• 0.50 g/min

• 2.0 g/min

• 3.0 g/min

• 10 g/min

Base your answer(s) to the following question(s) on the Earth Science Reference Tables, the diagrams below, and your knowledge of Earth science. The diagram represents particles of the same type of sedimentary rock material collected from a streambed. The diagrams are drawn actual size. Which inference about the density of particle A and particle B is most accurate?

• Particle A and particle B have the same density because they are made of the same material

• Particle A has a greater density than particle B because particle A has a greater volume

• Particle A has a greater density than particle B because particle A has a greater mass

• Particle B has a greater density than particle A because particle B has been worn to a smaller size

Particle A has a density of 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter and a volume of 15.0 cubic centimeter. What is the mass of this particle?

• 5.5 g

• 15.0 g

• 40.5 g

• 109.3 g

Base your answer(s) to the following question(s) on the Earth Science Reference Tables, the diagrams below, and your knowledge of Earth science. The diagrams represent four solid objects made of the same uniform material. The volumes of the sphere and the bar are not given. Which graph best represents the relative densities of the objects?

What will occur when the sphere is heated?

• Its mass will increase and its volume will remain the same.

• Its mass will decrease and its volume will remain the same.

• Its mass will remain the same and its volume will increase.

• Its mass will remain the same and its volume will decrease.
