13.

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 —

a)

absorb sunlight

b)

capture fish

c)

stay anchored

d)

14.

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?

a)

Heat from the sun causes clouds in the area to gather over the ocean and form one large cumulonimbus cloud.

b)

Heat from the sun warms the ocean, causing water to evaporate. The water vapor then condenses to form a cumulonimbus cloud.

c)

Light from the sun shines on the ocean, causing water vapor to condense. The water then evaporates to form a cumulonimbus cloud.

d)

Light from the sun causes ocean water to reflect water vapor into the air and gather over the ocean into a cumulonimbus cloud.

15.
