Test Description: This game is meant for NCFE review for Earth/Environmental Science.
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) How can water be an agent for physcial weathering?
A
by absorbing sulfur oxides and creating acid precipitation
B
by absorbing gases from the atmosphere and ground to chemically react with minerals
C
by seeping into the soil and dissolving the minerals in rocks
D
by seeping into the cracks of rocks and freezing
2) Which is most likely a prevention strategy for flooding?
A
building artificial levees
B
reducing water consumption
C
recycling bottled-water containers
D
building waste landfills for metals and other contaminants
3) How could the removal of trees and other vegetation impact an environment?
A
by increasing transpiration
B
by increasing soil formation
C
by increasing oxygen production
D
by increasing erosion
4) Large quantities of sand can be added to the beach to stabilize the shoreline. Which describes a disadvantage of this process?
A
It is a short-term solution.
B
It causes inland erosion.
C
It creates a barrier that prevents the tides from occurring along the coastline.
D
It creates a wall that disrupts the vegetation along the coastline.
5) Which is an advantage of safely using uranium as an energy source rather than using coal?
A
Uranium can be easily mined from deep within the Earth, while coal is a hard resource to mine from deep within the Earth.
B
Uranium produces energy without polluting the atmosphere, while burning coal can increase the CO2 in the atmosphere.
C
Uranium is the most cost-efficient energy resource, while coal is the most expensive energy resource.
D
Uranium reduces the amount of thermal pollution, while burning coal can increase the amount of thermal pollution.
6) Which results from the unequal heating of the ocean water of Earth?
A
changes in tidal patterns
B
a constant sea level
C
changes in ocean current patterns
D
unchanging climate for all regions on Earth
7) Why are ocean currents important to coastal regions?
A
They increase the rate of precipitation as cold water moves along coastal regions.
B
They produce high and low tides along coastal regions.
C
They move vertically pushing warm water and nutrients to the surface along coastal regions.
D
They can warm or cool the air temperatures along coastal regions.
8) Which is formed when a section of impremeable rock forces groundwater to move laterally and emerge onto the surface of Earth?
A
a spring
B
a well
C
an aquifer
D
a geyser
9) How could a long-term decrease in precipitation impact an area?
A
It could decrease the amount of possible infiltration in the area.
B
It could increase the average water level of lakes in the area.
C
It could increase the amount of flooding in the area.
D
It could decrease the possible amount of damage to crops in the area.
10) Which consequence could an exponentially growing human population have on drinkable water?
A
It could cause an increase in cases of waterborne diseases.
B
It could cause a decrease in the amount of waste and pollutants in the water supply.
C
It could cause an increase in the amount of water available for the population.
D
It could cause a decrease in needing water for survival.
