Illuminate unit 4 test

Next, Emma wants to use her model to describe processes that occur in the water cycle that produce phase changes. Help Emma by dragging and dropping the change in phase that occurs in the water during each water cycle process listed. Remember these answers you have to type these answers in!

• Evaporation: Liquid to Gas

• Transpiration: Liquid to Gas

• Condensation: Gas to Liquid

• Precipitation water falls liquid or solid state

Emma wants to use her model to show how water gains or loses energy during different processes. When water warms up, it gains energy, and when water cools down it loses energy. Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements about how energy changes in the following processes.Remember these answers you have to type these answers in!

• During evaporation, water gains energy

• During transpiration, water gains energy

• During condensation, water loses energy.

• During precipitation, water loses energy

Starting with the shoe box in Emma’s model, which of the following shows the correct order for hot water changes?

• Condensation > crystallization > transpiration

• Evaporation> condensation> precipitation

• Precipitation > condensation > evaporation

• Transpiration > condensation > crystallization

4a Describe the energy source in the model. Explain what the energy source represents in Earth’s systems.

4b. Identify and describe the process that is simulated in the model using the energy source described in Part A.

• 4a The lamp is the energy source in the model. The lamp helps the water move through the system by adding heat energy to the system. The lamp represents the Sun in Earth’s systems. Energy from the Sun helps drive the water cycle.

• 4b Evaporation is the process that is simulated in the model. The lamp heats the water at the bottom of the shoe box causing it to evaporate. This simulates the evaporation of ocean water by the Sun.

• 4a. Adding an organism would not model transpiration because plants perform transpiration in Earth’s systems.

• 4b. Plants perform transpiration, releasing water vapor into Earth’s atmosphere. The current model does not have any parts that would help show this process so Emma should add a potted plant.

Emma’s teacher mentions that her model as is does not model the important water cycle process of transpiration. What could Emma add to her model to show the process of transpiration?

• An organism

• A potted plant

• A hole cut in the lid of the box

• A hose adding water into the box

The ocean plays a large role in determining Earth’s climate zones. Fueled by energy from the Sun, ocean currents help to distribute heat around the planet. Ocean currents can be created by many things such as wind, gravity, and density differences created by variations in temperature and salinity (salt concentration). The model shows ocean currents transferring heat from tropics to the polar regions..The movement of ocean currents is driven by density differences in water in different locations. The model shown helps explain some of the causes of density differences in water in two regions. Drag and drop the labels provided into the model to make it complete. The labels can be used once, more than once, or not at all.

• Ocean> Less heat from the Sun near the poles > temperature decreases > density increases > water sinks

• Ocean > More heat from the Sun in the tropics> temperature increases> density decreases> water rises

• Ocean > releases energy over time > Heat energy is spread around the Earth by ocean currents > ocean absorbs energy from the Sun

• Ocean > releases energy over time > Energy is lost from the Earth’s systems > Ocean absorbs energy from the Sun

Students are studying global patterns in ocean currents. One of the sources of information they are using.is the model shown. The students want to create a flow chart to model how ocean currents affect the climate in different regions on Earth. Which flow chart BEST models this concept?

• Ocean absorbs energy from the Sun > Ocean releases energy over time > Heat energy is spread around by Earth by ocean currents

• Ocean releases energy over time> Heat energy is spread around Earth by ocean currents > Ocean absorbs energy from the Sun

• Ocean absorbs energy from the Sun> Heat energy is spread around Earth by ocean currents > Energy is lost from the Earth’s system

• Ocean releases energy over time > Energy is lost from the Earth’s systems > Ocean absorbs energy from the Sun

The students want to make a model to show how currents move water of different temperatures. The students will mark their model with arrows and provide the details that go with each arrow. Drag and drop the provided options into the model to BEST show how water moves in ocean currents

• 1.Sun heats water in tropics > 2. Water moves north and gradually cools > 3. Water mixes with cold Arctic water and sinks

• 1.Water moves north and gradually cools > 2.Water mixes with cold Arctic water and sinks > 3.Sun heats water in tropics >

• .1.Water mixes with cold Arctic water and sinks > 2.Sun heats water in tropics > 3.Water moves north and gradually cools

Use the drop-down menus below to complete the statement about Earth's continents and circulation of ocean water

• The movement of water through the world's oceans is affected by the outline of the continents. The continents provide a barrier for the movement of water resulting in the water changing directions once it reaches the edge of a continent

• The movement of water through the world's oceans is not affected by the outline of the continents. The continents do not provide a barrier for the movement of water resulting in the water not changing directions once it reaches the edge of a continent

Weather maps show a variety of weather features such as temperature, precipitation, and pressure over certain areas at different points in time. Weather maps are used for research and to predict future weather conditions. Weather Map 1 shows four locations ( A,B,C,D) and each location’s weather conditions. The heavy blue lines represent a weather front or a boundary separating two air masses. The direction of the symbols (triangle and oval) on the lines show the direction that the air mass is moving. Select the statement that describes the movement of air masses on the weather map for Monday, March 4th.

• Air masses move from areas of low pressure to areas of high pressure.

• Air masses move from areas of low pressure to areas of of low pressure.

• Air masses move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

• Air masses move from areas of high pressure to areas of high pressure.
