| What does Temperature measure? | It measures how hot or cold something is. |
| What does it mean when temerature increases? | Warmer air, Direct sunlight. |
| What does it mean when the temperature decreases? | Colder air, shaded sunlight. |
| What are three causes of temperature increasing? | Warm Air, Shallow Water, and Thermal Pollution. |
| What are three causes of temperature decrasing? | Cold air, Deep water, Shaded sunlight. |
| What does Disolved Oxygen measure? | Disolved Oxygen measures how much oxygen has disolved in to the water. |
| What does the word increase mean? | To go up. |
| What does the word decrease mean? | To go down. |
| What are three things that cause disolved oxygen to go up? | Colder water, Photosynthisis is occuring, and moving water. |
| What three things cause dissolved oxygen to decrease? | Warmer water, photosynthisis stops, decomposition. |
| What effects happen when temperature gets to hot | More streesed orginisms, less dissolved oxygen, algae blooms |
| What are the effects when dissolved oxygen decreases | Fewer kinds of living things will be able to survive. |
| What does Conductivity measure? | It measures the ability of water to pass an electrical current. |
| What are three causes of conductivity increasing? | More total dissolved solids (TDS), more limestone and salt in rocks, and runoff. |
| What are three causes of conductivity desreasing? | Less total dissolved solids (TDS), removal of sewage, and removal of chlorine. |
| What are effects when conductivity increases? | Dehydrated fish and dead vegitation Decrease: hydrated fish and good vegitation |
| What do Nitrites measure? | It is nitrogen and oxygen combined which creates .Nitrites |
| What three things make nitrite levels go up? | Fertilizer, sewage, and Bacteria. |
| What are three things that make nitrite levels go down? | Plants, dilluted water, removal of waste |
| What are the effects of dissolved oxygen when it increases? | Greater Diversity of living things. |
| How do animals and plants get Nitrites? | Animals obtain Nitrite from eating plants and plants get it from absorbing water. |
| What does pH measue? | When water mixes with anither substance. |
| When pH increases the water is becoming more..... | Basic. |
| When pH decreases the water becomes more.... | Acidic. |
| What are three things that make pH levels increase? | Minerals, more photosynthisis, and OH-. |
| What are three things that make pH levels decrease? | Acidic rainfall, Resperation, and Ammonia changes to Nitrite. |
| What are effects of pH increasing? | Plants will not grow and it is harmful and leathal to fish |
| Eutrophication | When excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water, frequently due to runoff from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life and death of animal life from lack of oxygen. |
| What are effected when nitrite the increase | Algae bloom and eutrophication occurs |
| What is effected when Nitrites decrease | Death (Aquatic) |
| What happens when temperature decreases | More stressed orginisms, less dissolved oxygen, and algae blooms. |
| What happens when conductivity decreases? | Hydrated fish and good vegitation. |
| What happens when pH decreases | Fish eggs will not hatch. |
