4.This event did not cause any additional erosion to occur in the area because the fire did not cause any additional rock or soil to move and neither did the pollution.

5. This event did not cause any additional deposition to occur in the area because the fire did not cause any additional rock or soil to be deposited in a new location and neither did the pollution.
6. Plate Tectonics was not involved in this event because nothing involved with plate tectonics caused the river to burn and the river burning did not cause anything involved with plate tectonics.
1. This event polluted both the air and the water because the smoke and carbon dioxide from the fire polluted the air and the industrial waste in the river polluted the water.
This event occurred on June 22, 1969. The event happened on the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland Ohio, near the Republic Steel Mill. Oil and industrial waste was covering the Cuyahoga River and as a train passed by it created sparks that caught the river on fire. The fire caused about $100,000 in damage to two railroad bridges.
1. I don’t think that this event affected the water cycle very much except for causing some acid rain because I could not find any research about how the event affected the water cycle, but the waste in the river could have stopped water from evaporating.
1. Weathering is the breaking down of rocks. Erosion is the moving of weathered rock and soil. Deposition is the depositing of weathered rocks and soil in a new location. Plate Tectonics is the moving of the Earth’s plates because of the convection currents in the mantle.
4. The troposphere was most affected by this event because we live in the troposphere and the pollution occurred in the troposphere, polluted the troposphere, and for the most part stayed in the troposphere.
3.This event did cause additional weathering to take place in the area because the fire and smoke added carbon dioxide, sulfur oxide, and nitrogen oxide to the air and when these gases combine with water in the air they can make acid rain which can weather rocks.
3. This event did add gases to our atmosphere, the gases it added were carbon dioxide because the fire created smoke which has carbon dioxide and many other different particles and chemicals in it, also it added nitrogen oxide from the smoke, and sulfur oxide from the smoke.
2. Weathering is a destructive process because it breaks down rocks. Erosion is also destructive because it moves rocks and soil from their place. Deposition is constructive because it deposits rocks and soil in new locations which builds up new things. Plate Tectonics can be both constructive and destructive, it can be constructive because it can make mountains and other landforms, but it is destructive because it can cause earthquakes and can make volcanos which are destructive.
2. This event affected the Carbon-Oxygen Cycle because the burning of the river added smoke and carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, making the cycle have more carbon dioxide than normal in the area. I think this event affected the Nitrogen cycle because the fire could have added extra nitrogen oxide to the air and the cycle in the area.
3. The long term effects are that many environmental laws such as the Clean Water Act and many more. Also in the mid 1980’s the fish count in the that part of the lake was only about 10 fish but now there are 40 different species of fish in the same region. Also many river cleanup groups were founded such as Friends of The Crooked River founded in the 1990’s.
2. The short term affects of the pollution were that the people who were near the river could have gotten headaches, eye irritations, ear irritations, and nuesa because of the carbon dioxide in the air, also some people were injured by the fire. Also the fire caused about $50,000 in damage. Also at the time of the fire there were only about ten fish living in that part of the river.
If there was a slope on the river it could quicken the rate at which pollution spreads or if there was a waterfall it could quicken the rate at which pollution spreads because the slope lets gravity help pull down the water and the pollution.
An aerial map is different from a topographic map
because a topographic map shows the land features
that occur naturally but a aerial map shows the
roads and other man made formations, also a
topographic map shows the elevation and relief
of an area with contour lines but a aerial map does not.
A topographic map could be useful to show landforms
and the elevation of the area and the river.
