Sabrina drew 2 pictures of plants in her science notebook.
Based on the drawing, what can you conclude about the soil mixture Sabrina used in each pot?
The soil mixture in Plant 1 has humus, and the soil mixture in Plant 2 lacks nutrients.
The soil mixture in Plant 1 is tan, and the soil mixture in Plant 2 is dark brown.
The soil mixture in Plant 1 does not hold any water, and the soil mixture in Plant 2 holds some water.
The soil mixture in Plant 1 feels rough and gritty, and the soil mixture in Plant 2 feels soft and smooth.
Sabrina planted two bean plants outside in her backyard using different soil mixtures for each plant. Sabrina gave the plants the same amount of water and cared for them the same way. The only difference was the soil.
What kind of soil mixture did Sabrina most likely use for Plant 1?
Clay and silt mixture
Sand and gravel mixture
Gravel and clay mixture
Loam and silt mixture

Soil particle sizes determine the following soil characteristics, EXCEPT-
The color
The type of soil
The capacity to retain water
The texture
The grass and water in this picture are examples of resources. How should grass and water be classified?
Both the grass and water are nonrenewable resources.
Both the grass and water are renewable resources.
The grass is renewable, and the water is nonrenewable.
The grass is nonrenewable, and the water is renewable.
Billy looks at samples of sand, clay, and silt through a hand lens. Billy can see that the particle sizes are different among the three types of soil. Which answer shows the particle sizes of the three types of soil listed from smallest to largest?
sand, silt, clay
clay, silt, sand
clay, sand, silt
silt, sand, clay
Tonya and her lab partner made a glacier model using a metal pan, ice, and a mix of sand and gravel. They recorded their observations and described the results.Which statement best describes the results Tonya and her lab partner observed?
The glacier moved down the pan and carved a V-shaped valley.
The glacier moved down the pan and carved a U-shaped valley.
The glacier moved up the pan and created a sand dune.
The glacier moved down the pan and created a rock arch.
Which model demonstrates a way to test properties of different soils to determine which type of soil best supports the growth of plants?
What is one reason we should recycle plastic bottles?
Recycling plastic is more expensive.
Recycling plastic will cut down on its use.
Recycling plastic can reduce the rate at which landfills are
filling up.
Plastic comes from a renewable resource.
Caves are large empty spaces below the surface of the Earth. Which of the following processes forms caves over millions of years?
Rivers carry mud and silt and then deposit them.
Water flowing underground carries away minerals.
Sediments evaporate forming clouds
Ocean currents move sediments along the beach.
Several students investigate the characteristics of soil. The students observe samples of common soils. In one sample they observe that water drains through the soil easily. When they rub the soil between their fingers, it feels rough and scratchy, and its particles feel hard. The soil that the students observed is most likely –
Clay
Silt
Loam
Sand
Earth’s surface is constantly changing, resulting in landforms such as canyons, beaches, and valleys. Which of the following forces create these landforms over time?
Wind, magnetism, ice
Wind, ice, water
Water, light energy, ice
Water, magnetism, heat energy
Mauricio observes a sample of soil and completes a chart to describe the characteristics of the soil sample.
The soil observed is most likely –
Silt
Sand
Loam
Clay
Bria and Michelle are having a discussion about natural resources.
Bria: Nonrenewable resources can be used faster than they can be replaced and will not be renewed in my lifetime.
Michelle: Nonrenewable resources may be renewed in a relatively short amount of time and are constantly being recycled.
Which student is correct?
Michelle, because nonrenewable resources can be easily replaced.
Bria, because nonrenewable resources will not be renewed in one’s lifetime.
Both Bria and Michelle are correct.
Both Bria and Michelle are incorrect.
Jessica and her family went to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. They observed sand dunes while they were there.
What most likely caused the sand dunes to form?
Sand in glaciers was deposited on the dunes when the glaciers melted.
Sand was carried by rivers and deposited on the dunes.
Wind picked up sand grains from one place and deposited them in another place.
Moving water in the rivers eroded gravel and sediment leaving the sand on the dunes.
The Colorado River runs through the Grand Canyon.
How was the Grand Canyon formed?
Over many centuries, trees that grew beside the Colorado River broke apart rocks with their large roots and formed the canyon.
Over millions of years, the Colorado River weathered and eroded rock. This formed the canyon.
Over thousands of years, the Colorado River deposited sediment beside the river that eventually built up the canyon walls.
Over a frigid winter, the Colorado River froze into a glacier that dissolved rock beneath it and formed the canyon.
Ms. Talley’s class was discussing the importance of conserving natural resources. Which of the following statements about conserving resources is true?
Both renewable and nonrenewable resources should be conserved.
Only renewable resources should be conserved.
Only nonrenewable resources should be conserved.
Neither renewable nor nonrenewable resources should be conserved.
Which example describes a nonrenewable resource?
Lettuce used to make a salad
Wood used in the fireplace
Gas used to make a motorcycle operate
Water used to brush your teeth
Observe the rock arch.
Which natural process is most likely responsible for the shaping of the arch over time?
Weathering caused by wind
Erosion caused by water
Weathering caused by ice
Deposition caused by wind
Why are grasses classified as renewable resources?
Grasses cannot be replaced.
Grasses are needed by snakes.
Grasses can be replaced within our lifetime.
Grasses are needed by animals.
A student places 250g samples of clay, sand, gravel, and silt in separate flowerpots. The pots are set on a wire rack, and dishes are placed beneath the pots so that water can drip through holes and collect. The student then pours 100 mL of water over the sample in each pot. The student measures the time it takes for water to begin dripping from the bottom of each pot. What property of soils is the student most likely examining with this procedure?
The differences in texture between wet and dry soils
How well different soils retain water
How much water is needed to dissolve different soils
The amount of time it takes different soils to dry
Resources can be classified as renewable and nonrenewable. Which of these resources can be classified in the same category as water?
Coal and plants
Natural gas and coal
Plants and animals
Oil and insects
A variety of events and processes act on the Earth’s surface and cause change. Some of these changes happen in seconds and others take years. Which of the following takes the longest time to change the Earth’s surface?
