Which statement about a hurricane is an inference?
The windspeed is measured at 200km/hr
The central air pressure is recorded at 946.0 mb
A rain gauge records three inches of rain in less than one hour.
Damage from the storm is expected to be extensive.
The cartoon below presents a humorous look at science.
The correct explanation of why ice floats is that, compared to liquid water, solid ice
has less mass
has more mass
is less dense
is more dense
The accompanying graph shows temperature readings for a day in April. The average rate of temperature change, in Farenheit degrees per hour between 6 am and noon was
6°/hour
8°/hour
3°/hour
18°/hour
The temperature of water in a container was 60° C. Ten minutes later, the water temperature was 35° C. What was the rate of cooling of the water?
25 C°/min
2.5 C°/min
35 C°/min
3.5 C°/min
Which procedure is an example of classifying observed data?
grouping stars by brightness
graphing temperature versus time for a particular date
photographing the could cover for a location throughout 1 week
measuring the angle of Polaris from two different locations
Base your answer(s) to the following question(s) on
the Earth Science Reference Tables, the diagrams
below, and your knowledge of Earth science. The
diagram represents particles of the same type
of sedimentary rock material collected from a
streambed. The diagrams are drawn actual size. Which inference about the density of particle A
and particle B is most accurate?
Particle A and particle B have the same
density because they are made of the same
material
Particle A has a greater density than particle B
because particle A has a greater volume
Particle A has a greater density than particle B
because particle A has a greater mass
Particle B has a greater density than particle A
because particle B has been worn to a smaller
size
Oil and water are added to a beaker. The beaker in the figure below shows the oil and water after they have separated. Which of the following is an inference that explains the result of the experiment represented by the figure?
Oil floats on water.
Water floats on oil
Oil is less dense than water.
Water is less dense than oil
In terms of density, explain why ice floats in a glass of water.
According to your ESRT, what would be the most dense rock?
rhyolite
granite
pumice
dunite
What type of plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault on?
Transform
Convergent
Divergent
Unknown
