What happens to air pressure as altitude increases?

Air pressure increases, then decreases

What inference can be drawn based on the data provided in the graph?

Air pollution increased because of heavy auto traffic at peak travel times

The occurrence of rain and snow made the air pollution increase

Air pollution decreased when the amount of sunlight changed

High wind velocity caused the air pollution to decrease

How are stars, galaxies, and the universe related?

A galaxy is a large collection of stars, dust, and gas, and the universe contains billions of galaxies

A group of galaxies forms a star, and a group of stars forms the universe

The universe is made up of stars, and galaxies make up stars

The universe is a large collection of stars, dust, and gas, and stars contain billions of galaxies

The greatest tidal ranges occur during which moon phases?

First quarter and third quarter

How are the stars distributed in space?

In clumps that are themselves unevenly distributed in space

Evenly distributed throughout space with no significant clumping

In clumps that are evenly distributed in space, with scattered stars in between

In clumps that are themselves evenly distributed in space

What best supports the concept of the Big Bang Theory?

The galaxies are exhibiting a red shift

The planets can spin on their axes

The planets vary in chemical composition

The universe is composed of galaxies of different shapes and sizes

Which of the following is NOT true of the scientific process?

Scientific laws can never change under any circumstance

All scientific ideas may change as new evidence is collected

Scientists use peer review to try and avoid bias

An experiment can always be improved by –

Using more than one independent variable

Which of the following best describes Earth’s orbital position in our solar system?

Outside of three smaller planets

Which of the following best describes the origin of oxygen gas in Earth’s atmosphere?

Photosynthesis by cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)

Combustion of ancient plant material

Respiration by primitive animals

Which of the following is an inference?

The moon was created by a collision between Earth and another object in space

The moon is 386,000 km away from the Earth

The moon’s phases cycle once every 29.5 days

It is inferred that during the early Archean Era the atmosphere of Earth contained water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and other gases in small amounts. These gases probably came from –

Evaporation of Paleozoic oceans

Convection currents in the mantle

How does the ocean regulate atmospheric temperatures and weather?

By storing and slowly releasing heat

With tidal fluctuations that distribute heat evenly

By the effect of ocean winds that distribute heat from the sun

By conducting heat from underground volcanoes

Why is a lake cooler than the land during the day, but warmer than the land during the night?

Land heats and cools more quickly than water

Water changes temperature more quickly than land

Water heats and cools more quickly than land

The sun’s radiation strikes land more directly than water

How is sea level affected when glaciers melt?

sea level fluctuates more rapidly

sea level fluctuates more slowly

How does the El Nino-Southern Oscillation cycle affect climate?

It causes some areas to have more typhoons, cyclones, and floods, while other areas experience more droughts

It increases global precipitation in all regions

It causes worldwide drought and famine

It causes large rogue waves and tsunami to occur along most shorelines

What can be concluded from this chart?

Most of Earth’s water is found in the oceans.

Earth has an unlimited supply of freshwater.

The amount of freshwater far exceeds the amount of saltwater.

Earth has an equal supply of both saltwater and freshwater.

How can science successfully explain or predict anything as complex as the weather or Earth’s evolution?

Science usually works on big, complex systems by trying to understand smaller parts of the phenomena and then putting the parts together.

Scientists now have supercomputers that can figure out the biggest problems in just one try.

Most scientists are not interested in large, complex systems but only in the smaller ones.

This is a great problem in science because there is not really any way to understand these big, complex problems.

Michelle wanted to find out experimentally which types of mineral react to ultraviolet (UV) light. She hypothesized that some minerals would react to ultraviolet light and others would not. In order to come up with a valid conclusion for her experiment, Michelle should

Observe different minerals under the UV light and use logic to explain what she observed.

Research the subject of minerals and UV light, and then write a conclusion.

Guess which minerals might react to the UV light, and then write a conclusion.

Find a mineral to test with the UV light, and then write a general conclusion about what she observed.
