In Utah’s Arches National Park we can see many interesting shapes like this one. Many different things helped to shape this arch: earthquakes, rivers, freezing water, and wind. Only one of these made the surface of the arch smooth and rounded. That was

a river running through the rocks.

Seismologists can study earthquakes by using seismographs, which measures the shaking/moving of the Earth's surface. What else can seismologists do to study earthquakes?

They can study the damage caused by earthquakes.

They can study how animals survive during earthquakes.

They can study how the ocean moves during earthquakes.

They can study weather patterns that cause earthquakes.

A microorganism that causes disease

A type of medicine that cures illnesses

A cell that helps the body fight infection

Hurricane Katrina brought devastation, homelessness, illness, and even death to the residents of New Orleans. Meteorologists, public information systems, and government officials have been working together to use the most advanced satellite weather technology to ensure that another "Katrina" situation will not happen anywhere in the United States. How will the satellite weather technology help prevent another hurricane disaster like Katrina?

It will improve predictions of potential hurricane pathways and allow for early evacuation.

It can be used to help divert destructive hurricanes out to sea.

It will help get the media in place early so we can watch the events on television.

Antibiotics are drugs that kill harmful bacteria that have infected the body. However, doctors are careful about how often they prescribe an antibiotic when treating a patient.
Example: A patient becomes infected with strep throat. Her doctor prescribes Antibiotic X, which successfully kills off the infection. Three months later, the patient becomes infected with strep throat again. Once again, the doctor prescribes Antibiotic X, and it is successful. The following year, the patient becomes infected with strep throat again, but this time, the bacteria are no longer harmed when she takes Antibiotic X.
Which of the following BEST describes a harmful aspect of bacteria highlighted by this example?

After repeated bacterial infections, patients are more likely to obey their doctors’ instructions.

Over time, harmful bacteria can develop a resistance to a specific antibiotic.

If a person has been infected with strep throat once, they will continue to be infected every three months.

Antibiotics are not useful when treating bacterial infections.
