Units 1-2 Test Review

The diagram above illustrates an important scientific theory. What does this image support?

• Earth moves around the sun in distinct patterns.

• There is little difference in the climatic patterns found on most continents.

• Earth's continents are attached to plates that move a few centimeters each year.

• Glaciation is the process affecting large areas of ice moving or expanding.

Which is the best example of weathering?

• The cracking of rocks caused by freezing and melting of water

• The transportation of sediment in a stream

• The condensation of water vapor into droplets in clouds

• The formation of a sandbar along the side of a stream

Which of the following is the most likely result of the movement of two tectonic plates at a convergent boundary?

• Formation of a mid-ocean ridge

• Creation of a subduction zone

• Expansion of a continental rift valley

• Development of a transform fault line

Which of the following best describes the impact of elevation on climate?

• Higher elevations typically have warmer temperatures due to thinner air.

• Higher elevations experience cooler temperatures due to reduced atmospheric pressure.

• Higher elevations receive more direct sunlight, leading to higher temperatures.

• Higher elevations are more prone to humidity and precipitation.

Which two factors have the greatest effect on climate?

• Longitude and vegetation

• Latitude and distance from water

• Soil type and altitude

• Mountain barriers and amount of arable land

All of the measures indicated below are steps taken by builders in earthquake zones.

These measures show that-

Steel reinforcements are embedded in a home's joints to make them stronger.

Skyscrapers use special lightweight materials that sway when stressed but do not break.

Several buildings are rigidly tied together to allow them to behave as a single mass.

• people have the ability to prevent earthquakes

• humans can adapt to different challenges in the physical environment

• little can be done to minimize the effects of earthquakes

• structural engineering has been unable to respond to natural threats.
