Brittany Snyder Martha Smith Sarah Segovia 1. The Federal Land Policy and Management Act were roots of the Sagebrush Rebellion. These laws stated that public land must be kept in perpetual trust by the federal government. The significance of this was that these acts destroyed any last hope that the Westerners had of public lands being turned over to local governments. Another example of disapproval in the Sagebrush Rebellion was in Idaho, where a business assembly fought the expansion of the Snake River Birds of Prey national Conservation Area.

Kinetic Molecular Theory All matter is composed of small particles. Particles of matter are in constant motion. Particle collisions are elastic. (No transfer of energy/loss of energy in a collision) Gases only: Volume of each gas particle is negligible compared to the volume of the sample. Particles of gases exert no forces of attractions on each other. (This is due to the great distance between molecules.) Ideas of KMT explain ideal gas behavior. Deviations of ideal gas behavior occur among real gases because real gases do have volume and IMF?s. Deviations are minimized under conditions of low pressure and high temperature (PLIGHT) Hydrogen and helium behave most like ideal gases due to their small size and very weak IMFs.

We are placing unprecedented pressure on marine resources Half the world?s marine fish populations are fully exploited 25% of fish population are overexploited and heading to extinction Total fisheries catch leveled off after 1998, despite increased fishing effort populations of all ocean species we fish for today will collapse by the year 2048 People began depleting sea life centuries ago Some species hunted to extinction: Steller?s sea cow, Atlantic gray whale, Caribbean monk seal Overharvesting of Chesapeake Bay oyster beds led to the collapse of its fishery, eutrophication, and hypoxia Decreased sea turtle populations causes overgrowth of sea grass and can cause sea grass wasting disease People never imagined that groundfish could be depleted

Energy Calculation Problems Problem #1: A cubic block of uranium metal (specific heat = 0.117 J g?1 ?C?1) at 200.0 ?C is dropped into 1.00 L of deuterium oxide of "heavy water" (specific heat = 4.211 J g?1 ?C?1) at 25.5 ?C. The final temperature of the uranium and the deuterium oxide mixture is 28.5 ?C. Given the densities of uranium (19.05 g/cm3) and deuterium oxide (1.11 g/mL) what is the length of the side of the uranium cube? Problem #2: 175.0 g pure H2O was placed in a constant-pressure calorimeter and chilled to 10.0 ?C. 9.80 g pure H2SO4 (also at 10.0 ?C) was added, stirred and the temperature rose to 19.8 ?C. (a) What mass increased in temperature? (b) What was ?t? (c) What was the chemical reaction? (d) What do we assume about the specific heat?

APES Chapter 6 ID: The Human Population and Its Impact Use chapter 6 of your textbook to answer the following questions. What are 3 factors that account for the rapid growth of the world?s human population over the past 200 years. What is the projected human population for the year 2050? 1- humans developed the ability to expand into diverse new habitats and different climate zones 2-emergence of early and modern agriculture allowed more people to be fed for each unit of land area farmed 3-the development of sanitation system, antibiotics, and vaccines helped control infectious disease agents. The projected human population by 2050 is 9.3 billion

APES ID: Chapter 12 ? Food, Soil, and Pest Management Distinguish between chronic under-nutrition (hunger) and chronic malnutrition. People who cannot grow or buy enough food to support their basic energy needs suffer from chronic under-nutrition or hunger. Chronic malnutrition is caused by protein and key nutrient deficiency. What 3 systems provide most of the world?s food? Distinguish among the following types of agriculture: croplands, rangelands, and oceanic fisheries industrialized agriculture- high input agriculture, using heavy equipment and large amounts of financial capital, fossil fuel, water and commercial fertilizers and pesticides to produce single crops or monocultures.
