How does energy drive plate tectonics?

Energy from Earth’s interior heats liquid magma, causing convection currents that move plates in Earth’s crust.

Energy from Earth’s interior heats water on Earth’s surface, causing ocean currents that move plates in Earth’s crust.

Energy from the sun heats liquid magma, causing convection currents that move plates in Earth’s crust.

Energy from the sun heats water on Earth’s surface, causing ocean currents that move plates in Earth’s crust.

How does energy drive the water cycle?

Energy from the sun heats liquid water, forming water vapor.

Energy from Earth’s interior melts solid water, forming liquid water.

Energy from the sun heats condensed water, forming precipitation.

Energy from Earth’s interior heats liquid water, forming water vapor.

Which of these is an example of carbon cycling from a living form to a non-living form?

A deer eats grass, and then exhales carbon dioxide when it breathes.

A snake eats a mouse, and a weasel eats the snake.

A plant converts carbon dioxide gas into sugar.

A rabbit eats plants, and a hawk eats the rabbit.

What are the sources of the energy that drives Earth’s processes?

Earth’s interior and chemical reactions

Which statement BEST describes how convection currents drive processes in the Earth?

Convection currents deep in the Earth occur when molten rock rises to the surface, cools, and sinks back down. This causes changes in rocks at the surface and the movement of Earth's crust.

Convection currents on the surface of the Earth occur when the atmosphere moves pieces of the Earth's crust over time. This causes changes in rocks at the surface and the movement of Earth's crust.

Convection currents on the surface of the Earth occur when pieces of the Earth's crust to move to new locations. This causes changes in rocks at the surface and the movement of Earth's crust.

Convection currents deep in the Earth occur when molten rock flows underneath Earth's crust like a river. This causes changes in rocks at the surface and the movement of Earth's crust.

Which statement correctly contrasts the energy Earth receives from the Sun with energy from Earth’s interior?

Energy from the Sun reaches Earth’s surface through radiation. Energy from Earth’s Interior reaches Earth’s surface through convection

Energy from the Sun reaches Earth’s surface through conduction. Energy from Earth’s Interior reaches Earth’s surface through convection

Energy from the Sun reaches Earth’s surface through convection. Energy from Earth’s Interior reaches Earth’s surface through conduction

Energy from the Sun reaches Earth’s surface through conduction. Energy from Earth’s Interior reaches Earth’s surface through radiation

Which transformations in the rock cycle require heat?

Metamorphic rock to igneous rock

Sedimentary rock to metamorphic rock

Igneous rock to metamorphic rock

Igneous rock to sedimentary rock

Metamorphic rock to sedimentary rock

Which of the following processes cause rocks to change from one type of rock to another? Check all that apply.

Pressure from rock layers above

Melting from the heat inside Earth

None of these; rocks do not change from one type to another.

What are the main factors that cause rocks to change from one type to another?

Rocks do not change from one type to another; they only break down.

How is sedimentary rock formed?

Layers of particles are cemented together.

Magma cools and forms crystals.

Organic material is compressed.

Rock is heated and forms crystals.

Which of the following statements best describes how the rock cycle connects to matter cycles on Earth?

The matter that make up rocks is never destroyed, but this matter does change form and move from place to place.

The energy that drives the rock cycle comes from both the Sun and Earth's hot interior.

There are many different types of rocks on Earth, each with its own matter structure.

Rocks and minerals form over thousands of years.

A geologist argues that volcanic eruptions can cause geological changes on a global scale. Which piece of evidence best supports the geologist’s argument?

The gases and dust particles released during a volcanic eruption can form clouds that block solar radiation from reaching Earth’s surface.

The ash released during a volcanic eruption can mix with water to form fast-moving mud flows.

The lava released during a volcanic eruption can destroy wildlife habitats.

The explosive blast from volcanic eruption can knock down trees and buildings.

An impact crater forms when a meteor hits Earth’s surface with enough mass and velocity. A maar is a volcanic crater that forms when magma interacts with groundwater and causes a small explosion. Which statement about impact craters and maars is correct?

Both impact craters and maars form over short periods of time.

Impact craters form over a long period of time and maars form over a short period of time.

Both impact craters and maars form over long periods of time.

Impact craters form over a short period of time and maars form over long periods of time.

Which describes the changes earthquakes cause to Earth’s systems?

Fast changes that have local effects

Fast changes that have global effects

Slow changes that have local effects

Slow changes that have global effects
