2.
Why are there high and low tides on Earth?
a)
They are due to changes in the moon's tilt on its axis.
b)
They are due to the gravitational pull between Earth and the moon.
c)
They are due to the magnetic force between Earth and the moon.
d)

3.
Which contributes to the Earth's ability to sustain life?
a)
The atmosphere allows all of sun's radiation to enter due to Earth's distance from the sun.
b)
The atmosphere prevents all space debris from reaching the surface due to the ozone layer.
c)
The atmosphere is extremely thin due to the temperatures of the sun.
d)
The atomsphere is breathable due to the unique mixture of gases.
4.
How does gravity support life on Earth?
a)
By forcing Earth to continuously spin on this axis, which contributes to day and night.
b)
By causing changes in the distance between Earth and the sun, which contributes to the seasons.
c)
By keeping water and gasses in the atmosphere close to Earth's surface which contributes to life processes.
d)
By preventing metors and comets from hitting Earth's surface, which protects living organisms from space fragments.
5.
Which is the basic composition of Earth's core?
a)

d)
Both the inner core and the outer core are liquid.
6.
Which best explains the movement of tectonic plates?
a)
They move several miles each year because of convection within the Earth.
b)
They move several centimeters each year because of convection within Earth.
c)

d)
They move several kilometers each year because of convection within Earth.
7.
Which bests explains the relationship between parent rock and soil composition?
a)
