An observer watching a sailing ship at sea notes that the ship appears to be "sinking" as it moves away. Which statement best explains this observation?
The surface of the ocean has depressions.
The Earth has a curved surface.
The Earth is rotating.
The Earth is revolving.
Which two Earth layers are separated by the moho boundary (ESRT p.10)
Rigid mantle and plastic mantle
Outer core and stiffer mantle
Stiffer mantle and asthenosphere
Crust and rigid mantle
The layer of bedrock near the Earth's surface that forms a continuous shell around the Earth is called the (ESRT p.10)
Trophosphere
Stratosphere
Lithosphere

Which statement about polaris is best illustrated by the diagrams shown below?
polaris is located in a winter constellation
polaris is located at the zenith at each location.
polaris' apparent movement through the sky follows a south-to-north orientation.
polaris' altitude is equal to a locations latitude.
As altitude increases in the troposphere and stratosphere, the air temperature (ESRT p.14)
decreases in the troposphere and increases in the stratosphere
decreases in both the troposphere and stratosphere
increases in the troposphere and decreases in the stratosphere
increases in both the troposphere and stratosphere
Base your answer on the diagram below which represents a cross section of a portion of the Earth's crust. Densities in grams per cubic centimeter are shown for several points.
Which inference can best be made from the diagram?
The Moho is the interface between oceanic and continental crusts.
The continental crust is thicker than the oceanic crust.
The continental crust has a higher density than the oceanic crust.
The Moho is always found at the same depth below the Earth's surface.
According to the data below, what is the exact shape of the earth?
slightly flattened at both the Equator and the Poles
slightly bulging at both the Equator and the Poles
slightly flattened at the Equator and slightly bulging at the Poles
slightly flattened at the Poles and slightly bulging at the Equator

Iton
Oxygen
Hydrogen
Potassium
Base your answer on the diagram below. The diagram illustrates the position of the Earth in relation to the Sun on one particular day. Points A, B, C, and D are locations on the Earth's surface.
