EAS 1600 Practice Questions Exam 2
1. The ocean is heated from , similar to the .
A: above, stratosphere B: below,
troposphere C: above,
troposphere
D: below, stratosphere: A: above, stratosphere
2. Two grams of atmospheric water vapor condense. How many joules of heat are released?
+4,600 J
+46,000 J
+23,000 J
+10,000 J
+2,300 J: +4600J
because it is 2300 x 2 and this is releasing energy bc its condensation
3. When a water molecule undergoes condensation, the water molecule will [ Select ] ["gain", "release"] energy
to/from the atmosphere and the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere will [ Select ] ["increase",
"decrease", "remain the same"] .: The water molecule will will release energy and the temperature of surrounding
atmosphere will increase
4. Two grams of atmospheric water vapor condense. [ Select ] ["2300", "334", "4600", "68", "2"] joules of heat
are [ Select ] ["released to", "taken from"] to the atmosphere?: 4600 joules will be released into the atmosphere
5. As water moves from a solid to a liquid state, energy is .

6. Groundwater makes up roughly 30% of all water on Earth.
True
False: false
7. Fill in: Groundwater is only % of Atlanta's drinking water supply.: 1%
8. An aquifer is a rock or section of rocks that can hold or transmit
water.
permeable
non-permeable: permeable
9. What are superfund sites?: Superfund sites are polluted locations in the United States that require long-term
cleanup efforts due to contamination with hazardous materials. These sites often include landfills, mines, manufacturing
facilities, and processing plants where toxic waste has been improperly managed or dumped
Government funded and makes company pay
10.The contamination in Parkersburg, West Virginia is the result of
pollution.: C8(PFAS) contamination, result of legal and illegal dis- charge from factory
11.The contamination in the worlds oceans is the result of
pollution.: plastic contamination, littering waterways/oceans
12.The contamination in Flint, Michigan is the result of
pollution.: lead contamination, out of date water treatment plant
13.Why did lead levels recently increase in Flint, Michigan's drinking water?-
: Flint began using water with more chloride in it.
14.True or False: There is a significant change in pressure as you travel in a submarine down into the Tonga
Trench in the Southern Hemisphere.: True
15.Match the correct transitionary zone in the upper ocean with respect to temperature, salinity, and
density in a water column
