Row 1, Col 1

The area that drains into a river System. This includes streams, Lakes, aquifers, and tributaries.

What is a watershed?

1,2

Sexual reproduction because of theMultiple combination possibilities of

Genetic material passed down from each Parent.

Which form of reproduction produces greater variety of offspring?

1,3

What do the arrows represent in a food pyramid?

The flow of energy?

1,4

The growth of plant roots and animal activity may result in

Mechanical Weathering

2,1

Pollution to surface water, Pollution to groundwater,Damming, paving roads,

Building parking lots, etc.

What human actions can impact a watershed?

2,2

This requires only one parent. This Parent will divide and produce

Identical offspring with the exactSame genetic material as the parent.

What is asexual reproduction?

2,3

There are three levels and three types of this. They can be primary (herbivores), secondary

(carnivores), tertiary (top carnivores or omnivores)And they are also known as heterotrophs.

What is a consumer?

2,4

Removing trees from a piece of land is most likely going to result in

a higher rate of erosion

3,1

These can impact watersheds. TheyInclude tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes,Tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, droughts,

Etc.

What are natural disasters?

3,2

Brown eyes are dominant traits in humans. A blue-eyed child must

have inherited the recessive gene from?

Each of his parents

3,3

Name 2 kinds of events that can occur to slow or restart ecological succession.

Fire, flood, farming and ice ages

3,4

The most important factors in determining the rate of weathering are:

Rock type and climate

4,1

A farm in Kansas gets fertilizer spread on cropsOften. About 30 miles away a city noticed that

The water they were pumping out of their wells was Now contaminated. How did this happen?

The fertilizer penetrated the groundwater and flowed to the city’s groundwater since they are a

part of the same watershed.

4,2

One parent has brown hair which is controlledBy a dominant gene (B). Another parent also has

Brown hair. The parents have four kids. Three of the kids have brown hair and one kid has

Blonde hair. How did this happen?

Both parents carry the recessive gene for blond hair (Bb). When they reproduce they have a 1 in 4 chance of

passing on the (b) gene for blonde hair.

4,3

Put the following words in a logical order.Provide an explanation as to why you decided

On this order:Decomposer,

producer, consumer

Producer-Consumer-Decomposer because producers make their own food, consumers eat producers, and

decomposers break down everything back into nutrients into the soil.

4,4

Name one event that would be Affected by a major volcanic

eruption.

Amount of sunlight, climate and levels of acid rain

5,1

What happens when groundWater is pumped out fasterThan it can be recharged?

Land Subsidence

5,2

How will skin cells dividing to produce more skin cells look like?

Identical to it parent cell?

5,3

What will most likely start to happen after A forest fire?

Secondary Succession

5,4

A huge mound of dirt was foundAt the base of a mountain. What

Order of earth processes producedThis new formation?

Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition.
