The temperature increases because some of the coolness of the water is absorbed by the ice.

The temperature increases because some of the coolness of the ice is absorbed by the water.

Which best explains how Earth’s climate is impacted by convection?

Convection helps move thermal energy around the Earth.

Convection helps cool the Earth and the atmosphere around it.

Convection continuously pumps cool energy through the oceans.

Convection stops the flow of cool air and maintains warm weather.

Michelle wants to roast marshmallows over a fire. Which best explains how this process happens?

The warmth of the fire is radiated into the marshmallow.

The warmth of the fire is conducted into the marshmallow.

The coolness of the marshmallow is conducted into the fire.

The coolness of the marshmallow is radiated into the fire.

Sara wants to keep drinks cold during an afternoon sports game. Which container would most likely keep her drinks cold for several hours?

plastic, because it will insulate from heat

metal, because it will conduct heat

plastic, because it will conduct heat

metal, because it will insulate from heat

Which is an example of radiation?

getting hot from lying in the sun

boiling a pot of noodles for dinner

feeling warm while taking a hot shower

burning yourself after touching a hot plate

Which statement is true of evaporation on a cloudy day?

Evaporation occurs at a slower rate on a cloudy day.

Evaporation does not occur on a cloudy day.

Evaporation occurs at a faster rate on a cloudy day.

Lucas is boiling 200 g of salt water in an open pot on the stove. Which is a possible weight of the contents of the pot after 10 minutes of boiling?

150 g because some water evaporates into the air surrounding the pot and decreases the total mass

100 g because the salt dissolves in the hot water and has no mass

200 g because none of the salt or water is lost during the interaction and mass is conserved

250 g because some of the water evaporates into the air surrounding the pot, but the salt becomes a solid and adds mass

Which best describes how the sun’s energy impacts the process of precipitation?

The sun’s energy changes liquid water into vapor, which condenses into clouds, then falls back to the earth as rain, sleet, or snow.

The sun’s energy causes water to collect into oceans, which evaporates into the atmosphere, then forms into clouds.

The sun’s energy causes water to evaporate into the atmosphere, which forms into clouds, then condenses into the oceans.

The sun’s energy changes liquid water into clouds, which condenses into vapor, then falls back to the earth as rain, sleet, or snow.
