Mid-Atlantic Ridge ____ divergent plate boundary b. Hawaiian Islands ____ hot spot c. Cascade Mountains 2. The Hydrologic Cycle a. Matching ____ aquifer ____ precipitation ____ estuaries ____ wetlands a. the water which falls to earth after condensing into either rain or snow b. an underground area of water that collects between spaces in rocks c. areas of land that are often covered with water d. the lower parts of rivers where they run into the sea b. Labeling – Which letters on the diagram above are represented by the sources/sinks or processes listed below? _____sublimation/desublimation _____ groundwater storage _____ evaporation _____ condensation 3. The Rock Cycle a. What process is involved in turning magma into igneous rock? b. List 3 mechanisms of erosion. 4. The Carbon Cycle – Choose 3 sources/sinks of your choice and at least 2 processes and either develop a diagram or write a story illustrating the path of a carbon atom. Indicate which are processes and which are sources/sinks. 5. The Nitrogen Cycle a. What organisms are involved in the movement of nitrogen between the air and soil, and back to the air? b. How do animals contribute to the nitrogen cycle? c. What would be the effect on the nitrogen cycle if a large volume of nitrogen-rich fertilizer ran off the land and into surface water? 6. The Phosphorus Cycle a. What component is missing from the phosphorus cycle that is present in the other cycles from this chapter? b. List 5 major natural reservoirs for phosphorus. c. How do phosphates cycle between the ocean water and the ocean food web?
