The pictures show a forest before and after deforestation, a process where many trees are cut down.
Which of the following best explains why trees are called a renewable resources?
If a tree is cut down, a new tree can be planted in its place.
If a tree is cut down, the animals that depended on the tree will help the tree grow back.
Only humans use trees, so tree populations will never fall below the number that are needed.
Only paper is made from trees, so the tree population will never run out.

It emits greenhouse gases.
It produces air pollutants.
It contaminates groundwater resources.
It results in the destruction of plant and animal habitats.
Oil, natural gas, and coal resources are being depleted by humans. Which statement represents a disadvantage of using energy from fossil fuels?
The formation of new fossil fuels will take a long time compared to how quickly it is now being consumed.
The formation of new fossil fuels will take a short time compared to how slowly it is now being consumed.
There is a surplus of renewable resources to use in place of fossil fuels.
There is a shortage of renewable resources to use in place of fossil fuels.
The sun's energy allows water to cycle through the Earth's atmosphere and Earth many times. What type of resources is this?
Renewable
Nonrenewable
Fossil Fuel
Nuclear
How do humans contribute to the increase in the average global temperatures?
Using bicycles as another mode of transportation
Burning fossil fuels
Recycling plastic bottles
Decreasing deforestation
Which process will increase the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Decrease in the decay of plant and animal matter
Decrease in respiration
Increase in photosynthesis
Increase in factory emissions
How can deforestation cause problems leading to global warming?
Plants absorb a significant amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Plants absorb a significant amount of toxins in the soil
Plants remove a significant amount of oxygen from the atmosphere
Plants reduce the amount of water available in the soil
How do the conditions for a tornado differ from the conditions for a hurricane?
Tornadoes never form when there is rain, while hurricanes always form with rain.
Tornadoes form under low pressure, while hurricanes form under high pressure
Tornadoes form in a stable atmosphere, while hurricanes form in an unstable atmosphere
Tornadoes form over land, while hurricanes form over bodies of water
What type of system helps to weaken a hurricane or steer it away?
Low pressure system
High pressure system
Cold front
Stationary front
How could meteorologist use the ocean temperature data collected by weather buoys?
To predict an earthquake
To predict the strength of a hurricane
To predict the population of fish in a specific area
To predict the wave height due to winds
What could be used to help reduce lives loss due to a volcanic eruption?
Use seismographs to help predict a volcanic eruptions
Build houses with no vents or windows to avoid contact with volcanic gas or ash
Put isolation bearings in buildings to help them retain their shape
Use a monitor to measure the air quality
What is something we could put in place to help reduce the loss of lives in the event of an earthquake?
Build new buildings on higher grounds
Modify old buildings so they are more flexible
Force people to move from areas prone to earthquakes
Build smaller buildings
Why are isolation bearings installed in the base of buildings in areas prone to earthquakes?
It helps predict an earthquake before it occurs
It helps prevent a building from be affected by an earthquake
It helps to maintain the buildings shape and reduce loss of life
It helps reduce the cost of the building
Based on this map, the epicenter of the earthquake is at which location?
1
2
3
4
Tsunamis are formed due to what?
Hurricane
Tornado
Underwater earthquake
Volcanic eruption
What happens to a hurricane that moves over land or cool ocean water?
it will upgrade its category
it will get weaker
it will get stronger
it will morph into a typhoon
A mountain area in the Pacific Northwest has many landslides. What most likely causes these rocks and soils to erode?
tree roots
gravity and rainfall
glaciers
frequent volcanic eruptions
A mountain range experiencing landslides. What are some things that could be done to reduce landslides in this area?
Planting trees in the open areas on the mountain range
Placing screens or fencing along the rocky areas near the roads and neighborhoods
Both planting vegetation and screens could help reduce landslides
Neither of these would reduce landslides because landslides cannot be prevented.
What happens to a wave when it travels through a different medium such as a wave traveling from air to water?
The speed of the wave changes
The wave will stop moving
The speed of the wave will stay the same
The wave will scatter
An object absorbed all colors of white light except red light which is reflected. What color is the object?
Red
Blue
White
Black
These two waves are sound waves traveling at the same speed. Which wave would produce a louder sound?
Wave 1
Wave 2
Neither wave
Both waves
A light wave strikes the surface of a mirror. Which letter represents the reflected ray?
A
B
C
D
Soft materials such as carpet or couches can hold transported sound waves which reduces the loudness of a sound. Which term is describing what is happening to the sound wave?
Absoprtion
Compression
Reflection
Diffraction
Based on the diagram, what happened to this sound wave?
Some of the sound wave's energy was absorbed
All of the sound wave's energy was reflected
None of the sound wave's energy was transmitted
The sound wave's energy was refracted
Arrange the waves in order from increasing frequency.
1, 2, 3, 4
3, 1, 2, 4

A person produces a sound wave that is directed towards and object. The image shows what happens to the sound wave once it touches the object. What is true about sound waves?
The sound wave is absorbed by the object and increases the volume
The sound wave is refracted by the object and changes the wave's direction
The sound wave is reflected by the object and causes an echo
The sound wave is transmitted by the object and reduces the volume
Which option correctly compares the waves?
Both waves are light waves.
Both waves are sound waves.
Wave X is a light wave, and Wave Y is a sound wave.
Wave X is a sound wave, and Wave Y is a light wave.
Scientist argue that the amount of carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere is increasing rapidly, which is leading to global warming on a scale that has never been measured in Earth's history. Scientists conclude that countries must decrease the production of carbon dioxide to slow the heating of Earth. Which statement supports the scientists' conclusion?
Carbon dioxide is released during combustion accompanied by heat
Carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere that is radiated by Earth
Carbon dioxide is released during respiration, and the human population is significantly increasing
Carbon dioxide disperses moisture in the atmosphere, and this moisture increases global temperatures
In 2016, nonrenewable resources accounted for 81% of the energy consumed in the United States. Which action will help in the conservation of nonrenewable resources?
