Question 1.
Define diffusion in the context of sediment-water interaction.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how particles move in a solution.
Question 2.
What is resuspension?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what happens to soil during heavy rain.
3Question 3.
What is the primary mechanism of diffusion?
- Coherent movement
- Molecular movement
- Systematic movement
Show hintHide hint
Remember how particles naturally disperse in liquids.
4Question 4.
True or False: Resuspension always decreases the quality of water.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the effects of stirred mud in a lake.
Question 5.
Imagine a water body where heavy rainfall causes a significant increase in sediment resuspension. Describe the potential impacts on the sediment and water quality.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the consequences on marine or river organisms.
Question 6.
A biologist studies the effect of worms on chemical transport in sediments. Discuss how you would design an experiment to measure this impact.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how to isolate variables effectively in your design.
