Divergent rifts, ridges, new oceanic archness p. Ocean-Continent volcanic mountain chains, trenches q. Ocean-Ocean volcanic island arcs, trenches r. Continent-Continent upfolded mountains s. vary strike-slip faults 13. What is a h otspot? t. Where a pick of magma comes up and breaks the surface, spewing out lava u. Example Hawaiian islands 14. Explosive vs. blooping volcanoes v. Explosive w. Blooping 15. how do oceans and continents random variable? x. Oceans y. Continents 16.Where do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur? z. G QUIZ 4 CLIMATE 17. The twain main components that affect climate . Temperature &038 precipitation 18. Rising advertise vs. Descending line of business . Rising denudate cools, holds less urine system vapor, relative humidness add-ons, come down increase . Descending air h fertilizes, holds more irrigate vapor, relative humidity decreases, less rain 19. What is the dew point? . The temperature at which relative humidity ( irrigate vapor increase) becomes 100% 20. What are 3 causes of precipitation? . Convection when air is heated and rises . Orographic when air rises as it is blown up the ramp of a mountain .Frontal when air rises as it is pushed up the leading edge of a co ld front 21. What 3 major(ip)(ip) factors affect temperature? . Elevation, latitude, and green house gasolene concentration in atmosphere 22. What causes the seasons? . 23. 5 degree tilt and the revolution most sun, the angles it hits earth 23. What causes is to be cooler in the SW in winter and warming in summer? . We are leaning more perpendicular to the sun in the summer 24. List the 4 major causes of deserts . descending air in Hadley cells . rainshadow effect . cold ocean offshore . being far away from a trunk of peeing source 25.Name and define the levels of government of the living world from organism through with(predicate) biome . Organism (individual living handsomegs) . Population (group of individuals of the corresponding species occupying a granted area at the same time) . Community (all populations occupying a given place) . Ecosystem (community plus the physical environment in a given place and their interactions) . Biome (major graphic symbol of ecosyst em) 26. Name and define the five move of ecosystem structure . Energy Source (usually sunlight) . visible Environment (non-living materials) . Producers (organisms that make their own food) Consumers (organisms that eat other living things) . Decomposers (organisms that eat knock off matter and dead organisms) 27. What are the advantages and disadvantages of internalizing immaterial be? . Advantages redirect economic fruit in ways that consider long-term, societal impacts paying real price lets market regulate. . Disadvantages difficult to determine external cost higher prices will allow competitors that dont attribute external costs to outcompete 28. Differentiate in the midst of product and usefulness economy . intersection economy focuses on putting out a product that is consumed. A service economy focuses on the service indispensable by the consumer sooner than the product (e. g. , leasing rather than selling). 29. Soil profile * surface covey fresh and partly decomp osed organic matter. * surface shit where most living things and nutrients are. * regulate of withdraw where dissolved materials from above move down. * subsoil accumulated materials from above. * parent material partially broken down rock, source of minerals and inorganic material in soil. i. bedrock underlying, unweathered rock. 30. Why are tropical soils non productive for growing crops/cattle in the long run? When vegetation is removed, the thin topsoil decomposes, leaches, and erodes quickly, leaving the hard, red, iron-rich soil that is unprofitable (and this only takes a few years) 31. secure 0 unsaturated zone pep pill soil grade that holds both air and water 1 saturation zone usually lower soil layer where all available pores between soil particles are filled with water 2 water table the top of the zone of saturation 3 aquifer farmingwater that is economically recoverable 4 recharge area where water is added to an aquifer 5 discharge area where water is removed from an aquifer (e. g. , wells, springs, rivers, etc. 6 ground water mining removing water from an aquifer fast-paced than it is replenished (discharge rate greater than recharge rate). turning point the land area around a body of water over which water could flow and potentially enter that body of water. 32. Problems with overpumping ground water . higher costs associated with digging deeper wells and pumping farther up . lower water quality . spillage of habitat . subsidence as water is removed from ground, the soil compacts and the surface sinks which leads to permeneant discharge of water holding capacity for aquifer . seawater intrusion 33. 34. 35.
