noncyclic and unpredictable
Which graph best represents the relationship between the number of sunspots and the amount of magnetic activity in the Sun?
If sample C were cut in half, the slope of the line for material C on the graph would
decrease
increase
remain the same
If the trend shown in graph II continued into 1980, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in 1980 was probably
less than 30 parts per million
between 100 and 280 parts per million
between 300 and 320 parts per million
greater than 340 parts per million

22.7 cm3
31.4 cm3
40.0 cm3
44.0 cm3

decreases
increases
remains the same
increases
remains the same
The best example of a noncyclic event is
a change of seasons
a volcanic eruption
a phase change of the Moon
an apparent star movement
Which statement about a rock sample is most likely an inference?
The rock has flat sides and sharp corners.
The rock is made of small, dark-colored crystals.
The rock has thin, distinct layers.
The rock has changed color due to weathering.
Which graph best represents the relationship between the density and the volume of these mineral samples?
Which inference about tides is best made from this graph?
The hourly rate of tidal change is always the same.
The rate of tidal change is greatest at high tide.
The tidal change is a random event.
The tidal change is cyclic.
Science investigators initially use classification systems to
extend their powers of observation
organize their observations in a meaningful way
make direct comparisions with standard units of measurement
make more accurate inferences
The grouping of objects or events based on similar characteristics is called
observation
interpretation
measurement
classification
The diagram below represents the mass and volume of a mineral sample being measured. These measurements were used to determine the density of the mineral sample.
What is the density of this mineral sample?
6 g/mL
24 g/mL
34 g/mL
60 g/mL
The diagrams represent particles of the same type of sedimentary rock material collected from a streambed. The diagrams are drawn to scale.
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.
Which graph best represents the percentage by mass of elements of Earth’s crust?
HINT: ERST PAGE 1
Which process transfers heat energy through molecular collisions?
radiation
convection
infiltration
conduction
Arrows in the diagram below show three methods of energy transfer labeled A, B, and C.

B–convection;
C–radiation
A–convection;
B–conduction;
C–radiation
A–convection;
B–radiation;
C–conduction
A–conduction;

Which diagram best represents heat transfer mainly by the process of convection?
As water vapor changes phase from gas to liquid (condensation), each gram of water vapor
HINT: ESRT PAGE 1
releases 2260 joules of heat energy
releases 334 joules of heat energy
gains 2260 joules of heat energy
gains 334 joules of heat energy
When one gram of liquid water at its boiling point is changed into water vapor
HINT: ESRT PAGE 1
334 J/g is gained from the surrounding environment
334 J/g is released into the surrounding environment
2260 J/g is gained from the surrounding environment
2260 J/g is released into the surrounding environment
