Why would a community located on or near a stream want to know where its stream water goes after passing the community?

What is the EPA’s role in environmental regulation?

ozzi

Explanation

EPA stands for Environmental Protection Agency was founded in the year 1970 in the month of December.

EPA’s role in environmental regulation are:

EPA's role to protect, analyzing, Monitoring the environment.
Implementation of the environmental law.
Environmental guidance and plan.

EPA goal is to improve the environment condition and contribute to making our ecosystems sustainable.

The EPA controls the distribution, production, processing, and handling of chemicals and pollutants.

Assuring the Safety of Chemicals so that it does not cause any harm to the environment.

__________________________________________________

Question 1

A chicken farmer stores all of the chicken manure from his farm in large piles next to the river. Throughout the spring and summer, the piles of manure are exposed to rain and wind. The farmer finally removes the manure in the fall. What two types of pollution are demonstrated in this real world example?

Nutrient

Bacterial

Question 2

Instead of riding his bike, a college student drives to class every day. He also drives to the store, to friends' houses, and everywhere else. Every time he fills up his tank, a little bit of gasoline drips to the ground. The car's exhaust contains nitrogen oxides, which contribute to nitrogen levels in nearby water bodies. What two types of pollution are demonstrated in this real world example?

Toxic

Nutrient

Question 3

By rotating their crops, farmers can reduce their dependence on fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. Despite the benefits of crop rotation, many farmers only grow one or two crops year after year. This increases their use of fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. What two types of pollution are demonstrated in this real world example?

Toxic

Nutrient

Question 4

A new mall and movie theater are being built on the outskirts of Suburbia. Trees and brush are cleared away, the land is bulldozed, and a silt fence is installed across part of the development. However, construction is delayed for a year, leaving the land exposed to the elements. What type of pollution is demonstrated in this real world example?

Sediment

Question 5

A new wastewater treatment plant opens in an area where raw sewage used to be dumped directly into a bay. What type of pollution will be reduced the most by the new plant?

Question 6

After buying a new house by the lake, the Harrison's decided to cut down the trees and bushes that were blocking their view. This left an open area with no vegetation between the house and the lake. What type of pollution is demonstrated in this real world example?

Sediment

Question 7

Rather than pay for an oil change at the service station, Justin decides to do the job himself. He drains the used oil and antifreeze directly into the ground in the alley beside his house. After several years, he notices there are no more frogs in the pond behind his house. What type of pollution is demonstrated in this real world example?

Toxic

Question 8

After a home renovation, Marta and Xander had leftover paint and solvent. Instead of following the disposal instructions on the containers, they decided the easiest way to dispose of these materials was to place them in the garbage for their regular trash pickup. What type of pollution is demonstrated in this real world example?

Toxic

Question 9

In a large new housing complex, many families do not practice water conservation. They take long showers, over-water their lawns, and wash their cars frequently. The local water treatment facility is old and was not designed to handle the increased amount of water, causing untreated sewage to be released into the environment. What two types of pollution are demonstrated in this real world example?

Nutrient

Bacterial

Question 10

Many school cafeterias serve food on paper products (paper plates, paper cups, cardboard trays, etc.) rather than using reusable plates, glasses, and trays. In many cases, these paper products are not made from recycled paper. What type of pollution is demonstrated in this real world example?

Sediment

Question 11

A new development is being built on the outskirts of a city, near a stream. A parking lot is constructed on one side of the stream, and land is cleared for a playground on the other side. Cars in the parking lot sometimes leak oil and antifreeze onto the pavement. What two types of pollution are demonstrated in this real world example?

Toxic

Sediment

Question 12

Many homeowners think that large amounts of fertilizer are needed to grow a nice, green lawn. Some think that, the more fertilizer they add, the greener their lawn will be. What type of pollution is demonstrated in this real world example?

Nutrient

Question 13

A rural homeowner moves into an old house with an old septic tank. (Septic tanks are used to treat household sewage.) After a few weeks, she notices smelly water pooling in her yard near the septic tank. She decides to wait to see if the problem will go away. What two types of pollution are demonstrated in this real world example?

Which direction is measured with a windvane?

oee [108]

Anemometers measure wind speed and wind vanes measure wind direction. A typical wind vane has a pointer in front and fins in the back. When the wind is blowing, the wind vane points into the wind. For example, in a north wind, the wind vane points northward.

Give an example of each of the following; graphic map scale, fractional map scale and verbal map scale.

Lynna [10]

Explanation:

Naturally it is impossible for real world features to be drawn on the map as large as their true size. Therefore in order to represent the real world, maps are made to a specific scale. Map scale is defined as the ratio of the distance between two points on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. Maps come in a variety of scales. Large scale maps cover a small area with great detail and accuracy, while small scale maps cover a large area in less detail.

As shown in this image, map scales can be expressed as a verbal statement, as a fraction or ratio and finally as a graphic or bar scale. Such scale expressions can be used to find the ground distance between any features from conversion of the corresponding map distance measurement.

Verbal Scale:

"1 centimetre on the map represents 500m on the ground" is a verbal scale. Clearly here a distance of 1cm on the map corresponds to 500m on the earth's surface. So if you plan a route with a total distance of 22cm on the map, that would imply that you'll be traveling (22cm x 500m) / 1cm = 11000m or 11km on the ground.

Representative Fraction (RF) - Fractional Scale - Ratio Scale:

1:50000 represents the map scale as a mathematical ratio or fraction, thus the name ratio scale or fractional scale. 1:50000 can be shown as 1/50000 as well. Here such a scale means that one unit of measurment on the map is equal to 50000 of the same unit on the ground. Such a unit can be anything such as centimetre, meter, feet, inches, your finger length, half a lenght of a pencil, etc. Also we can say that any distance on the map is 1/50000 of its true value on the ground. Therefore 1cm on the map is equal to 50000cm on the ground, that is 1cm on the map is equal to (50000cm x 1m) /100cm = 500m or 0.5km on the ground. Again a 22cm route on the map can be calculated to be equal 22 x 50000cm = 1100000cm on the ground or (1100000cm x 1m) / 100cm = 11000m.

Bar Scale - Graphic Scale - Linear Scale:

Bar scale also known as scale bar, linear scale or graphical scale visually shows the relationship between distances on the map and the real world. Usually more than one bar scale is shown on the side of the map, each using a different unit of measurement. To measure distance on Google Maps you can use the bar scale found on the corner of the map. The scale length and numbers get adjusted as the map is zoomed in or out. To see an example of measuring distances using bar scale, check the slope calculation from contour lines section.

Knowing the the fractional scale of a map, an engineer's or architect's scale ruler can be used to find the ground distances directly without the above mathematical calculations. The rulers can be found in both metric and English units of measurment. Many compasses have a similar scale ruler on their base plate. Finding distances of meandering features such as trails or rivers can be challenging and time consuming using a straight-edged object such as a ruler; in such cases you can use a string and place it on the map along the length of the feature, then place the string beside the bar scale for a direct measurement (or measure the lenght of it with a ruler).
