  map is covered by saltwater.

• Over 50% of the piece of Earth shown on this

  map is covered by land.

Which statement best explains how the sun and the ocean interact to form a cumulonimbus cloud?

• Heat from the sun warms the ocean, causing water to evaporate. The water vapor then condenses to form a cumulonimbus cloud.

• Heat from the sun causes clouds in the area to gather over the ocean and form one large cumulonimbus cloud.

• Light from the sun shines on the ocean, causing water vapor to condense. The water then evaporates to form a cumulonimbus cloud.

• Light from the sun causes ocean water to reflect water vapor into the air and gather over the ocean into a cumulonimbus cloud.

How does the water cycle show how the hydrosphere and the atmosphere interact?

• Plants soak up water from the ground.

• Air evaporates to form water clouds.

• Water filters through the soil into the ground water.

• Heat and wind causes water in the pond to evaporate into thin air.

A student created a circle graph to show the appropriate area of Earth covered by fresh water, land, and oceans.

Based on the graph, which estimate best describes the areas of Earth’s surface covered with salt water and fresh water?

• 69% salt water and 2% fresh water

• 29% salt water and 69% fresh water

• 2% salt water and 29% fresh water

• 69% salt water and 29% fresh water

Pablo poured 2 cups of water in an ice tray two weeks ago and placed it in the freezer. He took the ice cube tray out of the freezer yesterday and accidentally left it on the table for a few hours. This made all of the ice melt. Pablo measured the amount of water that came from the melted ice. Which of the following measurements of the melted ice is most accurate, given what you know about matter changing?

• 5 cups

• 8 cups

• 2 cups

• 6 cups

In an investigation hot water is poured into a clear plastic cup. Another clear plastic cup is placed upside down over the cup of hot water. Which of these is likely to occur during the next three minutes?

• The hot water will become hotter because air and heat are trapped in the top cup.

• The water level will rise in the bottom cup because of evaporation.

• Water droplets will form on the inside of the top cup as the water vapor cools.

• Water from the bottom cup will become solid as the hot water cools.
