SC.6.E.7.3 Coastal areas of California, near San Francisco, generally have much lower temperatures than places like Fresno a few hundred mile inland. Why do these coastal areas have low temperatures?

A cold ocean current absorbs heat from winds blowing toward the coast.

Coastal areas receive less solar energy than inland areas.

The water of the ocean cannot absorb as much energy as the soil farther inland.

Mountains prevent winds from blowing warm air from the desert westward to the coast.

SC.7.E.7.4 Hurricane Irma made landfall in Florida in September 2017. Which of the following statements correctly identifies the interactions in Earth’s spheres as Hurricane Irma made landfall?

Beach erosion was the result of the interaction between the hydrosphere and geosphere.

Flash floods were the result of the interaction between the atmosphere and geosphere.

Intensification of Irma resulted from interaction between the hydrosphere and atmosphere.

SC.7.E.7.4 Earth’s polar ice caps are melting. Which of the following best describes the loss of the cryosphere on the biosphere at Earth’s poles?

Loss of ice results in fewer hunting grounds for wildlife.

Loss of ice results in more places for animals to swim.

Loss of ice results in more places for plants to grow.

Loss of ice results in more habitable land for wildlife.

SC.7.E.7.5 How does energy from the Sun contribute to the production of winds on the Earth?

Different areas absorb heat differently, so warmer air rises and cooler air moves in to fill the gap.

The Sun’s energy comes in radiating waves, which move the atmosphere around as they go through it.

Gravity pulls the air down from the mountaintops to the valleys and oceans, and this pushes on the air below.

Oceans heat and cool faster than the land, so they affect the air above them more than the land does.

SC.7.E.7.5 Which of the following explanations best describes the cause of global winds?

atmospheric convection of heat from hotter equatorial regions to cooler polar regions

the winds caused by uneven heating between the day and night side of the planet

radiation from warm regions to cooler regions

conduction of heat in Earth’s crust balancing out the Sun’s energy at the equator

SC.6.E.7.6 Weather and climate are related but they are not the same. What is the difference between weather and climate of a specific place?

Weather refers to conditions at a particular time but climate to conditions over a long period.

Weather refers to precipitation while climate refers to temperature changes.

Weather is a prediction about conditions but climate is the range of weather that can occur.

Weather can change from day to day but climate conditions are a permanent factor of a specific place.

SC.7.N.1.2 Which statement best describes the use of replication to verify the results of a scientific discovery?

Several scientists perform the same experiment separately and compare their results with the original experiment results.

Several scientists observe one scientist conduct experiments and compare their notes on the results obtained.

.One scientist repeats the same experiment multiple times and compares the results obtained.

One scientist performs several different experiments and compares the results obtained.

SC.6.N.1.4 Janet and Ahmad are both doing a science project about growing grass. They both sprinkle grass seed on a box of soil 10 cm by 15 cm by 5 cm deep. They plant their grass seed on the same day. They water the seeds with 50 mL of water every other day. After four days, the grass seed sprouts. After three weeks, Ahmad’s grass is 2 cm taller than Janet’s. What might account for the difference in growth rates?

the amount of sun each box received

the time of year the students planted the grass

the box of soil Ahmad used for planting was much larger than Janet’s soil box

the number of seeds Ahmad planted was greater than the number Janet planted

SC.7.N.1.5 A biologist studies living or once-living organisms. When a biologist thinks he has discovered a new plant, he classifies it. What method is he most likely to use to in his pursuit of scientific explanation?

He compares its traits to other plants he knows.

He plants it and observes the growth.

He measures it and draws a bar graph for its different parts.

SC.7.N.1.5 Geologists explain why the Earth is shaped the way it is. What is one method that geologists have used to gain knowledge and develop scientific explanations about how mountains form?

Geologists use models to show what happens to the Earth when mountains are formed.

Geologists make maps of current mountain ranges

Geologists create new mountain ranges under the ocean.

Geologists observe the formation of new mountain ranges each year.

Water vapor is one of the components of the air in the atmosphere. What change causes the water vapor in the air to form clouds?

As air rises, the water becomes heavier and changes form.

As it cools, water vapor in air condenses to liquid or solid forms.

As the air becomes less dense, water molecules collide and form drops.

As air rises in the atmosphere, it becomes warmer and cannot hold as much water.
