How does the sun interact with the ocean to influence the weather on Earth?
The Sun's energy causes the Ocean to heat up and make more waves. The waves bring wind energy inland causing a windy day.
The Sun's energy heats the ocean's water causing the water to evaporate, rise into the sky, condense, then fall back to Earth as rain.
The Sun's energy heat the ocean's water causing the core temperature of the water to heat up and produce a fog that moves over the lad.
The Sun's energy heats up the ocean's water which lowers the temperature of the air surrounding it causing the temperature on the land to drop.
Three students wrote a SCR over the formation of sedimentary rock. Only one of them scored a 2 (highest score). Which of the following student's scored full points on their SCR?
Sedimentary rock is formed when weathering causes rocks to be broken into sediments. The sediments are carried by water (erosion) and dropped off (deposited) in layers. More and more layers build up which cause pressure to build up causing the sediment to be compacted together. Lastly, the minerals left behind from water cause the sediments to stick together in the compaction step.
Sedimentary rock is formed by weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation where the minerals of the water cause the rock to harden.
Sedimentary rock is formed by layers of sediments being dropped off, or deposited, with decaying organisms between the layers. After millions of year along with heat and pressure, the sediments are squished together in the step we call compaction. Finally, rock transforms into sedimentary rock because of the extreme heat and pressure in the step called cementation.
Which of the following should go in the blank: Weathering, Erosion, _________, compaction, cementation.
