tension
gravity
electromagnetic (electrostatic)
A ball rolls down from the top of a grassy hill, reaches the bottom of the hill, continues to roll, and then starts to slow down and comes to a stop. What forces caused this ball's motion?
Frictional force caused the ball to roll down the hill, but air resistance caused the ball to slow down and stop.
Magnetic force caused the ball to roll down the hill, but gravity caused the ball to slow down and stop.
The force of the hill caused the ball to roll down it, but gravity caused the ball to slow down and stop.
Gravity caused the ball to roll down the hill, but frictional force caused the ball to slow down and stop.
What causes a delta to form?
Deltas form at the mouth of a river when wind deposits sand.
Deltas form at the mouth of a river when water slows down and deposits sediment.
Deltas form at the on the bank of a river when a glaciers move past.
Deltas form on the banks of a river when water slows down and deposits sediment.
Why are sinkholes common in Florida?
Florida is a peninsula. Sinkholes are commonly formed on peninsulas because a peninsula is surrounded by water.
Florida has a lot of swamps with animals that burrow into the sandy soil making holes and tunnels that collapse.
Florida's underlying rock is limestone. Limestone dissolves easily, forming caverns which can then collapse and form a sinkhole.
Florida has a lot of oil underground. When the oil is removed, there is nothing left to hold up the soil

deltas
dunes
plateaus
rivers

His skin refracts green light and reflects other colors of the visible light
His skin reflects green light and scatters other colors of the visible light
infrared

Which of the following correctly identifies the speed of sound waves in a substance?
Sound waves travel the slowest through air.
Sound waves travel the slowest through ice.
Sound waves travel the fastest through water.
Sound waves travel the fastest through vacuum.
Which statement best describes the phenomenon that is occurring?
Light speeds up as it moves from the air into the water causing it to refract.
Light travels in a straight line from the air into the water causing it to reflect.
Light travels in a straight line from the water into the air causing it to reflect.
Light slows down as it moves from the air into the water causing it to refract.

plate growth
mantle convection
volcanic eruptions
What type of event will occur at this boundary?
Earthquake
Volcano Eruption
Tornado
Mountain Building
