What conditions are necessary for heat conduction to occur between two objects?
The objects must be surrounded by air or water.
Two objects at different temperatures are directly touching one another.
Two objects at different temperatures are located close to one another.

conduction
Jackie places a cup of cold water on a counter in a warm room. After a short time, she notices that the water in the cup is no longer cold. Which best explains why the water in the cup is no longer cold?
The coldness of the water transferred to the air, making the water in the cup warmer.
The coldness of the water was conducted to the cup, making the water in the cup warmer.
The heat from the air transferred to the water in the cup, making the water in the cup warmer.
The heat from the air caused the cold water in the cup to condense, making the water warmer.
Which effect do rapidly cooling temperatures have on the water cycle?
Water droplets evaporate into vapor.
Water vapor condenses into droplets.
Condensation evaporates into precipitation.
Precipitation condenses into water droplets.

Which is most responsible for guiding the movement of different air masses across the United States?
trade winds
jet stream

easterly winds
Which best describes why winds at the beach change direction between day and night?
because the temperatures over land and over water change
because warm air over land sinks and stays in place over land
because cool air rises and is replaced by warm air from the ocean
because cool air sinks and stays in place over land
Why is the digestive system so important for the human body?
It circulates blood to all of the organs.
It moves oxygen through the lungs and into the blood.

It breaks food into nutrients and moves the nutrients into the blood.
How does the circulatory system work with the digestive system?
Blood is used to build muscle strength.
Food is broken down in the bloodstream.
Blood carries nutrients throughout the body.
Food waste is filtered by the heart and blood vessels.
