When carbon is returned to the soil when dead plants decompose, the interaction is between which two spheres?
Hydrosphere and geosphere
Biosphere and atmosphere
Biosphere and Geosphere
Cryosphere and geosphere
Directions: The picture below shows a forest fire caused by a lighting strike. Use the picture to answer any questions that follow.
Which of the following is an interaction between the geosphere and biosphere after this forest fire?
Animals lose their plant-based homes and food sources.
Water in the river changes from the ash that settles in it.
Dead plants add a layer of nutrients into the soil.
Water in the river changes direction as trees fall and block the rivers' flow.
The most important weather phenomenon occurs in the ____________
Troposphere
Mesosphere
Stratosphere
Thermosphere
Which of the following statements refers to weather?
“It rains a lot in the spring in my city.”
“We are going south to Florida in January because it will be warmer.”
“There are many people who don’t believe there is a hole in the ozone layer”
“It’s very hot and sunny today. Let’s go to the beach.”
Which of the following is the best explanation for sea breezes and land breezes along Florida’s coasts?
Conduction currents of rising cool air and falling warm air.
Convection currents of rising, less-dense warm air and falling, denser cool air caused by differences in how quickly water and land absorb or lose the Sun’s heat.
The Gulf Stream current in the Atlantic.
Continental polar air masses moving in from the north.
The arrows in the picture below show several ways heat is transferred from the Sun as it strikes sand on the surface of a beach. Which arrow shows radiation?

How do ocean currents (gyres), such as the Gulf Stream, regulate the Earth’s temperature?
they increase the formation of sea ice at high latitudes
they remove heat from the equator and carry it towards the poles
they prevent evaporation at low latitudes
they remove heat from the western hemisphere and carry it toward the eastern hemisphere
Directions: The weather map below shows the movement of the polar jet stream on a day in January. The polar jet stream is a strong wind current that travels through Canada and the United States. Use the map to answer the questions that follow.
The average winter temperature in Dallas, Texas, is 19°C. Why would the temperature measure 5°C for Dallas, Texas, on this day in January?
The polar jet stream got faster and rose, bringing warm air up into the atmosphere, lowering the ground temperature.
The polar jet stream got slower and sank, bringing cold air down from the upper atmosphere, lowering the ground temperature.
The polar jet stream dipped east of Dallas, bringing cold air from the Pacific ocean.
The polar jet stream dipped south of Dallas, bringing cold air from the Arctic region.
The Picture below show a humpback whale, weighing a massive 140 million grams, and a pygmy shrew, weighing 4 grams.
Are these two vastly different organisms classified in the same domain or kingdom?
They are classified into different domain and kingdoms.
They are classified into different domains, but they are the same kingdom.
They are classified into the same domain and same kingdom
They are classified into the same domain, but they are in different kingdoms.
The table below gives both the common and scientific names of five New York State vertebrates.
Which two vertebrates are most closely related?
B and E
A and C
A and E
A and B
Which of the following identifies the levels of classification in correct order?
domain, kingdom, genus, species, phylum, class, order, family
genus, species, phylum, class, order, family, domain, kingdom
domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species

How are members of Domain Eukarya different from members of Domain Archaea and Domain Bacteria?
Members of Domain Archaea and Domain Bacteria are multicellular, and members of Domain Eukarya are usually single-celled organisms.
Members of Domain Eukarya have cells with membrane-bound organelles, and members of Domain Archaea and Domain Bacteria lack nuclei.
Members of Domain Bacteria and Domain Archaea have structures for making their own food, and members of Domain Eukarya lack these structures.
Members of Domain Eukarya are less complex than the members of Domain Archaea and Domain Bacteria.
A certain reptile species is a herbivore and exists only on an isolated island. Which of the following would most likely result in the extinction of the reptile species over a period of twenty thousand years?
The reptile species produces few offspring with no unique traits, and the vegetation changes quickly.
The reptile species produces many offspring with some unique traits, and the vegetation changes slowly.
The reptile species produces few offspring with some unique traits, and the vegetation remains constant.
The reptile species produces many offspring with many unique traits, and the vegetation remains constant.
Two species might have similar skeletal structures that have different functions. What do these types of structures suggest about the relationship between the two species?
Common structures with different functions suggest that the species do not share a common ancestor.
Common structures with different functions suggest that the species live in the same habitat.
Common structures with different functions suggest that the species share a common ancestor that also had a similar structure.
Common structures with different functions suggest that one of the species never learned how to use the structure properly.
The picture below shows the forelimbs of three different organisms: a bat, a bird, and a horse. All of these animals originally are descended from a common ancestor.
What is most likely responsible for the changes that occurred to form distinctly different organisms over millions of years?
The damage from basic injuries cause mutations to occur that passed onto offspring.
The organisms created new traits and species through selective breeding.
The introduction of humans allowed for artificial selection to take place.
The organisms' environments changed, and natural selection diversified each species.
Many of the animals that live in the northernmost regions of the Northern Hemisphere have white fur. How does having white fur make these animals more likely to survive in an Arctic environment?
White fur provides less water resistance to make them swim faster.
White fur absorbs more sunlight to help them keep warm.
White fur repels insects and parasites that live in the Arctic.
White fur helps them blend in with their surroundings.
Jane went for a walk on the farm. First, she saw a mosquito land on her arm and bite her. Second, she saw a hawk capture a mouse. Last, she noticed a bird riding on the back of a cow and eating the bugs off it. What is the order of the relationships Jane saw at the farm?
parasitism, competition, mutualism
competition, predation, parasitism
predation, competition, parasitism
parasitism, predation, mutualism
The image shows a food web in a Florida ecosystem, with arrows pointing to the consumer. A new organism moves into the ecosystem. Its major food source is the pine borer.
Which animals in the food web will form a competitive relationship with the new organism?
pine and salamander
fox and hawk
kinglet and fox
salamander and kinglet
The graph below shows the population of a group of rabbits in a restricted area studied over a period of 5 years. Which statement might explain why the population levels off as shown in the graph?
The resources in the area ran out.
Competition for resources limits the rabbit population.
Predators were introduced into the area.
The rabbits encountered a new disease.
