as your only form of reviewnot all information
is contained in the slide show!

Conservation helps us to protect our environment,
to use our natural resources wisely and to plan
for the future!
3
Acid Rain may cause air, land and water pollution
4
The release into the environment of substances
that change it for the worse
Pollution
5
Two emission control devices are
Scrubbers
Catalytic Converters
6
The air that makes up our environment is a
mixture of
Nitrogen, Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
7
4 ways to dispose of solid waste
Incineration
Recycling
Sanitary Landfills
Ocean Dumping
8
Strip Mining helps us to obtain
Coal
9
During Strip Mining topsoil is buried beneath
rock and acids seep into the ground.The land
and water both can become polluted!
10
Three fossils fuels are.
coal, oil and natural gas
11
Any material removed from the earth and used by
people
A Natural Resource
12
An energy source from the sun
Solar Energy
13
Garbage is compacted into a small space and
constantly covered by soil
Sanitary Landfill
14
A Hazardous Waste Disaster that took place in

Love Canal
15
Pollution is usually due to
Human Activities
16
A fuel rod from a nuclear power plant is an
example of ______________ Waste.
Radioactive Waste
17
90 of our energy resources come from
fossil fuels
18
These are resources that can not be replaced by
nature in a reasonable amount of time.
Non-renewable resources
19
These originated from the remains of dead plants
and animals..
fossil fuels
20
The remains of toxic or poisonous chemicals are
also called
Hazardous Waste
21
Four sources of solid waste are
Household Waste
Commercial Waste
Industrial Waste
Agricultural Waste
22
The wise and careful use of resources is called
conservation
23
Three sources of indoor air pollution are
some appliances
ciggarettes
air fresheners
24
This occurs when cool air containing pollutants
becomes trapped near the Earths surface under a
layer of warm air
Temperature Inversion
25
The three main type of pollution are
Land, Air and Water
26
Are gases or particles that are given off when
fossil fuels are burned
Emissions
27
The average person creates ___lbs. of garbage a
day?
4 lbs. !
28
Acid rain forms when
Sulfur and Nitrous Oxides combine with water
vapor in the air
29
_____________incinerators are being used to burn
garbage. The heat that is produced is used to
convert water into steam, which then is used to
make electricity.
Waste-to-Energy
COVANTA!
30
Fossil fuels and minerals are examples of
Non-Renewable Resources
31
A 12 minute shower will use ___________gallons of
water!
120
32
3 flushes of the toilet will have used
________gallons of water
21
33
EPA stands for

34
A substance with a ph of 9 is a ____________
Base
35
A substance with a ph of 2 would be considered a

36
A substance with a ph of 6 would be considered a
weaker acid
37
A substance with a ph of 7 would be considered a
neutral substance
38
In 1986, an explosion and fire occurred at a
Ukrainian nuclear power plant called
Chernobly
39
The greatest water pollution threat to human
health comes from
sewage
40
The method of illegally disposing of hazardous
waste is called
"midnight dumping"
41
What happens when fertilizers build up in a lake?
An Algae Explosion may occur and the oxygen
supply will be cut off...
42
What was the main industry in Donora, PA in the
1940s?
Steel Mill Industry
43
How can acid rain cause damage to lakes and
forest far from the source of air pollution?
Acid rain can be blown by the wind
44
Smog is the result of.
45
The most significant source of air pollution is
motor vehicles
46
Water needed to cool power plants is discharged
back into lakes/rivers and can kill animals and
plants, this is known as
Thermal Pollution
47
Trees, Air, Water and Soil are examples of
________
Re-Newabale Resources
48
In 1989 this tanker crashed off the coast of
Alaska causing the largest oil spill in US
history!
The Exxon Valdez
49
Two other tankers that had oil spill disasters..
