A student was studying the ocean floor topography and began to question how pressure and temperature would differ at each feature. What conclusions can she draw about ocean floor features F and G?
Feature F is an ocean trench, the shallowest part of the ocean floor, while Feature G is a continental shelf, the deepest part of the ocean, which has more pressure than the ocean trench because there are more mater molecules above it and a lower temperature because the sun cannot penetrate its deep waters to warm it.

Olaf is investigating the formation of the universe. Two theories are suggested by his friends. Olaf’s friend Esme suggests that the universe has always existed in an unchanging state. His other friend, Carmalita, said that Esme is WRONG and that the universe began in a very small and dense area that expanded rapidly, and still continues to expand. Who is correct: Esme or Carmalita?
Esme is correct as the theory she describes is the steady state theory, which is the most accurate theory describing the formation of the universe.
Esme is correct as the theory she describes is the Big Bang theory, which is the most accurate theory describing the formation of the universe.
Carmalita is correct as the theory she describes is the Big Bang theory is the most accurate theory describing the formation of the universe.

Referred to the diagram above of a student lab set up of the water cycle. And this experiment, the total amount of water inside the container is measured at the beginning and then again after a full cycle has occurred. What are the following best predict the outcome of the experiment and explains why?
The beginning amount of water in the container would be less than the ending amount of water in the container because the water evaporated, decreasing the water level.
The beginning amount of water in the container would be more than the ending amount of water in the container because the process of condensation increases the water level.
The beginning and ending amounts of water in the container would be equal because the water that was evaporated increased the water level but then came back as precipitation which decreased the water level again.
The beginning and ending amounts of water in the container would be equal because the water that was evaporated decreased the water level but then came back as precipitation which increased the water level again.

Spring is warmer than winter in the Northern Hemisphere because during spring the Northern Hemisphere gets more direct sunlight. Which explanation explains why the Northern Hemisphere gets more direct sunlight in the spring?
The Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun during the spring and away from the sun during winter.
the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun so the earth is closer to the sun.
the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun so the days are shorter.
the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun during the spring and away from the sun during winter.
The model above shows the moon at four different positions as it revolves around the Earth. Position A occurred April 1,2017. Students were asked about to predict which position and moon phase would be viewed on April 8, 2017. Which student had had the correct prediction and supported it with correct justification?
Student 1: The moon be at position 8, a first quarter moon, because the moon revolves counter clockwise around the earth about once every 28 days.
Student 2: The moon would be at position B, a third quarter moon, because the moon revolves counter clockwise around the earth about once every seven days.
Student three: The moon would be in position three, a full moon, because the mom revolves clockwise around the earth every 28 days.
The diagram below shows a classroom using a model they developed to investigate the unequal heating of earths and it’s effect on global winds. The students observed that the temperature is increased at a faster rate than the temperature of the area B because area A received rays that were more perpendicular to the surface.
The model currently shows that more solar energy is absorbed at Earth’s equator then at its poles. The equatorial regions would be even hotter than they are if it were not for winds that move heat toward the poles how would you revise this model to demonstrate the Coriolis effect.

Change the position of the lights.
Use a weather map instead of a globe.

Although the distance between Earth and the Sun varies slightly throughout the path of Earth’s orbit, it has little impact on seasonal changes. What has the most impact on the seasonal changes that create variations in daylight and temperature?
Earth’s axial tilt and relation of the axis to the sun has the most impact on seasonal changes.
The alignment of the moon, earth, and sun has the most impact on seasonal changes.
Earth’s axial tilt changes direction as it orbits the sun which has the most impact on seasonal changes.
The length of the Sun’s orbit around the Earth has the most impact on seasonal changes.

Josie lives in the mid-west. She often experiences tornados, more than when she lives in the eastern areas. What is the reason mid-western areas experience tornados?
Warm dry air from Canada meets cool dry air from the Gulf of Mexico, which therefore causes the formation of many tornadoes in the mid-west.
Cold dry air from Canada meets Cold moist air from the North Pacific Ocean, which therefore causes the formation of many tornadoes in the mid-west.
Since the mid-west is in the middle of the country, they experience both warm and cold weather patterns, therefore causing the formation of tornadoes in the mid-west.
Cold dry air from Canada meets warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico, therefore causing the formation of tornadoes in the mid-west.

Angelica is wondering where asteroids came from. She decides to ask her sister Eliza what she thinks. Eliza suggests that asteroids formed from the leftover material from explosions of stars. Peggy, Angelica’s second sister, says that asteroids formed from the leftover material from the formation of the solar system. Who is correct and why?
Peggy is correct because when the Big Bang occurred, certain material that was leftover, became what we now call asteroids.
Eliza is correct because every time a sun explodes the leftover material cools and forms what we now call asteroids.
