How does the ocean effect (provide the energy for) the formation of hurricanes?

Ocean water is warm and heats the air above it

Ocean water is cool and cools the air above it

Ocean water contains salt that reacts with air, changing air pressure

Ocean water contains algae that make oxygen, changing the air's composition

Which of the following statements are true? (Choose all that apply)

The plants move faster when they are closer to the sun and slower when they are further from the sun

The planets orbit in a perfect circle

The farther a planet is from the sun the faster the orbit (P 2 = a 3 )

Some scientists have predicted that buildup of greenhouse gases will contribute to the occurrence of more hurricanes. Which is the MOST likely assumption used in making this prediction?

Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide will cause increased ocean surface temperatures.

Acid rainfall will cause a decrease in oceanic surface temperatures.

Any measurable increase in ocean surface temperatures must be caused by human activities.

Saturation of nitrogen in the atmosphere will cause a wide range of ocean surface temperatures.

Weathering and erosion are processes that constantly change Earth’s surface. How do weathering and erosion differ?

Weathering breaks down materials. Erosion moves materials.

Weathering acts quickly. Erosion acts slowly

Weathering acts underground. Erosion acts above ground.

Weathering is caused by wind. Erosion is caused by water.

As water freezes, it expands and its density decreases.

As water freezes, it takes up more hydrogen from the atmosphere, causing it to have a greater buoyancy.

As water freezes, air becomes trapped between the hydrogen bonds of water molecules.

As water freezes, it takes up more oxygen from the atmosphere, causing it to have a greater buoyancy.

What geologic process formed the Himalayas?

two continental plates converging

an earthquake in a subduction zone

a tectonic plate moving over a hot spot

movement at a transform fault boundary

Why does oceanic crust subduct under continental crust?

The oceanic crust is more dense.

The oceanic crust is less dense.

Global warming affects sea levels. Which of these is a likely consequence if the trend of global warming continues in coming decades?

Melting glaciers will cause flooding of coastal towns and cities.

Melting glaciers will cause flash flooding in mountainous regions.

Evaporation will cause the formation of fjords and U-shaped valleys.

Evaporation will cause sea levels to drop enlarging coastal areas.

Renewable resources are

resources that can be replaced to be used over and over again

resources that cannot be reused or replaced

resources that will never run out

Coal, oil, and natural gas are all nonrenewable resources because

it takes a long time for them to form

Why do we have night and day?

Earth's revolution around the Sun

Where did the water in Earth's early oceans come from?

the escape of water vapor and other gases from the molten rocks of the Earth

an asteroid that collided with the earth

How is sedimentary rock formed?

Organic material is compressed and layers of particles are cemented together

Rock is heated and forms crystals.

Which evidence best supports the theory that the continents have moved over time?

The shape of the landmasses seem to fit together

The weather that happens in different continents

The climate differences all over the world

The limited amount of freshwater available

Which of the following is the very reason why porosity is important soil property?

It indicates the ability of the water to flow through soil.

It indicates the ability of the soil to deform without breaking.

It indicates the amount of water available for plant growth.

It indicates how well soil particles stick together.

Check all that applies. Which of the following describes a divergent boundary?

I. mostly found at the sea floor

IV. two plates that move away from each other

II. two plates that glide past each other

III. results in the formation of trenches
