Select one of the following:

  • Molten

  • Water

Explanation

Question 2 of 15

1

What 3 GASES do volcanoes give out?

Select one of the following:

  • Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
    Nitrogen (N)
    Water (H2O)

  • Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

    Carbon Particulates (C)

Explanation

Question 3 of 15

1

What happened to the atmosphere when plant life formed?

Select one of the following:

  • There was less CO2 in it and more O2 because as the plants went through PHOTOSYNTHESIS they converted the Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen.

  • Nothing happened, the atmosphere stayed the same.

Explanation

Question 4 of 15

1

What happened to the dead plants?

Select one of the following:

  • They got buried underground and the Carbon they'd taken from the CO2 got put in SEDIMENTARY rocks as INSOLUBLE CARBONATES and FOSSIL FUELS

  • They rotted or got eaten by animals

Explanation

Question 5 of 15

Name the gases and their amounts in today's atmosphere?

Select one of the following:

  • Nitrogen (N)- 78%
    Oxygen (O)- 21%
    Argon (Ar)- 1%
    Carbon Dioxide (CO2)- 0.04%
    Trace other gases

  • Nitrogen(N)- 90%
    Oxygen (O)- 21%
    Carbon Dioxide (CO2)- 1 %
    Sulfur Gas (S)- 17%

Explanation

Question 6 of 15

1

Which Pollutants does Human Activity add to the Atmosphere?

Select one of the following:

  • Carbon Dioxide
    Carbon Monoxide
    Carbon Particulates
    Sulfur Dioxide
    Nitrogen Oxides

  • Nitrogen Oxides
    Sulfur Dioxide
    Argon
    Oxygen

Explanation

Question 7 of 15

1

What are the two main sources of Pollutants?

Select one of the following:

  • Burning Fuels (Power Stations and Vehicles)
    Nature (Volcanic Activity)

  • Cows Gas
    Energy you use biking to school

Explanation

Question 8 of 15

1

What/How does CARBON MONOXIDE, SULFUR DIOXIDE and CARBON DIOXIDE do/effect people and the planet?

Select one of the following:

  • Carbon Monoxide- Cuts off the Oxygen supply your blood cells carry. (DIRECT HARM)
    Sulfur Dioxide- Causes Acid rain which kills fish which people eat (INDIRECT HARM)
    Carbon Dioxide- part of Climate Change which is caused by Pollution and creates World Problems. (INDIRECT HARM)

  • Carbon Monoxide- Given out by Cows and it the cause of Global Warming (INDIRECT)
    Sulfur Dioxide- Stains buildings and burns skin when it falls as from the sky as rain and soot (INDIRECT)
    Carbon Dioxide- Kills people and the planet (DIRECT)

Explanation

Question 9 of 15

1

In chemical reactions, can atoms disappear?

Select one of the following:

  • Yes, because some are lost because the just get lost

  • No, because the end product always has the same amount of each atom in and no mass is lost which also proves no atoms are lost because if they were the mass would be less.

Explanation

Question 10 of 15

1

What is a Hydrocarbon? (eg. Crude Oil)

Select one of the following:

  • Fossil Fuels made of Hydrogen and Carbon atoms formed from the remains of dead plants and animals that have been left millions of years.

  • A Carbon Atom that has been pressurised with Hydrogen to form dead plant cells

Explanation

Question 11 of 15

1

What is OXIDATION and REDUCTION?

Select one of the following:

  • Oxidation- When Oxygen gets added to something
    Reduction- When Oxygen is taken away from something

  • Oxidation- Doesn't exist
    Reduction- Getting smaller

Explanation

Question 12 of 15

1

How can CO2 be removed from the atmosphere?

Select one of the following:

  • Plants- Through Photosynthesis
    Absorbed into Rivers, Lakes and other forms of water

  • High powered air suction
    Carbon extracting

Explanation

Question 13 of 15

1

Sulfur comes from IMPURITIES in fuel. When it burns with the Fuel, what does it combine with in the air and what does it make?

Select one of the following:

  • Oxygen and Sulfur Dioxide

  • Carbon Dioxide and Sulfur Carbonate

Explanation

Question 14 of 15

1

Nitrogen Pollution is formed from nitrogen in the air when Fuel is burnt. Name both Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and an example of when they form and are released?

Select one of the following:

  • Nitrogen Dioxide, Nitrogen Monoxide and Car Engines

  • Nitrogen, Nitrogen Monoxide and Coal Mining.

Explanation

Question 15 of 15

1

Although we produce a lot of pollution there are ways to reduce the amount we make. Name one place we can reduce pollution from, a way in which cars now lower there emission and two alternate energy sources?

Select one of the following:

  • Power Stations (Remove the sulfur from burning materials and reduce amount of Fossil Fuels used), Cars are not fitted with Catalytic Converters which converts Nitrogen Monoxide in harmless Nitrogen and Oxygen, and finally Wind Power (Turbines) and Solar Panels.

  • Out walking the dog (Use less materials in products) , They don't and Electric Powered cars
