What type of soil particle is medium-sized? clay, sand or silt

silt

Name this source of oil pollution.

oil rig / offshore extraction

Name the energy source.

hydroelectric / dam

Name the energy source.

solar

Describe the formation of oil.

millions of years ago; plankton died; bottom of the sea; buried under sediment; heat and pressure; changed into oil

Name four components of soil.

minerals / inorganic particles; organic matter; water; air

Name the rock.

basalt

Name the ocean.

the Atlantic Ocean

Which type of soil holds the most water? clay, sand or silt

clay

Name three potential resources from the oceans.

food; building materials; chemicals; salt; sand; gravel; electricity; power; tourism; transportation; water supply

Name the rock.

limestone

Which of these is NOT a component of soil? air / water / wind / organic matter

WIND

Name four environmental impacts of mining.

visual pollution; loss of habitat; air pollution; noise pollution; water pollution; traffic; land pollution

Which of these is NOT a renewable energy source? geothermal power / natural gas / wind power / biogas

natural gas

Which of these is NOT a potential resource from the oceans? building / materials / grass-fed cattle / drinking / water

grass-fed cattle

What is the vector for malaria?

the female (Anopheles) mosquito

Name one impact of heavy metals in water.

embryo development; miscarriage; brain development; deformities

Why is prawn fishing associated with large numbers of bycatch?

small mesh in nets catches a large number of other species

Name one advantage of aquaculture.

allows wild fish stocks to replenish

Name one impact of chemical detergents in water.

poisonous; toxic; destroys mucus layer on fish; damage to gills

Which of these is NOT an environmental impact of mining? visual pollution / loss of habitat / air pollution / increased job opportunities

increased job opportunities

Name the part of the Earth shown by the arrow.

the crust

Female Anopheles mosquitos are the _ _ _ _ _ _ for malaria.

vector

Name two examples of sedimentary rock.

sandstone; limestone; shale

Name two methods for preventing oil spills.

international treaties; monitoring equipment; GPS tracking; double-hulled oil tankers; ban on carrying oil in front of ship

What is the smallest type of soil particle? sand clay or silt

clay

Describe how an El Nino event can decrease the number of fish on the Pacific Coast of South America.

trade winds weaken; warm surface water moves to east Pacific Ocean; upwelling weakens; less nutrients from deep sea; to be used in photosynthesis

Name one impact of untreated sewage in water.

diarrhoea; bacterial infection; dysentery; cholera

Name five strategies for preventing overfishing.

aquaculture; net size, mesh size and shape; pole and line fishing; quotas; closed seasons; MPAs; conservation laws; international agreements

Name the part of the Earth shown by the arrow.

the mantle

Under _ _ _ _ and _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _, sedimentary rocks can change into metamorphic rocks.

heat and pressure

Why is upwelling important for fish populations?

cycles nutrients; speeds up photosynthesis; provides energy for food chain

Name the part of the Earth shown by the arrow.

the core

Name three environmental impacts of oil spills.

toxic to organisms; hypothermia; inability to fly; eye irritation; drowning; suffocation; reduced photosynthesis; coral bleaching; bioaccumulation of toxins

Name two examples of igneous rock.

basalt; granite; obsidian

Describe the process of upwelling.

wind blows away from shore; pushes water away from shore; replaced by nutrient-rich water from deep sea

Which of these is NOT a fossil fuel? biogas / coal / oil / natural gas

biogas

Name two disadvantages of aquaculture

habitat loss; water pollution; disease transfer; loss of biodiversity; need to catch wild fish to provide food

Name the ocean.

the Indian Ocean

Describe how offshore oil extraction can lead to oil spills.

Name the type of rock.

sedimentary

Name three factors that influence where major fish populations can be found.

shallow water; continental shelf; where sunlight can penetrate; coatal waters; coral reefs; oceanic island; areas of major upwelling

Does the image depict a normal year or an El Nino year? How can you tell?

El Nino - warm water has built up in the east of the Pacific Ocean

Define overfishing.

Catching a large number of fish at a faster rate than they can reproduce.

Name the rock.

marble

the Pacific Ocean

Describe how pipelines can lead to oil spills.

poorly maintained equipment; corrosion; construction errors; collision; sabotage
