Which example is a form of precipitation?
Dew
Fog
Frost
Hail
On Earth, what process generates most of the water vapor?
Condensation
Evaporation
Precipitation
Transpiration
What are formed when water vapor condenses?
Clouds
Mountains
Transpiration
Valleys
What percentage of Earth's fresh water that is not frozen
97%
1%
100%
3%
Why does groundwater usually require less treatment than surface water?
The layers of Earth protect groundwater from pollutants.
As groundwater sinks into the ground, the layers of rock act like a natural filter and remove pollutants from the water.
Surface water has more exposure to pollutants in runoff and the atmosphere.
all of the above

Igneous intrusive
Igneous extrusive
Metamorphic foliated
Metamorphic nonfoliated
This is a natural solid that is made of one or more minerals.
Mineral
Fossil
Rock
Sediment
This is the continuous process of rock changing from one type to another.
Igneous rocks
Sedimentary rocks
Metamorphic rocks
Rock Cycle
What type of rock might contain evidence of past life?
Sedimentary Rock
Igneous Rock
Metamorphic Rock
Which of the following lists the steps an igneous rock undergoes in order to become a sedimentary rock, in the correct order?
Deposition, erosion, melting, cooling
Erosion, weathering, eruption, cooling
Dissolving, deposition, cooling, fracture
Weathering, erosion, deposition, cementation
Limestone is a sedimentary rock. During the rock cycle, limestone is changed into marble, a metamorphic rock. The processes that act on limestone and change it into marble are
weather and erosion
heat and pressure
compacting and cementing
melting, cooling, and hardening
water, ice, wind or gravity
moves fragments of rock
and soil.
water, ice, wind or gravity
deposit rock sediments
and soil in a new place.
Earth’s crust into smaller
and smaller pieces.

When rain falls on an area of sandy soil, infiltration will usually be greater than surface runoff if the
steep slope
soil is saturated
rate of precipitation is low (light rain)
surface is impermeable
The amount of surface runoff increases as
porosity increases
permeability increases
the slope of the land decreases
the infiltration rate decreases
Infiltration means
Water entering the soil
how fast the water flows through the soil
space between the particles in the soil
loose earth material
What type of mixture is black ink?
heterogeneous mixture
homogeneous mixture
