Question 1
What is ecology
The study of life
The study of trees
The study of all the interrelationship between organisms and their environment
The study of the non-living factors in an environment
Question 2
what is a habitat
The physical location where animals live
Another name for a community
An animals behavior
A bad behavior of organisms
Question 3
Changes in the chemical composition of the atmosphere that may produce acid rain are most closely associated with
Insect that excrete acids
runoff from acids soils
industrial smoke stack emissions
Question 4
Acid rain is serious problem in some coutries
Question 5
Which situation is a result of human activities
decay of leaves in forest adds to soil fertility
acid rain in an area kills fish in a lake
ecological succession following volcanic activity reestablishes an ecosystem
natural selection on an island changes gene frequencies
Question 6
What is deforestation
the loss of fish habitat
the loss of forest habitat
the loss of ground habitat
the loss f all habitat
Question 7
What is global warming potential
The effectiveness of an air conditioning system. The higher the global warming potential,the better the system at heating a room but the worse at cooling a room
A measure of the amount of heat trapped in the atmosphere by a certain mass of gas compared to the amount of heat by a similar mass of carbon dioxide
The net contribution of Antarctic wildlife to synthetic greenhouse gas emissions
The global temperature rise scientists predict would occur without the phase-down of synthetic greenhouse gasses
Question 8
Greenhouse gases, in moderate amounts, keep the Earth's temperature stable
Question 9
The ozone layer is damaged by
CFCs
increased in greenhouse gases
increased global temperatures
Question 10
-------------are pollutants released into the air
Emissions
Ozone molecules
Hazardous wastes
acid rains
Question 11
Sound that affects the quality and or health of human life
light pollution
Air pollution
Noise pollution
Acid shock
Question 12
When harmful substances build up in the air to unhealthy levels,it is called
Smog
Primary pollutant
Secondary pollutant
Air pollution
Question 13
Is carbon dioxide an air pollutant
Question 14
The single most important step we can take to slow global warming to decrease.
carbon dioxide
nitrous oxide
ozone
sulfur dioxide
Question 15
Trash in the environment is a problem because
birds can eat it and die
animals can get their heads stuck in containers
it can kill ocean plants and animals
all of the above
Question 16
Most water pollution is the result of
Human activities
Drought
volcanic eruptions
storm
Question 17
This type of pollution contaminates lakes, oceans,river, etc.
Air
Land
water
Question 18
Why is the world's loss of biodiversity a course of concern?
Humans depend on other organisms for food and oxygen
Species extinctions have been rare throughout history
Loss of biodiversity is not a concern because extinctions are common
Question 19
problem caused by increased levels of CFCs in the atmosphere
global warming
thermal pollution
greenhouse gas
ozone depletion
Question 20
Pollution can cause harm to the -----------.
air
land
water
all of the above
