Green anole lizards are bright green reptiles native to the southeastern United States and the Caribbean islands. They can be kept in terrariums to study their behavior and how they interact with their environment. Which observation describes this anole lizard interacting with the living elements in its environment?
The anole rested on one of the rocks and lifted its head toward the light.
The anole climbed the plant and then ate a cricket off one of the leaves.
The anole drank some water and then ran across the sand
The anole jumped from the rock and scattered sand with its tail

Aquatic plants have adaptations that help them live in water. For example, the structures needed for making food are located on the tops of floating plant leaves. This adaptation helps the plants —
absorb sunlight
capture fish
stay anchored
avoid predators
The picture below shows a cumulonimbus cloud forming over an ocean. Which statement best explains how the sun and the ocean interact to form a cumulonimbus cloud?
Heat from the sun causes clouds in the area to gather over the ocean and form one large cumulonimbus cloud.
Heat from the sun warms the ocean, causing water to evaporate. The water vapor then condenses to form a cumulonimbus cloud.
Light from the sun shines on the ocean, causing water vapor to condense. The water then evaporates to form a cumulonimbus cloud.
Light from the sun causes ocean water to reflect water vapor into the air and gather over the ocean into a cumulonimbus cloud.

enters the mirror and changes direction when it is refracted by the back of the mirror
refracts in the glass of the mirror and is spread out all over the room
travels through air and does not change its direction in air
The Grand Canyon is more than 400 km long and in some places almost 2 km deep. Which model best represents the main process that formed the Grand Canyon?

Frogs
Humans
Snakes
