Flashcards: Use science ideas to protect Earth's environment

From the Environmental Protection Agency, "Land cover represents the actual or physical presence of vegetation (or other materials where vegetation is nonexistent) on the land surface. Land cover is also often described as what can be seen on land viewed from above. It is one means to describe landscape patterns and characteristics that are critical in understanding aspects of the environment."

Based on the EPA's graph below which type of land cover needs the most protection?

Your answer:

Barren

Your answer:

Shrubland

Your answer:

Grassland

Correct answer:

Forest

Explanation:

The land cover that appears to need the most protection is the forests. There was a significant reduction in the amount of area covered by forests. There was an increase in developed land, so there may be a connection, but further research would be needed to verify or support this inference. Humans are responsible for the protection of our land and Earth, so to stop this downward trend, we must step in.

Flashcards: Use science ideas to protect Earth's environment

Lakeland, Ohio has seen an increase in hazardous waste materials building up in the water. The city thinks it is because of people using harmful pesticides, herbicides, and chemicals in their yards. The city council wants to make posters to hang around town and distribute with tips for residents to decrease the hazardous waste flowing into the sewer system. Which suggestion should the city council NOT include?

Collect rainwater; it can later be used to water your plants and lawn.

Don't apply fertilizer before windy or rainy days.

Apply fertilizers when desired, and at the amount, you see fit.

Avoid applying fertilizer close to waterways.

Flashcards: Use science ideas to protect Earth's environment

Your answer:

Collect rainwater; it can later be used to water your plants and lawn.

Your answer:

Don't apply fertilizer before windy or rainy days.

Your answer:

Avoid applying fertilizer close to waterways.

Correct answer:

Apply fertilizers when desired, and at the amount, you see fit.

Explanation:

Hazardous waste entering the water system can be dangerous! The dangerous materials that seep into the groundwater, enter the sewer systems, and run-off into local lakes and rivers can be harmful to humans, animals, and plants. Three of the tips suggested would be beneficial for the town council to post on the handouts, and one would increase the problem the city is facing. "Apply fertilizers when desired, and at the amount, you see fit." is a piece of advice that could cause residents to use too much fertilizer too often. If they wanted to change this to a tip that would benefit their cause, it should read, "Apply fertilizers only when necessary and at the recommended amount."
