ISP 217 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Littoral Zone, Thermocline, Eutrophication
Document Summary
20 multiple choice questions: there is more nutrient, the curve stops going up and evens out, curve called "saturating cute" The answer why does the growth curve, curve over: the liquid in which a solute is dissolved to form a solution. The answer solvent: trout eggs must incubate within the stream gravel and fine sediment from erosion clogs the gravel. The answer erosion in a watershed creates problems for trout and salmon in streams primarily because: near shore where rooted plants can grow. The answer littoral zone: toxic and move up and down the water column. The answer two important characteristics of these organisms: thermocline. The answer salmon and trout tend to prefer which layer of water: transportation, irrigation, power generation, drinking water. The answer why do we modify flow of rivers in the bottom of the ocean. The answer where do clams live: nutrient enrichment (fertilizer, erosion), siltation of streams and rivers (erosion), toxic pollution (pesticides)
