Question 1.
What is Fick's Law?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how substances move in a given space.
Question 2.
Define mixing height.
Show hintHide hint
Consider where pollution mixing occurs in the atmosphere.
3Question 3.
What does Fick's Law describe?
- A. Air pressure
- B. Diffusion
- C. Temperature variation
Show hintHide hint
Consider how substances spread out over time.
4Question 4.
True or False: A negative lapse rate indicates stable atmospheric conditions.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about temperature changes with height.
Question 5.
Calculate the concentration of a gas emitted from a factory at ground level after moving 50 meters up in a stable atmosphere if the initial concentration was 100 ppm and the environmental lapse rate was -0.006 °C/m.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how stability modifies concentrations as pollutants rise.
Question 6.
A plume from a factory is observed to rise and spread at different angles. How would you analyze the shape and dispersion patterns based on atmospheric conditions?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how different atmospheric conditions affect air parcel behavior and dispersion shapes.
