Examine the diagram. A fossil hunter came upon the strange rock formation shown above. After studying the fossils contained in each strata of the rock, she found fossils similar in age and species in Layers A and F. She found other ages and species of fossils that matched in Layers B and G. What is the most likely explanation for the age and species of fossils she could expect to find in Layers C and H?

The fossils in Layer C should be of similar species and ages as those in Layer H.

The fossils in Layer C should be older than those found in Layer H.

The fossils in Layer C should be younger than those found in Layer H.

The fossils of these layers will have no common characteristics.

In parts of inland Mississippi, there are deposits of sediment where fossils of shark teeth, shells, and other aquatic organisms can be found. Which of the following is the MOST LIKELY explanation for these deposits?

The state of Mississippi used to be covered by a shallow tropical area.

Dirt containing ocean fossils was transported to inland locations.

The state of Mississippi once supported a tropical rainforest ecosystem.

The movement of glaciers across North America produced fossil deposits.

In terms of strata and the fossil record, what is a simple explanation for the Law of Superposition?

The youngest rock layers are found closest to the surface.

The oldest rock layers are found closest to the surface.

Sedimentary rock layers have the greatest amount of fossils.

Igneous and metamorphic rock layers are located only near the surface.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of an index fossil?

They evolved in shallow seas no longer in existence.

They have short vertical ranges (through geological time).

They have wide geographic distributions.

They are distinctive/easily recognized.

In which type of rock are the most fossils typically found?

Sedimentary rocks since they form at low pressure and temperature preserving fossils.

Sedimentary rocks since they form in water where animal remains collect.

Intrusive igneous rocks since they form underground where fossils are undisturbed.

Intrusive igneous rocks since these form under high pressure, help to compress the remains in deep layers.

Which characteristic makes a fossil an excellent index fossil?

It lived for a short period but in many places.

It is the oldest fossil ever found.

It has a different look and color compared to most fossils.

A group of researchers plan to investigate the geological history of a region by studying the fossils present in the rocks. Which rock from the region should the researchers choose to carry out the investigation?

an old sedimentary rock exposed by wind erosion

a young igneous rock formed beneath Earth

a young volcanic rock formed from the erupted lava

an old metamorphic rock that rose to the surface after geologic uplift

Earth's tectonic plates move on the Earth's surface. Scientists believe forces under the Earth's surface cause this movement. Which of the following BEST explains the cause of this movement?

Convection currents within the Earth are the driving force behind plate movement.

The core is a hot, dense ball of (mostly) iron. Heat is transferred by conduction to the plates and it is the cause of plate movement.

Radiation from the Sun heats up the surface of the Earth, causing the plates to move.

The core is boiling liquid material. The gases created by this boiling action cause the plates to move.

Mountains are a result of natural events. How are mountain ranges, like the Himalayas, formed?

tectonic plates colliding and pushing upwards

melting of glaciers over thousands of years

The image shows two tectonic plates moving away from each other. What must have caused the plates to move apart from each other?

convection currents in the mantle

the gravitational pull of the Moon

increase in the Earth's magnetic field

decrease in the weight of the tectonic plate

A new interactive map is created showing regions at high risk for wildfires, floods, and landslides. What would be the most appropriate use of this natural hazard map?

To help communities understand vulnerabilities and plan disaster preparedness.

To promote development in high-risk hazard zones.

To identify hazardous areas for targeted tourism opportunities.

To determine where to remove the environmental regulations and allow more construction.

In a coastal town, the local government installed Doppler radar. What is the main advantage of using Doppler radar?

It provides more accurate local weather predictions.

It can measure soil moisture accurately.

It monitors pollution levels and air quality.

It can measure wave heights and ocean currents.

A mountainous region experiences frequent landslides that damage roads in the area. Which engineering solution would best reduce road damage from landslides in this region?

building retaining walls along the roads

building levees along the roads

How can the study of natural hazard history inform urban planning and disaster preparedness for future events?

It helps identify vulnerable areas and plan for evacuation routes and shelters.

It provides insights into the cultural history of a region.

It guarantees complete protection from future natural hazards.

It has no relevance to urban planning or disaster preparedness.
