Recycling
Sanitary Landfills
Ocean Dumping

9During Strip Mining topsoil is buried beneath
rock and acids seep into the ground.The land
and water both can become polluted!
10Three fossils fuels are.

nature in a reasonable amount of time.
Non-renewable resources
19These originated from the remains of dead plants
and animals..
fossil fuels
20The remains of toxic or poisonous chemicals are
also called
Hazardous Waste
21Four sources of solid waste are
Household Waste
Commercial Waste
Industrial Waste
Agricultural Waste
22The wise and careful use of resources is called
conservation
23Three sources of indoor air pollution are
some appliances
ciggarettes
air fresheners
24This occurs when cool air containing pollutants
becomes trapped near the Earths surface under a
layer of warm air
Temperature Inversion
25The three main type of pollution are
Land, Air and Water
26Are gases or particles that are given off when
fossil fuels are burned
Emissions
27The average person creates ___lbs. of garbage a
day?
4 lbs. !
28Acid 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!
30Fossil fuels and minerals are examples of
Non-Renewable Resources

health comes from
sewage
40The method of illegally disposing of hazardous
waste is called
"midnight dumping"
41What happens when fertilizers build up in a lake?

supply will be cut off...
42What was the main industry in Donora, PA in the
1940s?

43How can acid rain cause damage to lakes and
forest far from the source of air pollution?
Acid rain can be blown by the wind
44Smog is the result of.
45The most significant source of air pollution is
motor vehicles
46Water needed to cool power plants is discharged
back into lakes/rivers and can kill animals and
plants, this is known as
Thermal Pollution
47Trees, Air, Water and Soil are examples of
________
Re-Newabale Resources
48In 1989 this tanker crashed off the coast of
Alaska causing the largest oil spill in US
history!
The Exxon Valdez
49Two other tankers that had oil spill disasters..
Torrey Canyon and the Amoco Cadiz
