Total questions: 16
Worksheet time: 34mins
Wood can be used as a fuel for campfires or heating homes in the winter. What makes wood an advantage instead of using fossil fuels?
Nature will always be able to supply more wood in the future.
Wood is way easier to use.
Waste is not produced by wood.
A piece of wood holds more energy than the same amount of fossil fuel.
Matt seems to think that fossil fuels are classified as renewable resources because they form naturally.
Kinsey disagrees with Matt and argues that fossil fuels are nonrenewable and may not be available in the future.
Which statement best supports Kinsey's argument?
The burning of fossil fuels releases many gases such as carbon dioxide.
The environment can be damaged because of the mining of fossil fuels.
It can take millions of years of natural processes to form fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels have a lot of energy stored in them and are easy to use.
Mr. McGinty's Science Class wants to make great choices in the use of resources.
All of the following are wise choices to conserve natural resources, EXCEPT
Recycle Gatorade bottles and Dr. Pepper cans.
Turn laptops off when they are not in use.
Bring your lunch in a lunchbox to school instead of putting it in a paper bag.
Dispose of plastic bags in a trash can instead of a recycle bin.
What are some advantages of generating electricity from solar power or wind power instead of from fossil fuels?
Choose TWO correct answers.
Solar wind and solar power are always less polluting than fossil fuels.
Solar wind and solar power are just not very pretty.
Solar wind and solar power really smells bad.
Solar wind and solar power will always be available in the future.
Wind turbines are used to generate electricity. How do they help protect the environment and conserve energy resources?
Operating a wind turbine uses more money.
Electricity use from wind turbines is more useful than electricity from other sources.
Power plants that use fossil fuels can be replaced by wind turbines.
Wind turbines can produce electricity even in the calmest weather.
What is the most important physical property of a sedimentary rock that makes it ideal for oil and natural gas to be developed and stored in them?
Sedimentary rocks are extremely hard.
Sedimentary rocks are porous due to empty spaces between the sediments.
Sedimentary rocks have many different colorful layers.
Sedimentary rocks are not porous.
Oil and water both can collect underground. What does underground supplies of oil and water have in common?
They both form from rocks which rise up from Earth's interior.
Both fill cracks or holes inside rocks or between cracks.
Both are liquids that seeps down from the surface.
Both flow in underground rivers or streams.

Nonrenewable: Minerals, Oil
Renewable: Water, Wood
Nonrenewable: Coal, Solar
Renewable: Coal, Natural Gas
Nonrenewable: Water, Minerals
Renewable: Wood, Water

When an ocean gets most of the sun's energy that falls on Earth, what impact does this have on the water cycle?
Water vapor present in the air condenses over oceans.
Water from other sources ends up in oceans.
Precipitation falls far away from oceans.
The evaporated water comes from the oceans.
Kendel poured 150mL of water into a glass and then sets it outside in the sun. After 3 hours she went outside and observed that the amount of water decreased. Why did this occur?
The water wasted
Sunlight condensed the water
Sun evaporated the water
There was a lot of precipitation
Which best describes climate rather than weather?
Windspeed is changing as a tornado is coming through an area
Annual high temperatures in the summer have increased over decades
A cold front is coming through and making the temperature decrease
One year had more rainfall then the other.
Each year for 30 years, the amount of snow in New York was recorded. Tracking snowfall over a long period provides the most information about which characteristic of a certain area?
Climate
One Temperature of one day
Weather
Water Cycle
Which answer choice correctly classifies statements about weather and climate?
Weather: Hail can form in thunderstorms that have strong winds
Climate: The high temperature for Thursday is 31 degrees.
Weather: July has the highest temperature every year
Climate: Next week a cold front is expected to blow in
Weather: There will be a tropical storm tomorrow night
Climate: The month of January has had the coldest temperatures on record for thirty years
Weather: The high temperature this week is expected to be 54 degrees
Climate: There are sunny skies with no chance of rain for the next two days.
