Here is a list of the objectives that we covered in the Lithosphere, Hydrosphere, and Atmosphere unit. You are expected to be able to:
- Describes the structure of a soil
- Defines the buffering capacity of a soil and why it is advantageous
- Explains the natural process of eutrophication of a body of natural water
- Explains how human activities accelerate the eutrophication of a body of natural water
- Describes the greenhouse effect
- Explains some consequences of a higher concentration of greenhouse gases
- Describes the main factors responsible for atmospheric circulation
- Describes the effect of prevailing winds on the dispersal of air pollutants in a given region
- Names soil contaminants, water contaminants, and air contaminants
You can use this as a checklist while you are studying. Good luck!
