Which is NOT a part of the cell theory?

Cells are the basic unit of life.

All living things are made of cells.

Cells come from pre-existing cells.

How do the Earth's continental and ocean crust compare in density?

A. Continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust.

B. Oceanic crust and continental crust have the same density.

C. Oceanic crust is less dense than continental crust.

D. Continental crust has a high density, while oceanic crust has no density.

Chrystal made a table to help her remember a few properties of igneous rock and sedimentary rock. A broken pen leaked ink on her paper. Her table is shown below. What are igneous rock and sedimentary rock made from?

D. Igneous rock is made from cooled lava, and sedimentary rock is made from layers of rock particles.

A. Igneous rock is made from dead organisms, and sedimentary rock is made from non-recycled plastic.

B. Igneous rock is made from cooled lava, and sedimentary rock is made from non-recycled plastic.

C. Igneous rock is made from dead organisms, and sedimentary rock is made from layers of rock particles.

The layer of the Earth called the mantle is often described as convecting. In this context, convection is

C. a continuous cycle in the Earth's interior.

B. a process that keeps the mantle stationary.

The image below shows what occurs under Earth's surface in certain areas. What does the model demonstrate?

A. Tectonic plates are pushed apart partly due to convection currents moving through the asthenosphere.

B. In the asthenosphere, as heat circulates, plates are pushed upward causing seismic activity.

C. Tectonic plates are pushed apart due to steam caused by heat circulation in the asthenosphere.

D. In the asthenosphere, circulating heat expands the thickness of the crust of each plate.

How do metamorphic rocks form?

B. Heat and pressure are added to igneous and sedimentary rocks over a long period of time.

A. Bones and shells of dead animals are buried by sediment in a short amount of time.

C. Molten rock touches air above the ground and then quickly cools to become solid.

D. Sediment and small rocks are pressed and slowly cemented together.

In subduction zones, dense pieces of oceanic crust are pulled downward toward the mantle. What is the result of this?

D. New crust is formed on the opposite end of the plate as it is pulled away from its neighbor.

B. The oceanic crust crumples and forms a mid-ocean ridge.

A subduction zone is an area where one tectonic plate sinks underneath another one. Volcanoes often form as a result. Which of the following plate collisions would most likely result in a subduction zone?

A. a piece of continental crust and a piece of oceanic crust meeting at a convergent boundary

B. two pieces of continental crust meeting at a divergent boundary

C. two pieces of oceanic crust meeting at a divergent boundary

D. a piece of continental crust and a piece of oceanic crust meeting at a divergent boundary

A student reads the following text that describes some natural Earth processes that can occur: "When pressure is applied as rock is heated, metamorphic rock can form. This heat and pressure can be great enough to cause deformation, while not melting the rock." Which of the following correctly describes these processes?

A. Energy from the interior of Earth causes rocks to change within the geosphere.

B. Energy from the Sun causes rocks to change within the geosphere.

The sedimentary rock shown below is made up of tiny grains of sand that came to rest in one location. The process that created this formation:

B. occurred over many years as sediment was gradually deposited.

A. occurred over several months of heavy flooding.

C. was the result of a brief volcanic eruption.

D. was generated rapidly by an earthquake.

Which of the following is true about processes that shape the Earth?

D. Some processes that shape the Earth are happening so slowly they cannot be easily detected in a human's lifetime.

A. All processes that shape the Earth begin and end within a person's lifetime.

B. Only one process shapes the Earth in a way that humans can notice.

C. Although there are many different processes that shape the Earth, none of the processes can be observed by humans.

Two hundred and twenty-five million years ago, all of today's continents were part of a single continent known as Pangaea. The map below shows the positions of some of these continents. There is a significant amount of evidence that can be used to support the theory that Pangaea existed. Which of the following explains how the map shows evidence for the existence of Pangaea?

C. The continents' shapes fit together well, and some continents have the same fossils.

A. The continents' shapes do not fit together very well, but some continents have the same fossils.

B. The continents' shapes fit together well, but each continent has completely different fossils.

D. The continents' shapes do not fit together very well, and each continent has completely different fossils.

The Earth's surface is constantly changing. The diagram below shows a zone in which an ocean plate is sliding underneath a continental plate. In the area labeled X, high heat and pressure help produce rock formations. What does this diagram best demonstrate?

In certain areas, metamorphic rocks can be produced as mountains form

Coastlines form when two plates move toward each other.

Volcanic eruptions immediately form metamorphic rock that build mountain ranges.

In certain areas, sedimentary rocks cause volcanoes to form.

A geologist looks at a sample of granite and notices that the texture of the igneous rock's minerals have a large grain. What can the geologist infer about this granite?

The rate at which the magma cooled to form the granite was very slow.

The rate at which the magma cooled to form the granite was very quick.

The rate had no affect on the texture of the igneous rock.

The very top layer of soil is mostly made of:

mostly organic material (humus)

a mixture of minerals and organic material

What does the skeletal system do?

Provides structure and support to the body

Carries oxygen and nutrients to the cells

Takes in oxygen and lets out carbon dioxide
