It is winter in the southern hemisphere due to the tilt of Earth’s axis.

Earth has reached its closest point to the sun due to its revolution.

How does a straight alignment between Earth, the sun, and the moon impact the tides on Earth?

It produces the greatest change in high and low tides.

It produces the least change in high and low tides.

Which describes the difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fission splits a heavier nucleus into smaller nuclei, and nuclear fusion is the process that produces the radiant energy of stars.

Nuclear fission is the process that produces the radiant energy of stars, and nuclear fusion splits a heavier nucleus into smaller nuclei.

Nuclear fission produces the energy in the core of Earth, and nuclear fusion produces energy in nuclear power plants.

Nuclear fission produces energy in nuclear power plants, and nuclear fusion produces the energy in the core of Earth.

How does heat from the sun get to Earth?

by radiation, using electromagnetic waves to transfer the heat

by convection, using liquids and gases to transfer the heat

by conduction, using solids to transfer the heat

by absorption, using primary waves to transfer the heat

Why do green plants require solar energy?

to absorb nitrogen into their roots

to release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

to decompose the dead or decaying remains of animals

In the Northern Hemisphere, planetary winds are deflected to the right due to the

uneven heating of Earth’s surface

Which structure can form as a result of a divergent plate boundary?

a mid-ocean ridge, due to the separation of two plates

a continental volcanic arc, due to the collision of two plates

a continental mountain, due to the collision of two plates

an ocean trench, due to the separation of two plates

Which would produce the most severe earthquake damage along the surface of Earth?

an earthquake with a shallow focus and a magnitude of 4.5

an earthquake with a deep focus and a magnitude of 2.5

an earthquake with a shallow focus and a magnitude of 2.5

an earthquake with a deep focus and a magnitude of 4.5

How could pesticides get into lakes and streams?

it could be sprayed too close to a stream

rain could wash pesticides into a stream

Which statement is true about streamside vegetation?

roots help stabilize shorelines, preventing erosion

trees provide shade, which makes water too cold for most animals

leaves that fall into the water pollute the stream

plants along a stream steal oxygen from the animals

Where does the energy to move earth's plates come from?

heat energy from chemical reactions in the crust

How do radio waves compare to visible light?

radio waves have longer wavelengths than visible light

radio waves have shorter wavelengths than visible lights

radio waves travel faster than visible light

radio waves travel slower than visible light

Which best describes how metamorphic rock is formed?

rocks change into new types of rock due to heat and pressure

rock melts into magma, then cools

water evaporates, leaving behind small particles of rock

pieces of rock, plants, and other materials get pressed together, forming layers

Warm air rises above cool air because

warm air is less dense than cool air

warm air is more dense than cool air

warm air has the same density as cool air

warm air has more weight than cool air

Why would a person be cooler on a hot sunny day wearing a light colored t-shirt and shorts than in a dark colored t-shirt and shorts made of the same material?

dark colors absorb more radiation from the Sun

dark colors reflect more radiation from the Sun

solar radiation avoids light colored objects

What causes a solar eclipse?

The Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth

The Earth passes between the Moon and the Sun

The Sun passes between the Moon and the Earth

Another planet passes between the Sun and the Earth
