Science EOG Review - Day 1

Front

Which processes occur when a pot of water placed on a hot stove causes the water to boil?

Back

The pot heats because of conduction, and convection causes movement of the water.

Front

Why is the temperature cooler on cloudy days compared to sunny days?

Back

The clouds blocked radiation from the sun, causing cooler temperatures.

Front

Water droplets forming on the outside of a cold glass of water on a hot, summer day is an example of which part of the water cycle? Options: condensation, evaporation, precipitation, transpiration

Back

condensation

Front

What must occur before clouds can form?

Back

Water vapor must lose heat energy.

Front

In which way are evaporation and condensation similar?

Back

Both are caused by changes in heat energy.

Front

Which is the best example of a physical change?

Back

water in a cup turning into ice

Front

What best describes the change to Jennifer's bike after being buried in snow and covered in rust?

Back

It was a chemical change, because rust is a new substance on the metal.

Front

How do air masses move across the United States?

Back

The prevailing westerlies move air masses from west to east across the United States but may be deflected by the jet stream.

Front

What impact does the Gulf Stream have on North Carolina's coastal climate?

Back

The warm water from the Gulf Stream current warms the land.

Front

In North Carolina, the wind is blowing from the north. If the wind changes direction and begins to blow from the south, what will most likely result?

Back

The temperatures will increase.
