Y8 Earth Questions Answer

Name the four main processes in
the carbon cycle
Photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, combustion
What is the word equation for Glucose + Oxygen  Carbon dioxide + Water
respiration?
What is the word equation for Carbon dioxide + Water  Glucose + Oxygen
photosynthesis?
What is the word equation for Fuel + Oxygen  Carbon dioxide + Water
combustion?
Fats, carbohydrates and proteins  Carbon dioxide + Water
What is decomposition?
What is the carbon cycle? The constant cycling of carbon
Naturally occurring rock that contains enough mineral to make it worth extracting
What is a metal ore?
Two or more elements chemically bonded together
What is a compound?
Metals as compounds
What is a mineral?
Aluminium
What is bauxite the ore for?
What is iron oxide the ore for? Iron
What is a blast furnace? Huge container where iron is extracted from iron ore
What is the advantage of a blast • Produces (a lot) of pure product
furnace?
• Uses a lot of energy and is therefore expensive to carry out
• Produces lots of solid waste
What is a disadvantage of a blast • Produces carbon dioxide
furnace?
What is electrolysis? Use electricity to break down a substance
• Produces less pollution
• Less waste rock
What is an advantages of • Can use low grade copper ore
electrolysis?
• Can produce toxic chemicals
What is a disadvantages of • Requires lots of electricity – expensive
electrolysis?
To collect and process materials that have been used so that the materials can be used
again.
What is recycling?
Resources will last longer Less energy is used to recycle than to make a new product
Reduces waste and pollution
What are the advantages of
recycling?
What are the disadvantages of
recycling? Lorries collecting the waste use fuel and create pollution
