Apes FRQ unit 5 Questions and Answers
Many of Earths resources, including forests and mineral ores, can be depleted or
damaged because of the growing human population. - answer Provisioning service's
would be food, water, and wood.

Describe one possible negative environmental impact, other than loss of habitat or
decreasing biodiversity, of clear-cutting large areas of old-growth forest. - answer
Adds carbon that was sequestrated in plant tissue to the atmosphere.

One official advocated for clear-cutting one-hectare plots in the middle of every twenty
hectares of the intact old-growth forest. The official says that this pattern will maximize
biodiversity in the area while still allowing for the harvesting of timber. Explain how this
pattern could produce more biodiversity than the old-growth forest alone. - answer
Species with niche/habitats in grasslands or early succession communities have
increased habitat available.

Another official wants to harvest timber in a more sustainable way. The official wants to
assess individual trees and remove only the most economically valuable trees to help
maintain the forest ecosystem. Propose a logging technique that would best meet these
two goals. - answer Select cut.

Explain how your proposal would meet both the goal to improve biodiversity and the
goal to harvest timber. - answer Meet both goals with timber harvested, however
when individual trees are selected, the habitat is minimally distributed/disrupted and a
variety of canopy levels/tree ages would be preserved, allowing the current biodiversity
to thrive.

Another concern resulting from an increasing human population is the extraction of
mineral ores, such as iron ore, from Earth. The iron reserves for several countries are
shown in the graph. Iron content is refined from crude ore.
*BAR GRAPH*
identify the country with the highest iron content reserves. - answer Australia.

Describe one advantage of reusing or recycling iron rather than mining new iron. -
answer Reducing damage/destruction to habitat from new mining operation.

Based on the data in the graph, explain why the United States would be the country that
would most likely benefit the most from reusing or recycling iron rather than mining iron.
- answer The United States has the smallest crude oil reserves of all the countries
listed, so there is less potential for income/economic gain from new mining.

Describe one negative environmental impact of piles of tailings left at iron mine sites. -
answer Release of toxic metals (such as arsenic, and mercury) into the environment.
