3
Chemical or physical change?
Physical change
Chemical Change
4
What happens to the energy in an energy pyramid?
Energy increases as it flows through
energy stays the same
energy decreases as it flows through
Energy does not flow
5
Does pollution affect surface water, ground water or both?
just surface water
surface water and groundwater

7
How does the producers of the energy pyramid benefit other orgasnisms
Oxygen and food
Carbon dioxide and dirt
Love and shelter
Water and sunlight
8
Why do so many volcanoes and earthquakes happen along plate boundaries?
bad weather in these areas
coincidence
plates move and shift
none of these
9
Using the energy pyramid, who has the most energy?
Duck
Snake
Minnow
Algae
10
The region along plate boundaries where one plate is sinking beneath another is called
subduction zone
Rift valley
convergent boundary
transform boundary
11
Chemical or physical change?
chemical change
physical change
12
Convection transfers energy through...
air and liquid (fluids)
a vacuum (in space)
a solid
13
As energy moves through the pyramid, the amount of available energy..
decreases because it is released as heat in the environment
remains the same as it is transferred to the next level
increases as the size of the organism increases
doubles as it moves up each trophic level
14
Evidence of Continental Drift
Seafloor spreading of Atlantic Ocean
matching fossils on West Africa and East South America
jigsaw shape of continents
All of above
15
Factories to dump waste into rivers/streams can also have a negative effect on oceans/environment
True
False
16
When plate boundaries form mountains this is an example of which boundary?
convergent
subduction zone
divergent
transform
17
Seafloor spreading occurs when two plates
are colliding into each other
slip passed each other creating earthquakes
are moving away from each other creating ridges
When one plate subducts beneath another less dense one
18
negative effects humans have on environment
air pollution
protecting endangered animals
global warming
water pollution
19
Why does the Moon orbit Earth and NOT the sun?
Earth is closer to the moon than the Sun. Shorter distance is greater pull
Earth has more mass than the Sun so greater gravitational pull
Earth's atmosphere gives Earth more gravitational pull than the Sun
Moon would burn up from the Sun's extreme heat if it were to orbit the Sun
20

True
False
21

24
Which organism shown in the pyramid receives the highest percentage of energy from the sun?
They all get the same amount of energy
Grasses
Coyotes
Prairie Dogs
25
Which best describes heat transfer by radiation?
a hot air balloon
a camp fire warming hands
a pot of stove boiling water
a slice of bacon frying in a pan
26
Chemical or Physical change?
Chemical change
Physical change
