The picture below shows the polar ice caps in the Arctic sea. What will happen to the ice caps if the Sun's energy gets stronger?

The ice will become water, then the water will become vapor.

The ice will become much colder, causing clouds to form less rainfall.

The ice will become much harder, causing clouds to form more rainfall.

The ice will become vapor, then the vapor will become water.

Why is the ice melting in picture Y, but not picture X?

The Sun's energy is heating the ice and turning it into water.

The Sun's energy is heating the water and turning it into ice.

The clouds are heating the ice and turning it into water

take in heat energy from the Sun and turn into ice.

give off heat energy to the Sun and turn into a liquid.

give off heat energy to the Sun and turn into a gas.

The model below shows the water cycle. What is the purpose of this model?

to illustrate how water travels from Earth's surface into the atmosphere and back to Earth's surface again

to show how severe weather forms in the water cycle

to show how Earth's water formed billions of years ago

Wyatt takes a bottle of juice out of the refrigerator. He notices that water begins to form on the outside of the bottle. Which of the following explains why the water started to form?

Condensation forms on the bottle because the room is warmer than the bottle.

Evaporation occurs on the bottle because the room is cooler than the bottle.

The bottle is freezing because the room is cooler the bottle.

The bottle is melting because the room is warmer than the bottle.

Which of the following is the cup in the picture NOT modeling?

condensation caused by cooled water

What would happen if the lamp were removed from this model?

The water at the bottom of the aquarium would evaporate more slowly.

The clay in the mountain would harden more quickly.

The ice would continue to stay frozen in the cup and not change states.

The temperature of the aquarium would greatly increase.

What would NOT happen if another lamp were added to the model?

More clay would form and the mound would get higher.

The ice would melt more quickly because of the extra heat.

The temperature inside the aquarium would increase.

More water in the aquarium would turn into a gas more quickly.
