Delimiter between question and answer:

Tips:

  • No column headers.
  • Each line maps to a question.
  • If the delimiter is used in a question, the question should be surrounded by double quotes: "My, question","My, answer"
  • The first answer in the multiple choice question must be the correct answer.

Describe the greenhouse effect:
The greenhouse effect is the process through which heat is trapped near Earth's surface by substances known as 'greenhouse gases.'
Describe the process of eutrophication
Eutrophication is a general term describing a process in which nutrients accumulate in a body of water, resulting in an increased growth of microorganisms that

Weathering and erosion
 
Sedimentation
 
Tectonic uplift
 
Decomposition

Nitrifying bacteria
 
Plants
 
Plankton
Which of the following is a downside of geothermal power?
 
Can only be built in particular locations.
 
It is a nonrenewable resource.
 
Uses rare minerals that expensive to obtain
 
Only active during certain times of day.
The biggest reservoir of carbon is...

Eutrophication occurs from excess carbon in a water supply:
 
False
 
True
Which of the following is an advantage of nuclear power
 
Almost no CO2 emmissions.
 
Cheap to build and maintain.
 
It uses renewable resources.
 
It uses a liquid that is easier to transport.
Which of the following is an argument against nuclear power?
 
Waste is difficult to remove.
 
Produces large volumes of CO2.
 
Can only built in very specific locations.
 
Only active during certain times of the day.
Explain why the phosphorus cycle is faster or slower than the nitrogen cycle:
The phosphorus cycle is slower than the nitrogen cycle because it is mostly controlled by geologic processes such weathering and tectonic activity.

Transpiration
 
Photosynthesis
 
Evaporation
 
Condensation
The process by which water travels vertically below ground:
 
Infiltration
 
Surface run-off
 
Transpiration
 
Precipitation
