10
This large land area absorbs water and stores all water that does not run off into the ocean A 300
11
What is a watershed? A 300
12
This helps retain water in the soil and prevents it from becoming runoff A 400

18
This icky stuff combines with water vapor to form sulfuric acid rain B 200
19
What is sulfur dioxide? B 200
20
This icky stuff is good 15 miles above the Earth, but bad for air quality at the surface B 300
21
What is ozone? B 300
22
This icky stuff can be cleaned with stack scrubbers in factory smokestacks B 400
23
What are hydrocarbons? B 400
24
This icky stuff is produced as a gas by-product of naturally decaying organic material B 500
25
What is methane? B 500
26
C 100 This occurs when aquatic organisms experience a temperature change of more than 2-3 degrees F
27
What is thermal stress? C 100
28
This substance is thought to account for 50% of the increase in global temperatures by 2020 C 200
29

DAILY DOUBLE C 400 DAILY DOUBLE Place A Wager
33
These are the two opposing explanations for the current trend in global warming C 400
34
Humans are accelerating the rate of warming with greenhouse gas emissions versus Earth is experiencing a period of warming as part of a natural cycle C 400
35
This term is used to describe the trapping of heat from the sun beneath Earth’s atmosphere C 500
36
What is the greenhouse effect? C 500
37
This colorless, odorless gas can seep into homes built over contaminated areas D 100
38
What is radon? D 100
39
Water is abundant on Earth, but most is not potable because it is this type of water D 200
40
What is saltwater? D 200
41
These pollutants decrease air quality by causing a “hole” in the ozone layer D 300
42
What are CFCs? D 300
43
Water quality decreases for aquatic organisms when this nutrient is low D 400
44
What is oxygen? D 400
45
This process, performed mostly by bacteria and fungi, reduces oxygen availability in the water D 500
46
What is decay of organic matter? D 500
47
These rays cause skin damage and cancer due to overexposure to the sun E 100
48
What are ultraviolet rays? E 100
49
These organisms are used to determine the health of the environment E 200
50
What are indicator species? E 200
51
In England in the 1800s, smoke from factories caused a decline in light-colored moths and an increase in dark moths, a process referred to by Charles Darwin as this E 300
52
What is natural selection? E 300
53
This is the pH range for a basic substance E 400
54
What is greater than 7? E 400
55
Solid particles suspended in water contribute to this, which may block sunlight and decrease photosynthesis in aquatic producers E 500
56
What is turbidity? E 500
57
This is the term for an organism’s position in the food chain F 100
58

62
What are primary consumers? F 300
63
This is the trophic level of a hawk that eats a snake that eats a frog that eats fish that eat algae F 400
64
What is quaternary (4 th level) consumer? F 400
65
