Solids are trapped in the septic tank where bacteria digest the waste.
Liquid flows to drainage bed and return to groundwater.
A boat is moving towards tropical freshwater. Should the boat take in ballast water or let go of ballast water?
Remove ballast water since the water is less dense (warmer, less salty) so the boat experiences less buoyancy.
What is the Particle Theory of Matter?
All matter is made of tiny particles, empty spaces between them, moving randomly all the time, move faster when heated, attract each other
Which curve describes the behavior of liquids?
Blue curve
Which city (Timmins or Toronto) would experience a milder climate? Why?
Toronto is closer to a large water body so it would experience a milder climate because water has a high heat capacity.
Explain the El Nino effect and its effect on Canada.
Weakening of trade winds off the western coast of South America every 2-7 years. This leads to milder temperature and decreased precipitation in Canada.

Explain the relationship of all three gas laws.
Boyle - volume is inversely proportional to pressure. Charles - volume is proportional to temperature. Gay-Lussac - pressure is proportional to temperature.
Calculate the force on your body if you are laying down on the floor. The atmospheric pressure is 101.2kPa and your body has a surface area of approximately 1.9m^2.
