Unit 5.10

Which best describes the events that occurred in the picture?

• Layer 6 was formed, and the other layers slowly built up below it over time

• Layer 4 was formed, and the other layers slowly built up on top of and below it over time

• Layer 1 was formed, and the other layers slowly built up on top of it over time

• The layers with the largest fossils formed first, and the other layers slowly built up around them

Which of the following is NOT a way the sun and ocean affect the weather?

• The ocean absorbs large quantities of heat from the sun

• Water from the ocean slowly releases stored energy from the sun

• Ocean currents move heat from the sun from the equator to the poles

• The surface of the ocean reflects heat from the sun back into the atmosphere

What was the environment like that produced the materials that make up fossil fuels?

• When the organisms that made fossil fuels were alive, it was a water environment

• When the organisms that made fossil fuels were alive, it was a desert environment

• When the organisms that made fossil fuels were alive, it was a forest environment

• When the organisms that made fossil fuels were alive, it was a frozen environment

Under what conditions were dead organisms changed into fossil fuels over time?

• Pressure from Earth's core formed fossil fuels over millions of years

• Sedimentary rock cemented around fossils, creating fossil fuels within a few hundred years

• Pressure from layers of sedimentary rock on dead organisms formed fossil fuels over millions of years

• Dead organisms were not required to make fossil fuels

• Ice that carries sediment near a large field of dunes near an ocean.

• A river of fast moving water carrying sediment and a slow or not moving body of water.

Which step comes first in fossil fuel formation?

• Plant and animal remains get covered by more and more layers of silt and sand

• Layers of matter under high heat and pressure become gas

• Small plants and animals die and are buried on the ocean floor

Which step comes second in fossil fuel formation?

• Plant and animal remains get covered by more and more layers of silt and sand

• Layers of matter under high heat and pressure become gas

• Small plants and animals die and are buried on the ocean floor

Which step comes third in fossil fuel formation?

• Plant and animal remains get covered by more and more layers of silt and sand

• Layers of matter are under high heat and pressure and become gas

• Small plants and animals die and are buried on the ocean floor

What causes sand dunes?

• Fast moving currents of wind

• Fast flowing water

• Underground earthquakes

• Landslides

How do sand dunes pile up?

• Desert animals cause changes in the landscape by traveling across it

• Sand particles are transported and carried far away

• Sand particles are dropped and deposited in layers to make a mound of sand

• Sand particles are carried by the wind to a river
