A student has a magnet and some coins. What question could be answered by using only the magnet and the coins?
Which coin is most valuable?
How many coins equal one dollar?
Do any of the coins contain iron?
How do plants growing on a pond form fossil fuels?
The dead plants sink to the bottom and get buried by sediment for millions of years.
The dead plants get buried for millions of years and form fossils that attract carbon.
The dead plants sink to the bottom of the pond and are consumed by decomposers.
The dead plants produce carbon that is consumed by fish, which form fossils.
Plants prevent soil erosion by-
the process of photosynthesis
releasing water through transpiration
providing food for herbivores
holding dirt in place with their roots
Solid rock- weathering, erosion, and deposition -beach sand - ? - sandstone Which two processes complete this diagram
melting and cooling
erosion and compaction
compaction and cementation
evaporation and dissolving
All of these are related to the formation of oil or natural gas EXCEPT-
decomposed animals
decayed plants
sedimentary rocks
active volcanoes
Rocks will break into smaller pieces called
crust
fossils
plates
sediments
Which of the following is NOT a step in the production of coal?
Animals died and were covered by sediment
Plants died and were covered by sediment
Heat, pressure, and time change the peat to lignite
Time and pressure changes dead plant material to peat
How can layers of sediment under an ocean become rock over many years?
Sand in the sediment melts and turns into rock
The weight of the water compacts the sediment into rock
Changing water temperatures turn sand in the sediment into rock
Pollution caused by humans turns the sediment into rock
What is the process that causes clouds to form?
evaporation
condensation
precipitation
runoff
Evaporation if part of the water cycle. What happens for evaporation to occur?
A liquid changes to a gas
A gas changes to a liquid
A liquid changes to a solid
A gas changes to a solid
When water evaporates from the ocean, the amount of water in the air-
increases
decreases
stays the same
disappears
When water droplets condense, they form-
puddles
clouds
sunshine
runoff
Which of the following is a change caused by the Sun?
The Sun's energy is reflected off high mountains, causing cold temperatures
The Sun's energy heats Earth, contributing to evaporation
The Sun's energy causes lava to boil and erupt from volcanoes
The Sun's energy melts snow crystal n clouds, causing rain
In which container will the water evaporate most quickly?
5 degrees Celcius
21 degrees Celcius
30 degrees Celcius
11 degrees Celcius
Which statement best explains the formation of sedimentary rock?
When water seeps into rocks and freezes, it expands in size and breaks down large rocks to form sedimentary rock
When sediment is compressed and cemented together, sedimentary rock is formed
When heat and pressure are applied to the remains of prehistoric plants and trees that have been covered with soil, sedimentary rock is formed
When erosion of sediment occurs, sedimentary rock is formed
Fossil fuels formed over a long period of time because heat and pressure were applied to-
carbon filtered through limestone
organisms buried in the ground
bacteria on top of the muc
nitrogen mixed in the water
Since sedimentary rocks are formed in layers, the oldest rocks would most likely be found in the layer-
Farthest below the Earth's surface
Located near the surface of the Earth
With the darkest color of the sediments
Nearest an ocean or river
Which is most likely formed when particles of sand, clay, and sea shells are pressed together under layers of rock?
