How are lakes and estuaries similar?
They both have freshwater.
They are both saltwater bodies.
They are both man-made.
They both contain only marine life.
Which will most likely increase the speed of an object?
applying a faster force
applying a slower force
applying a weaker force
applying a stronger force
Which statement best describes how winter weather can damage roads?
Water can get into cracks in roads, then freeze and expand, making the cracks worse.
Snow accumulation can provide insulation, preventing road damage.
Rainwater helps to wash away debris, keeping roads in good condition.
Cold temperatures cause the asphalt to become more flexible and durable.
Which best explains why a pan placed on a hot stove top will begin to warm?
conduction
convection
radiation
insulation
Which has the greatest effect of wind speed?
precipitation
cloud cover
wind direction
air pressure
Which ecosystem would most likely contain fish that can only survive in freshwater?
lake
estuary
ocean
outer space
What is the cause of rising surface temperatures of the Pacific Ocean, drought in the western United States, and flooding on the Pacific coast of South America?

Water is being boiled on the stove. What is the change that is taking place?
A liquid is changing into a gas.
A solid is melting into a liquid.
A gas is condensing into a liquid.

On a cold, cloudy day, the local weather forecaster predicts that a high-pressure system will be moving into the area in the next 24 hours. Which weather conditions will this system most likely bring to the area?
sunny
rainy
snowy
foggy
Which is the best explanation for how air masses move across the United States?
The prevailing westerlies move air masses from east to west across the United States.
The prevailing westerlies move air masses from west to east across the United States but may be deflected by the jet stream.
Air masses move randomly without any specific direction across the United States.
Air masses are primarily influenced by ocean currents rather than wind patterns.

iron
wood
water
plastic
Which will most likely result from a low-pressure weather system?
warm temperatures
cloudy conditions
clear conditions
cool temperatures

Which is most responsible for the uneven heating of the air in the atmosphere?
radiation
conduction
convection
condensation
