During the water cycle, the sun's energy evaporates water from the surface of Earth. This water is the source of
respiration
transpiration
precipitation
ozone depletion
Groundwater is an important source of drinking water especially in Florida. The water is found in an underground reservoir called a /an
aquifer
hydrofer
tide pool
riparian zone
The two most abundant elements in ocean water, besides hydrogen and oxygen, are
salt and sodium
salt and chlorine
sodium and calcium
sodium and chlorine
The ocean labeled 1 in the map that is located between California and Japan is called the
Arctic Ocean
Indian Ocean
Pacific Ocean
Atlantic Ocean
Precipitation moves down into the soil and becomes groundwater. Groundwater that travels into the saturated soil zone becomes part of
an aquifer
the oceans
precipitation
surface run-off
Precipitation will increase in areas where there is
less transpiration and less run-off.
lower temperatures and more evaporation.
lower temperatures and less evaporation.
higher temperatures and more evaporation.
Once the sun's energy reaches the earth's atmosphere through radiation, it is circulated within the atmosphere and oceans through _____________.
conduction
convection
radiation
translocation
In the oceans the colder water sinks into deep basins, while warmer water stays closer to the surface. The water then moves around the ocean basin. This causes
tidal waves
wind drifts
ocean currents
plate tectonics
This is a picture of a large sheet of ice that moves very slowly across the land. This sheet of ice covers the land and is only found where temperatures are extremely cold. What is this large sheet of ice called?
glacier
lake
pond
sea
10) Louisa put a bowl of water and a bowl of sand in the sun. She put a thermometer in each bowl. Then she recorded the temperature at the start and after 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the sand had heated more than the water. Louisa’s experiment proved that
sunlight does pass through water.
sunlight heats liquids more than solids.
different materials heat up at different rates.
different materials absorb the same amount of heat.
In the picture of the ocean floor, letter C marks what landform?
rift zone
ocean trench
deep ocean basin
continental shelf
Choose a list of terms describing land forms found on the ocean floor.
continental shelf and slope, mid-ocean ridge, rift zone, trench, and the ocean basin
continental rise and shelf, continent, ridge, canyon, trench, and typhoon
tectonic plates, continental slope, island, mountain, reef, and the ocean barrier
continental shelf, ocean basin, mountain ridge, rise, and tidal wave
The part of the water cycle where water from the ocean is changed into vapor is driven by energy from
lunar tides
Earth's gravity
magnetism
Sun's heat
Consider the diagram of the water cycle. Assume we have a very cold winter with lots of snow. The mountain top is piled high with snow. Then it is spring. How will this impact the water cycle model?
Run off will decrease
Ground water will increase
Precipitation will increase
Transpiration will decrease
Describe the role of temperature change in cloud formation.
As water on Earth cools down, it condenses in the air and forms clouds.
As water on Earth cools down, it evaporates into the atmosphere and forms clouds.
Water on Earth heats up and evaporates into the atmosphere, then cools and condenses to form clouds.
Water on Earth heats up and evaporates into the atmosphere. Water vapor continues to heat up to form clouds.
Which graph BEST shows the true distribution of water on Earth?
This table shows sizes of Earth's oceans. Based on this table and the makeup of Earth's total water, which reasonable conclusion can be made?
Earth's seas contain more salt water than the oceans.
Earth's land has more surface area than Earth's oceans.
Earth's largest source of salt water is the Pacific Ocean.
The Pacific Ocean is larger than all other oceans combined.
Some ocean currents are caused by differences in the density of water from place to place around the globe. What two factors cause differences in ocean water density?
differences in water temperature and wind
differences in water temperature and phases of the moon
differences in the amount of dissolved salts and gravity
differences in water temperature and amount of dissolved salts
Which of these statements about waves is NOT true?
Waves can deposit sand along the shore.
Waves can create new islands over time.
Waves can move the sand along the coast.
Waves can wear away the land and expose a rocky shore.
The speed at which waves approach the shore depends on the shoreline features and the depth of the sea floor. When a wave reaches the shore, it releases a burst of energy that generates a current which runs parallel to the shoreline. What is this current called?
seawall current
seamount current
headland current
longshore current
