Which of the following best supports Clara's disagreement?
If a fossil is to be considered an index fossil, the organism must have lived only a short period of time. Since the Gastropod lived a long period of time it is not an index fossil.
To be an index fossil, the fossil of the organism must be found in many rock layers. Since the Gastropod is not found in every layer, it cannot be an index fossil.
An index fossil must be found over a wide area of the earth. Since the Gastropod is widely spread, it cannot be an index fossil.
To be classified an index fossil, the fossil must be unique. Since the Gastropod is not unique, it cannot be an index fossil.
Which reasoning could Caitlin and her classmates use to correctly determine what happened?
The curve of the sandstone layers occurred after the sandstone was laid down because the curve was the result of glaciers in the region.
The sandstone layers were laid down in a curved formation first because they were at one time a channel for a large river that flowed here.
The curve of the sandstone layers occurred after they were laid down because rock layers are naturally laid down horizontally.
The sandstone layers were laid down after the curve because they were laid down on top of rocks that had collapsed due to a landslide.
Which of the following best explain how the Grand Canyon and Mushroom Rock changed over time? Choose TWO answers.?
Mushroom Rock and the Grand Canyon were both formed from different types of erosion that took millions of years.
The Grand Canyon took longer than the Mushroom Rock to form due to the fact that the metamorphic and igneous rocks are more resistant to weathering and erosion than sedimentary rock.
Since Mushroom Rock and the Grand Canyon are from the same type of biome, the rate of erosion was the same. This means that it took the same amount of time for both of them to form.
The Grand Canyon and Mushroom Rock were formed due to water erosion, therefore the rate of erosion is the same. This means it took the same amount of time for both of them to form.
For both The Grand Canyon and Mushroom Rock, most of the erosion occurred at the bottom of the structure.
Which of the following is the most likely reason that the land masses have changed over time?
Tectonic processes caused the movement of Earth’s plates and seafloor spreading 145 million years ago and continues to move today.
Large plates of Earth’s surface greatly moved 145 million years ago but do not move in the present day.
Earth’s plates have moved as far apart as possible, therefore they will not move any more.
Erosion and weathering over long periods of time have caused these large plates to drift apart.
Many scientists claim that the present day continents will continue to drift apart. Which evidence best support their claim? Select three correct answers.
A volcano erupted approximately 35 years ago at Mount Saint Helens.
Scientists know that the continents have come together and spread apart at least three times in the Earth’s history and this pattern will continue.

Petroleum extraction is much faster than the geologic processes that create petroleum.
Louisiana has over 700 million barrels of petroleum stored in two of the four sites of the US Strategic Petroleum Stockpile.
Petroleum is continuously being formed because zooplankton and algae continue to die and be formed into petroleum.
Based on the information provided, which location is most likely to experience earthquakes more often?
Vancouver because it is located closest to the Juan de Fuca plate boundary.
California (CA) because it had earthquakes of the greatest magnitude.

Washington (WA) because it had recent volcanic activity at Mt. St. Helens.
Which of the following statements best explains their results?
The temperature outside varied over the growing season which caused some plants to not grow as tall.
Since the shorter plants were in the shadows of the taller plants, they did not receive enough light to grow tall
The growing conditions of the plants were different; therefore, some of them did not get the same nutrients that they needed.
The plants had different genetic factors that caused some to grow tall and others to not grow as tall.

Linda concluded that bats and humans have the most-recent common ancestor and are most closely-related. Which evidence best supports the claim?
Both bats and birds have similar hearing ranges and neither of them hibernate
Both bats and humans have similar wing/arm structures
Both bats and birds have similar sleep positions and body coverings.
Both bats and humans have similar behaviors during winters.
What three conclusions can be drawn from the embryological development of these organisms?
These organisms develop similarly which indicates that they are related.
Since these organisms begin with the same initial embryological stage, they have common DNA.
These embryological stages illustrate how vertebrates develop in a similar fashion.
These organisms all mutated at different rates to develop different traits.
These organisms have common ancestors because their initial stage of development is similar.
Based on what you know about evolutionary relationships, which of the following embryos is more closely related to the chicken?
Based on what you know about evolutionary relationships, the embryo that is most closely related to the chicken is Embryo A. Which of the following statements best supports this conclusion?
Limbs in embryos are adapted initially for swimming before growing into their intended use once born.
Tails in vertebrate species only begin to grow in the embryo in later stages of their development.
Evolutionary relationships between species can be determined by observing matching features in an embryo.
The time it takes for an embryo to form is a reliable indicator of the evolutionary relationships between species.
Predict what will happen to the average length of hummingbirds in 2003.
In 2003, fewer hummingbirds will have 31 mm beaks while more will have 36 mm beaks.
More hummingbirds will have 31 mm beaks while fewer will have 36 mm beaks when compared to previous years.
In 2003 more hummingbirds will have 33 mm beaks while fewer will have 31 mm beaks in 2003 than in previous years.

In 2003, fewer hummingbirds will have 31 mm beaks while more will have 36 mm beaks. Which of the following pieces of evidence best explains the data?
The longer beaks are adaptations resulting from the amount of nectar available to them.
The longer beaks are indications that the hummingbird has lived longer.
The longer beaks are adaptations resulting from their ability to get nectar from flowers.
The longer beaks are adaptations resulting from their ability to drink from their water source.

The higher the amount of rain in a year, the greater the number of landslides.
The higher the amount of rain in a year, the fewer the number of landslides.
