The impacts of oil sand industry in Alberta
The environmental impacts of oil sand industry in Alberta outweighs the short term economic benefits. Focus on the environmental impacts oil sands create in alberta ( pollution, forest destruction, displacement of animals, etc)
The primary productivity of the biome
Compare the primary productivity of the biome you chose referencing the “Net Primary Productivity” figure. It is high or low? Why? Describe how carbon cycles into, around, and out of soil. What is the role of vegetation in that process?
The role of soil in the carbon cycle.
Describe the role of soil in the carbon cycle. How does it compare to the amount of carbon in other reservoirs, such as the atmosphere and vegetation?
The roles of nitrifying bacteria
Describe the specific roles of nitrifying bacteria, decomposers, and denitrifying bacteria in the plant/soil ecosystem. How are they similar? How are they different? How do microbes change the number of carbon compounds in the soil and carbon dioxide in the air?
The feedback mechanism
Describe and explain at least one feedback mechanism that would further increase global temperatures once a warming trend has started. What is the overall trend in global temperature since 1880?
The partial melting
Describe how partial melting of the mantle produces a mafic (basaltic) composition at a mid-ocean ridge. Given an igneous rock name/type (e.g. gabbro) what are the typical physical characteristics for that rock composition (e.g., magma/lava viscosity, SiO2 content, temperature, mineral percentages, etc.).
The weathering of granite
What are the main products of the weathering of granite? Discuss What is the chemical reaction called that weathers feldspar in granite?
The cultural-geographic conditions
Give an account of the countries’ cultural-geographic conditions: Population (size, birth rate, death rate, life expectancy, business, economy (GDP), prosperity (HDI) (+ any other things you consider relevant) You can advantageously present this information in tabular form
The stratospheric ozone
The only form of ozone that the climate & environmental field is concerned with is stratospheric ozone because it protects the contents on the surface of the earth from harmful shortwave solar radiation (UV). Explain
