How does the water cycle contribute to the distribution of Earth's water resources?
It keeps water in the oceans only
It moves water between the atmosphere, land, and oceans
It prevents water from evaporating
It only affects freshwater sources
Which city is about to experience a cold front?

Predict what might happen to global weather patterns if the Earth's surface absorbed more solar energy.
There would be no change in weather patterns
Global temperatures would decrease
Weather patterns would become more extreme
The Earth would stop rotating
Analyze how the unequal heating of Earth's surface affects wind patterns.
It causes wind to blow in a straight line
It creates high and low-pressure areas that drive wind movement
It has no effect on wind patterns
It causes wind to stop completely

Metamorphic
Sedimentary
You have 2 rocks formed at the same time. One rock was formed from small pieces of rock and the other was formed from liquid rock in a different place. Would these rocks be the same or different types of rock? Why?
the same type because they are both formed from rock material.
the same type because they formed at the same time
different types because they formed in different ways
different types because they formed in different places
