 meters?____ mActivity 12.2: Deep Versus Shallow Water Waves Pgs 201-202Refer to Figure 12.1 to answer the following questions. 1. Do particles in deep-water waves trace out circular or elliptical paths? 2. Near the shore in shallow water, do water particles trace out circular or elliptical  3. In shallow water, are water particles in the wave crest ahead of or behind those at the bottom of the wave? 4. As waves approach the shore, do their heights increase or decrease? Do wavelengths become longer or shorter? 5. In the surf zone, is the water in the crest of a wave falling forward or standing still? 6. What is the velocity of deep-water waves that have a wavelength of 46 meters and a…

Discussion Question: Climate Change A+ The link below explains how scientists study past climates. After the introduction, there are 6 more links within the web page. Please go over each of the six links. Then, write one paragraph about each link explaining what you learned in your own voice. You should end up with 6 paragraphs total. http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/Paleoclimatology/paleoclimatology_intro.php Please always write in your own words and hence, your own voice. Plagiarism is completely unnecessary.

1. List the five REASONS for seasons. Please be careful. I am not looking for INFLUENCES on seasons such as, Global Warming and winds. Think about axial parallelism, for example. (20 points). 2. Are we closest to the sun during the Northern Hemisphere summer or winter (5 points)? Is it called the aphelion or the perihelion (5 points)? 3. When does everyone receive 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night (5 points)? 4. During what Northern Hemisphere season do the penguins in Antarctica (the Southern Hemisphere) receive 24 hours of darkness (5 points)? 5. The water molecule is polar with two offset hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. What are two characteristics or properties of the water molecule due to its polarity (10 points)? 6. The dew point temperature is 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Relative humidity is at 50%. Saturation vapor pressure is 24 millibars. What is the actual vapor pressure in the air in units of millibars? It is not a trick question. Look in the textbook under…

Discussion Question: Ecosystems Essentials A+ of 1000 Exof-spil OCEAN The Human Denominator Assignment As we learn about how the earth works, we learn to identify the different earth spheres and how they overlap and affect one another. An understanding of the Earth's systems and spheres takes practice. More importantly, we can see the "Domino Effect" of the spheres as they interact with one another. We have learned that while endogenic processes are separate from exogenic process, the lithosphere affects the atmosphere which affects the hydrosphere, and the biosphere. Now, we can reverse the situation and consider how the biosphere, you and I, affect

Go to the following link. https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ Read over all of the links about the Climate Evidence, Causes, and Effects. Then, write a 15-20 sentences about what you learned.
