Multiple Choice

In many parts of Texas, the soil forms a smooth thick mud when it rains.  The water is more likely to runoff than absorb into the ground due to the lack of drainage through the soil. 

The soil type is most likely —

• clay

• silt

• loam

• sand

Multiple Choice

The illustration shows one of Earth’s renewable resources.

How is the illustration modeling a renewable resource?

• The natural recycling process  of  the water cycle makes water a renewable resource.

• The storage of water in large  and small lakes makes water a renewable resource.

• Glaciers are a renewable  resource by recycling water  through melting.

• Storage of salt water in the  oceans make water a  renewable resource.

Multiple Choice

A group of students wants to build a desert garden at school. They need soil that allows water to drain away easily for the desert plants in this garden. The students test different soils to determine how much water passes through and how much water remains in each soil as shown in the table.

Based on the table, which types of soils are best to use to build the garden?

• clay and sand

• sand and gravel

• gravel and silt

• silt and clay

• clay

• silt

• loam

• sand
