• divergence zone

• subduction zone

• lower zone

Located at the leading edge of a temperature drop off. Bring heavy thunderstorms, rain, and hail. Cool, fair weather is likely to follow.

• Cold Front

• Warm Front

• Stationary Front

• Occluded Front

What happens when the area in which you live tilts away from the sun?

• It is summer because the hemisphere is receiving direct sunlight.

• It is autumn because the hemisphere is experiencing shorter days.

• It is winter because the hemisphere is receiving indirect sunlight.

• It is spring because the hemisphere is warming up.

Why does the area around the equator stay the same temperature all year?

• The equator always receives direct sunlight.

• The area is covered in snow year-round.

• It is located far from the ocean.

• There are no seasons near the equator.

______ is a lens that is thicker on its edges and makes an object appear smaller?

• convex lens

• concave lens

• biconvex lens

• planar lens

What phase is the moon when in position #1?

• New Moon

• Full Moon

Which explains why the fork looks different under water?

• light is refracted at an angle

• the fork is made of a different material

• the water changes the color of the fork

• the fork is submerged in a different temperature

Why are there global winds?

• Because the sun heats the air at the equator more than anywhere else on earth.

• Because the earth's rotation causes the winds to shift direction.

• Because mountains block the flow of air in certain regions.

• Because ocean currents influence the temperature of the air.

A student claims that unbalanced forces acting on an object in motion can cause all of the following results: • The object could stop moving • The object could speed up • The object could change directions. The best evaluation of this student’s claims is that -

• all of the claims are true.

• only the claim about stopping is true.

• only the claim about changing directions is true.

• none of the claims are true.

If you know the speed and direction of an object, then you also know the  _______________________________ of the object.

• acceleration

• momentum

• velocity

• force
