Most species that have lived on Earth are now extinct.
A student sets up a box with a flashlight that shines on a mirror located at position X. Other possible locations for objects in the box are labeled A-E. How can the student place objects in the box to have all the light from the flashlight shine back on the flashlight?
Place a mirror at position E to reflect the light to a prism placed at position C to refract all the light back to the flashlight.
Place a prism at position E to refract the light to mirrors placed at positions C and D to reflect the light back to the flashlight.
Place a mirror at position E to reflect the light to a prism placed at position A to refract all the light to the flashlight.
Place mirrors at positions A and E to reflect the light around the box and back to the flashlight.
Scientists find evidence of a large meteor impact on the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. What can the scientists most likely expect to find in the layers of rock that are about the same age as the impact?
evidence of the mass extinction of many species
evidence of a gradual change of one species over time
evidence of a rapid change in one species
evidence of the stability of many species over time
The image shows four locations (A-D) on the island of Japan, which resides on or near four different tectonic plates. Which location and explanation describes where engineers should design buildings that can withstand earthquakes?
location A; earthquakes occur near plate boundaries
location B; earthquakes occur far away from mountains
location C; earthquakes occur along the coast
location D; earthquakes occur in the middle of continents
The image shows the emission spectrum measured from a star once a year for three years. Based on the shifts of the spectral lines, how is the star moving with respect to Earth?
The star is moving toward Earth.
The star is moving away from Earth.
Initially, the star moves away and then starts moving toward Earth.
Initially, the star moves toward and then starts moving away from Earth.
Which scientific discovery supports the claim that Earth has changed over time?
Plants use sunlight to grow and create sugars.
Oceans cover a majority of the surface of Earth.
Animals can live in different climates on Earth.
Rocks found on different mountains are different ages.
An ocean wave energy device moves up and down with the motion of an ocean wave. The device produces more energy if larger waves move the device.
Which property of waves does the wave energy device use the most?
amplitude
frequency
volume
wavelength
Fossil evidence shows that Archaeopteryx, an ancient bird-like animal, had many reptile-like features including a long tail with many vertebrae and claws. Which conclusion does the fossil evidence support?
Birds and reptiles laid eggs.
Birds and reptiles had similar evolutionary beginnings.
Birds and reptiles had similar behaviors.
Birds and reptiles lived at the same time in the ancient past.
The image shows two ways of transmitting signals for television broadcasting. Historically, in aerial transmissions for television, the analog signals were transmitted from a television station tower and received at homes through an antenna. In current satellite transmissions, the signals are digitized and transmitted from the sender to the receiver through a satellite. Why are satellite transmissions used instead of aerial transmissions?
Only satellite transmissions can work in bad weather.
Satellite transmissions can serve a much larger area.
Unlike aerial transmissions, satellite transmissions are a wireless mode of transmission.
Unlike aerial transmissions, satellite transmissions do not have to pass through the air.
The model shows four different positions (W-Z) of the Moon in its orbit around Earth. Which position(s) of the Moon will cause spring tides on Earth? (remember- straight line, spring tide, springs higher)
X only
X and Z
W and Y
Y only
Which instrument is used to take an image from outer space that shows the depletion of the ozone layer in Earth’s atmosphere?
microscope

Which of the following best explains why the sky appears blue during the day?
A) The sky reflects the blue color of the oceans.
B) Blue light is scattered in all directions by the gases and particles in the atmosphere.
C) The sun emits more blue light than any other color.
D) Blue light travels faster than other colors of light.
What is the primary reason for the seasons on Earth?
A) The distance of Earth from the Sun changes throughout the year.
B) The tilt of Earth's axis relative to its orbit around the Sun.
C) The speed of Earth's rotation changes during the year.
D) The shape of Earth's orbit around the Sun is a perfect circle.
Which of the following processes is primarily responsible for the formation of sedimentary rocks?
A) Melting and solidification of magma.
B) Compression and cementation of mineral particles.
C) Cooling and crystallization of lava.
D) Metamorphism of existing rock.
