Cornelius van Niels proposed that this substance may have been produced as a byproduct of carbon fixing by purple and green bacteria. This substance is found sporadically in the vadose zone. When this substance is involved, a volcanic eruption can be “phreatic.” Large-scale movement of this substance is facilitated by thermohaline circulation. When it is removed from belowground, land subsidence can result, as can sinkholes. For 10 points, name this substance whose “fresh” type is contained in aquifers. ANSWER: water [or H2O; accept various types of water, such as fresh water ; prompt on steam ] 2. Dong Fuxiang’s army of ten thousand Muslims from Gansu participated in this event, which saw the killing of missionaries in the Taiyuan Massacre. The Eight-Nation Alliance was formed to stop this event, which began in part due to resentment against the Western “spheres of influence” granted by the Unequal Treaties and the Open Door policy. The Dowager Empress voiced support for this movement, which arose in 1898 and lasted until 1901. For 10 points, name this Chinese anti-foreigner rebellion led by the Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists.
