Here is another part of my test that my teacher told me to check. Could you please help me check them?
Write the letter of the term or phrase that best matches the description.
Mississippi River- I picked b.recharge zone.
area above an aquifer- Ipicked c.Nonpoint-source pollution.
bottled water-I picked d. potable
multiple sources- I picked f. artificial eutrophication
fertilizer runoff- I picked h. groundwater
surface water that percolates through soil - I picked a.pathogen
Are all my answers correct?
To check if your answers are correct, we need to match the terms or phrases with their descriptions. Let's go through each one:
1. Mississippi River - You chose "b. recharge zone."
- However, a recharge zone refers to an area where water enters an aquifer. It is not directly related to the Mississippi River. The correct answer for the Mississippi River would be "e. surface water."
2. Area above an aquifer - You chose "c. Nonpoint-source pollution."
- Nonpoint-source pollution refers to pollution that comes from diffuse sources, such as runoff from land. It is not specific to the area above an aquifer. The correct answer for the area above an aquifer would be "g. unsaturated zone."
3. Bottled water - You chose "d. potable."
- "Potable" means water that is suitable for drinking. Since bottled water is intended for drinking, your answer is correct.
4. Multiple sources - You chose "f. artificial eutrophication."
- Artificial eutrophication refers to the process of excessive nutrient enrichment in a body of water. It does not relate to multiple sources. The correct answer for multiple sources would be "i. confluent stream."
5. Fertilizer runoff - You chose "h. groundwater."
- Fertilizer runoff refers to excess fertilizers being carried by water and entering bodies of water such as rivers or lakes. It is not directly related to groundwater. The correct answer for fertilizer runoff would be "k. nonpoint-source pollution."
6. Surface water that percolates through soil - You chose "a. pathogen."
- A pathogen refers to a disease-causing organism, and it does not relate to surface water percolating through soil. The correct answer for surface water percolating through soil would be "b. infiltration."
Based on the correct matches, your answers for bottled water (d. potable) and fertilizer runoff (h. groundwater) are correct, but your answers for the Mississippi River, area above an aquifer, multiple sources, and surface water that percolates through soil are incorrect.
