Which characteristic does NOT belong in the center of the diagram?
Burned to release energy
Created by time and pressure
Formed over a long period of time
Buried by layers of sediment
A group of students explores the steps required for sedimentation of rocks. They record the results of the process in the table.
Which of these best completes the table?
Melting
Transporting
Compacting
Fragmenting
The Lztuzu Beach is formed by a delta in Turkey. The beach forms a natural barrier between the fresh water emptying from the Dalyan River and the salty water of the Mediterranean Sea. What process forms a Delta?
Sediments carried in the river currents are deposited where the river slows down to meet a larger body of water. (this would be deposition)
Manmade particles are deposited in a specific location to create a beach.
Sediments carried by the sea are deposited when the sea slows down to meet a river.
Not here
Milford Sound is located in a mountainous region of New Zealand.
What most likely formed the U-shaped valley located in Milford Sound?
Fast moving river
Slow moving glacier
Fast moving avalanche
Slow, steady Wind
All of these statements describe weather rather than climate EXCEPT --
air pressure is higher today than it was yesterday
Annual average temperature has steadily increased over the last 50 years
The amount of precipitation today was 2 inches.
lightning strikes increase as a storm approaches.
Some scientists study patterns of change in temperature, precipitation, humidity and air pressure. Time is spent collecting data to analyze long term patterns as well as to make predictions of future conditions for the local area. Which of the following are these scientists investigating to determine average patterns, such as those mentioned, over a long period of time?
Climate
temperature changes
Weather
hurricanes
Which of the following best describes one way the sun interacts with the ocean in the water cycle?
The sun reflects off the ocean, causing the development of waves
The ocean absorbs the heat from the sun, which influences marine life
The sun heats the water in the ocean, creating waves
The sun heats the water in the ocean, causing the water to evaporate
A water purifier removes contaminants, chemicals and solids from water. How is the function of Earth's oceans similar to a water purifier?
Earth's oceans create new water on a daily basis
Water evaporates from the oceans, leaving behind any salt or other pollutants to provide a supply of renewable, fresh water.
Water, salt and pollutants evaporate from the ocean and are purified during the process of condensation.
All of the above
A person standing in Alabama notices the sun is rising. At the same moment, a person in Japan sees that the sun has just set. Which statement correctly describes how it can be sunrise and sunset at the same moment?
The sun's rotation around Earth enables part of the Earth to have sunlight while the other part is in darkness
The sun has moved from one location to the other during the course of a day.
Earth's rotation on its axis enables part of Earth to have sunlight while the other part is in darkness.
Earth has circled around the sun during the course of a day.
Which pathway results in the sun's apparent movement across the sky?
W
X
Y
Z
A student classifies characteristics of Earth and moon.
Which of the following could be classified as a characteristic for the Earth but could NOT be classified as a characteristic of the moon?
Craters formed from meteor impact
Very thin atmosphere
Surface changed by weathering and erosion
Obtains light from the sun
Which physical characteristic is a similarity between the sun and moon?
Both objects reflect light
Both objects produce their own light
Both objects have rocky surface features
Both objects are spherical in shape
Students examine five different soil samples. How are the properties of gravel different from the properties of silt?
Gravel has a smoother texture and larger sized particles when compared to the uneven texture and smaller sized particles in silt.
Gravel has an uneven texture and larger sized particles when compared to the powdery texture and smaller sized particles in silt.
Gravel has an uneven texture and smaller sized particles when compared to the powdery texture and larger sized particles in silt.
Gravel has smoother texture and smaller sized particles when compared tothe uneven texture and larger sized particles in silt.

Based on the results shown in the table, which soil retains the most water?
Soil W
Soil X
Soil Y
Soil Z
Students create a table to identify characteristics of renewable and nonrenewable resources.
Which of the following will complete the table?

Do not have to be conserved
Provide most of the energy used to generate electricity
None of these
All of the following are examples of renewable resources EXCEPT--
sugar cane
peanut oil
bituminous coal
water vapor
Which of the following conditions are most likely present if the local news announces a tornado watch will be in effect the following day?

A student creates a water cycle model using a resealable bag filled with 100 mL of water. The student tapes the bag to a warm, sunny window.
Why does the student tape the bag in this location?
To demonstrate the advantages of placing the bag in a cooler place
To demonstrate the limitations of using a bag to model the water cycle.
To demonstrate the sun's role as the major source of energy in the water cycle.
To demonstrate the processes of transpiration and collection in the water cycle.
What do the arrows represent in the water cycle model?
Continuous movement of water
Transfer of the sun's energy to water
Gradual evaporation of water from Earth's oceans
Movement of water beneath Earth's Surface
