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

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

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

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

Which statement best describes the processes of weathering and erosion?

• F Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for the breakdown of any type ofrock into smaller particles and the carrying away of the loose sediments.

• G Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for depositing loose sediments on the bottom of the ocean, forming layers of sediment.

• H Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for the amount of water in a river that transports sediments to the sea.

• J Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for the transportation, deposition, and compaction of loose sediments on the seafloor.

A group of students is performing an investigation to measure how much liquid water is produced from a 10 L sample of snow. What must occur in order for the students to perform this investigation?

• The sample must be kept in a freezer.

• The temperature of the sample must change.

• The investigation must be performed outside.

• The physical state of the sample must remain the same.
