The trees in a local park have been recently damaged by a swarm of beetles. The beetles have nested in the trees and eaten all the leaves. Which statement BEST explains why losing all of their leaves might kill the trees?
The trees will not be able to reproduce.
The trees will not be able to make food.
The trees will not be able to take in water.

up from the roots to the branches
down from the needles to the roots
Drought and fire are common during the hot summers in a grassland. Which adaptation would MOST likely give a grassland plant an advantage for survival during a hot summer?
stems that burn easily and grow slowly
large leaves that let water evaporate quickly
roots that store energy and help it grow back quickly
long stems that help it reach the sunlight above other plants
A root emerges from a seed because of the force of
water against the seed coat.
air pushing on the seed.
gravity on the seed.
soil pressing on the seed.

The Hawaiian Islands are of volcanic origin. Many scientists thought that each island had an individual magma plume or hot spot that erupted and formed the islands. Other scientists speculated that these islands were the result of a single hot spot. Which of these statements BEST supports the single hot spot hypothesis?
The Pacific tectonic plate is too small to have multiple hot spots.
The hot spot was large enough to form all the islands at the same time.
The volcanoes at hot spots have only one eruption which lasts for hundreds of years.
The locations of the volcanoes match the movement of the Pacific tectonic plate over a hot spot.
The Andes Mountains in South America formed when an oceanic plate shifted beneath a continental plate. Which other landforms are usually associated with this type of plate boundary?
barrier islands
ocean trenches
mid-ocean ridges
volcanic island arcs

deforestation
soil erosion
air pollution
plate tectonics

large fields of gravel
a tall mountain chain
large freshwater lakes linked by rivers
an uneven thickness of sedimentary layers
Scientists have studied convergent boundaries and the results of the collisions. Besides the fact that mountains occur at these boundaries, which other part of the rock cycle is MOST likely associated with these areas of convergence?
development of chemical rocks
development of extrusive rocks
development of layered rocks
development of folded rocks
What is necessary to use on a telescope in order to photograph solar flares and solar prominences?
a light filter

at sunrise
at sunset
during a full moon
during a quarter moon
Which statement about gravitational forces is correct?
A planet must be larger than Earth to exert a gravitational force.
The gravitational force of a planet is determined by its distance from the Sun.
Planets in the solar system are held in orbit by the gravitational force of the Sun.
The gravitational force on Earth is caused by the orbit of the Moon.
