Mr. Beeler asked the class to explain what infiltration is. Below are 3 students answer:

Maria: Infiltration is when plants lose water from their leaves
Joselyn: Infiltration is when water soaks into the soil
Sam: Infiltration is when water on the surface of the runs into a body of water like a lake

A utility‘s operating costs for its electrostatic precipitator was the following:
2015 = $345,000
2016 = $325,000
2017 = $355,000

What were the annual percent changes from 2015-2016?

One BTU is the energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
The density of water is 1 gram/milliliter or approximately 8 pounds/gallon (U.S.).

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of one thousand gallons of water by 25°F?

Radon has a half life of 3.8 days. After 7.6 days, 6 grams remain. What was the mass of the original sample?

pH is a scale that increases or decrease by 10x. How much more acidic is an acid of 4 versus water with a pH of 7?

Productivity
Gross Primary Production - Cellular Respiration = Net Primary Productivity

Gross Primary Productivity is 5 g C/m2 or kJ/m2. Cellular respiration is 3 g C/m2 or kJ/m2. What is the NPP?

Rule of 70
For doubling time.

A country has a growth rate of 2%. How many years will it take to double?

1

10% Rule
As energy moves up trophic levels, only 10% of the energy passes on, while 90% is lost to heat or other mechanisms.

If the producers starts with 10,000 kJ of energy, what is left for the secondary consumer?
