Which of the following events would be most likely to contribute to increased phosphorus flow into Lake Erie? a heavy spring rainstorm that increased river flow volumes

Describe how many of your everyday activities, including your demands for food and other materials, add pollution to the water cycle or alter it in other ways. How can you be a better steward with your water consumption?"

The best formal definition of a lake is a large natural body of standing freshwater a nutrient-rich, shallow body of standing freshwater a shallow, rapidly flowing body of water a shallow pool of water that dries out and then refills when it rains a large natural wetland with plants and saltwater

Starting with a drop of water in the ocean, describe a full cycle of movement of the water drop through the hydrologic cycle (the water must end up back in the ocean). Through what reservoirs does that water move? What physical forms does the water take (e.g., liquid, solid, gas

If we could prevent wastes from flowing from the Chesapeake Bay into the Atlantic Ocean, it would help preserve the health of the bay

Dumping raw sewage into a river will lead to a reduction in dissolved oxygen in the water. What will this reduction most likely cause? A) a decrease in water temperature B) an increase in most aquatic animal populations C) an increase in acid rain D) a decrease in fish populations

Sewage disposal and ________________ are the two main forms of water pollution in the world's coastal areas, according to a comprehensive UN report.

List two factors that will influence the movement of groundwater through sediments?

Temperate Semiarid Arid % mm % mm % mm Total precipitation 100 500-1,500 100 200-500 100 0-200 Surface evaporation 33 160-500 50 100-250 70 0-140 Groundwater recharge 34 160-500 20 40-100 0-2 Surface runoff 33 160-500 30 60-150 29 0-60 Data courtesy of Prof. François Zwahlen, Hydrogeology Center, University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The amounts of evaporation, groundwater recharge, and surface runoff differ among the different climate regions. Referring to the percentages given in the table, use the following dropdown menus to rank the variability of each component, from lowest to highest. Surface runoff < Groundwater recharge ▼ < Surface runoff Given these data, you can conclude that freshwater from precipitation is distributed unevenly v in the world. Which climate region will likely suffer the least with increasing freshwater shortages? O Arid regions O Semiarid regions O Temperate regions

Which of the following would be considered a bad predictor of environmental conditions that a) dry and wet seasons b) average yearly rainfall c) flooding d) seasonal changes in day length
