1. Why is the inner core solid and the outer core liquid?
a. The outer core is hotter than the inner core which makes the
material liquid.
b. The pressure increases as you travel into the inner core which causes it to be solid even though it is hotter.
c. The inner core is hotter, so it is liquid.

Which sphere was affected in the transformation?
geosphere: because the cryosphere scraped rock away as it slowly moved
geosphere: because the hydrosphere scraped rock away as it slowly moved
biosphere: because the hydrosphere flooded the valley eliminating trees and plants
biosphere: because the cryosphere flooded the valley eliminating trees and plants
According to the diagram, if you are standing on the land during the day what type of breeze would you experience?
a breeze moving from the sea to the land because the sea is cooler than the land
a breeze moving from the land to the sea because the land is cooler than the sea
a breeze moving from the sea to the land because the land is cooler than the sea
a breeze coming from the land and the sea because the temperatures are the same
Tonya noticed a puddle outside her front door. She saw that the puddle got smaller every day, until the 3rd day when it was completely gone. The next week, she noticed the puddle again. This time the puddle was gone the very next day. Since the sun was out the second week but not the first week, Tonya hypothesized that the heat from the sun was the reason for the water evaporating at a faster rate. If she were to set up two containers with equal amounts of water, what would be the best way for Tonya to test her hypothesis
By placing one container under a lamp and the other not under a lamp, she should then time how long each takes to evaporate.
By placing one under a lamp that has a fan and one not under the lamp or fan, she should then time how long it takes to evaporate.
By placing one outside on a sunny day, she should then see how long it takes for it to evaporate. Additionally, she should then wait until there is another sunny day and put the other container outside, then see how long it takes to evaporate
By placing one in the living room because that is where the most sun appears in the house and place the other one in the kitchen because there is less light and also a fan that makes it cooler. She could then time how long each takes to evaporate
How would this Northern flowing stream affect the north eastern coast?
The Gulf Stream would impact the northern beaches by bringing cooler water and more humidity.

The Law of Universal Gravitation states that:
every object in the universe attracts every other object. This attraction is called gravity which is a force that rounds the planets and attracts objects to keep them in orbit
an object in motion stays in motion until an opposing force acts upon it. This force is inertia which is a force that rounds planets and attracts objects to keep them in orbit
an object that is motion stays in motion until an opposing force acts upon it. This force is gravity which is a force that rounds planets and attracts objects to keep them in orbit.
every object in the universe attracts every other object. This attraction is called inertia which is a force that rounds planets and attracts objects to keep them in orbit.
Which model, the heliocentric or geocentric, do we accept to be accurate?
geocentric model because the Sun is in the center
heliocentric model because the sun is in the center
heliocentric because the earth is in the center
geocentric because the earth is in the center
Is the earth or the sun in the center of our solar system?
Sun
Earth
What causes seasons?
The Earth's tilt is at a constant angle
the distance between the earth and the sun
the angle of earth's tilt changes with seasons
Why would your towel at the beach be covered in water later in the day if you were sitting close to the water when you first got there?
The water experiences high and low tides throughout the day due to the Moon's gravitational attraction and the rotation of Earth on its axis.
The water experiences high and low tide throughout the day due to the tilt of the earth
The water experiences high and low tides due to the position of the Earth and the Sun
George is asked if the phases of the moon are a form of a lunar eclipse. He explains that the phases of the moon are a shadow of the earth on the face of the moon. A lunar eclipse is also a shadow of the earth on the face of the moon. Therefore the phases of the moon are just partial eclipses. How would you correct George’s misconception of this concept
The moon has a dark side and a light side. We see the phases of the moon because we are seeing a changing portion of the lighted side and the dark side at the same time. An eclipse is when the earth is directly between the sun and moon during a full moon and the earth’s shadow darkens the moon.
The moon orbits around the earth. At the same time the earth is revolving around the sun. Because of this motion we observe only parts of the moon reflecting the sun’s light at a time. An eclipse is when the earth is directly between the sun and moon during a full moon and the earth’s shadow darkens the moon.
The moon orbits around the earth and the earth orbits around the sun. Because both objects are revolving at the same time we observe only parts of the moons reflective surface at any time. An eclipse is when the moon is directly between the sun and earth during a full moon and the earth’s shadow darkens the moon.
The moon does not rotate around its axis. We see the phases of the moon because the same side of the moon is always facing the sun. When the earth rotates on its axis we sometimes see the side of the moon. An eclipse is when the moon is directly between the sun and earth during a full moon and the earth’s shadow darkens the moon.
Sarah notices that the moon looks different during different times of the month. She decides to go outside every night and sketch a diagram of the moon and how it looks throughout the month. Sarah also decides to indicate where stars and planets are in relation to the moon. Which of the following statements accurately describes this scenario?
This scenario is an investigation because Sarah is not manipulating variables
This scenario is an experiment because Sarah is not manipulating variables
This scenario is an investigation because Sarah is manipulating variables.
This scenario is an experiment because Sarah is manipulating variables
Why do the planets stay in orbit?
the planets stay in orbit because of the pull of gravity
the planets stay in orbit because the sun have a magnetic attraction
Why are planets round?
planets are rounded because the force of gravity causes them to be round
planets are round because other objects continuously hit them
