If the student in the above experiment expects soil retain most of the water, what will most likely be the results?
Most of the water will leak out of the can into the graduated cylinder.
A small amount of the water will leak out of the can into the graduated cylinder.
Most of the soil will leak out of the can into the graduated cylinder.
None of the water will leak out of the can into the graduated cylinder.
The weather map shows the passage of a cold front. According to the information on the maps, the cold front seems to be moving-
from areas of higher temperatures
from the west to the east
away from the Gulf of Mexico
toward the Rocky Mountains
Study the picture below. Based on the information given on the weather map, what kind of weather system is over most of Texas?
Cold front
High Pressure
Warm front
Low Pressure
The greatest amount of moisture would probably be contained in the air mass from-
Western Canada.
Eastern Canada.
Gulf of Mexico.
Mexico.
Imagine the weather map above shows today's conditions. What is most likely to happen to the temperature in Houston tomorrow?
The temperature will increase in Houston tomorrow.
The temperature will decrease in Houston tomorrow.
The temperature will increase and then decrease in Houston tomorrow.
The temperature will decrease and then increase in Houston tomorrow.
The weather map above shows the fronts and high temperature near El Paso, TX. What will the high temperature most likely be in El Paso in three days?
24ºC
28ºC
32ºC
38ºC
Sediments can be eroded and deposited by all of the following EXCEPT-
Water
Lava
Ice
Wind
The diagram below shows an area of land that changed over hundreds of years.Refer to the images shown above. Which process changed the shape of the rock layers over time?
Deposition
Erosion
Evaporation
Faulting
Rain falls on a rock and then freezes. Then it thaws. This process is repeated often for many years. Finally, the rock is split into several smaller pieces. What is this process called?
Erosion
Weathering
Deposition
None of the above
The Mississippi River Delta is one of the world's largest deltas. How is this new land created?
Ocean waves cause sand and rocks to wash up on the shore around the mouth of the river
Wind blows lots of dirt, sand, and topsoil to the mouth of the river
The river deposits sediment that it picks up on its journey to the mouth of the river
Volcanoes erupt and the lava flows until it reaches the mouth of the river
Based on the information provided, which soil sample is most likely the best choice for growing black beans
Soil 1
Soil 2
Soil 3
Soil 4
In many parts of Texas, the soil forms a smooth thick mud when it rains. The water is more likely to runoff than absorb into the ground due to the lack of drainage through the soil.
The soil type is most likely-
Clay
Silt
Loam
Sand
A class observed several soil samples. One sample was light-colored and had large grains that felt rough and scratchy. Water drained easily through this soil.Which of the following plants would grow best in this soil?
Cactus
Ferns
Grass
Lettuce
While observing soil samples, students noticed that water poured easily through sand, but it did not easily pour through the clay soil. What caused the clay soil to retain more water than the sand?
The clay is a darker color than the sand
Plants that grow in clay soil do not need a lot of water
Clay soil has large particles that keep water from flowing through
The soil particles in clay are small and packed closely together
In some areas of Texas, solid layers of rock called bedrock are beneath a thin layer of soil.
Trees need to grow long, deep roots to get lots of water and hold the tree in place. Based on the information above, are the areas in Texas with bedrock beneath the soil a good place for trees to grow?
Trees will grow well with bedrock because the roots can wrap around the rock.
Trees will not grow well with bedrock because the roots will not grow deep.
Trees will grow well with bedrock because the roots can grow sideways instead of down.
Trees will not grow well because the roots will break the rock.
After the unit on soils, the students were given several types of plants to plant in different containers: a cactus that needs soil that drains well, a fern that needs soil that stays wet easily, and an aster that can tolerate extreme dry and wet. They were also given clay, loam, and sand to use with the plants.
What type of soil will best support each type of plant?
Palo Duro Canyon is a state park located in West Texas. Which process created this land formation?
weathering
erosion
deposition
reclamation
The images below show the high and low temperatures for different cities in Texas on the same day.

Which statement is a possible explanation for what has happened in this picture?
Over time the force of the wind pushed the rock down the side of the mountain.
Over time rain falling, freezing, then thawing split the rock into pieces.
Nothing happened over time, the rock always looked this way.
None of the statements above are correct.
As this photograph shows, glaciers not only push rocks and dirt in front, but also to its sides. These new landforms are called moraines. What is the term for the dropping off and leaving of rocks and dirt by rivers of ice?
erosion
deposition
weathering
recycling
