Questions 34

Answers

1
Oil formation starts when organisms in the ocean die and then –
are carried by currents all over the planet
get eaten by larger organisms that receive their energy
decay completely so that their matter is recycled
settle to the bottom and are buried in sediments
2
What pattern over the five days can be observed in the collected data?
Temperature increased during the week.
Rain came along with lower temperatures
There was more rain on the warmer days
There were fewer clouds as the week went on.
3
Which two processes complete this diagram?
Erosion and compaction
Evaporation and dissolving
Melting and cooling
Compaction and cementation
4
Cooling of water vapor causes condensation to form which part of the diagram?
B
A
D
C
5
Which arrow shows the movement that causes the day and night cycle?
Arrow 1 because it shows rotation of the sun
Arrow 4, because it shows the rotation of Earth
Arrow 2, it shows the orbit of the Earth around the sun
Arrow 3 because it shows the orbit of the moon around Earth
6
Which condition is necessary for dunes to be formed?
Frequent rains and abundant plant life
Strong ocean currents and large boulders
Loose, sandy sediments and strong winds
Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes
7
What sequence of climates occurred in the past based on the evidence?
Forest, and later a mountain
Very cold area, then much warmer
Beach, followed by a forest
Rocky and dry, then very moist
8
How did the delta at the end of the Rio Grande?
Sand and mud from the Gulf were washed ashore by tsunamis
Hurricanes pushed soil and debris from the Gulf onto land
The river deposited of sediment from land erosion
The river cut through the solid bedrock of the valley
9
What is different about the data collected about climate? Climate data
requires more specialized equipment than weather data
focuses on conditions only in the upper atmosphere
refers to longer times and wider areas than weather data
does not include information about air temperature
10
Which is evidence that the Earth is always rotating on its axis?
The appearance of shadows that change throughout the day

They both have water
14
Canyons and deltas are similar in that both form -
in and around active volcanoes
due to the action of moving water
where lots of sediments collect
high in the tallest mountains
15
Which of the following events in the water cycle is an example of solar energy being absorbed?
Water evaporating from the surface of the ocean
Rain freezing as it falls towards the ground
Water condensing to form clouds

18
Which of the following best explains how these layers can become rock over many years?

Pollution caused by humans turns the sediment into rock
Sand in the sediment melts and turns into rock
The weight of the water compacts the sediment into rock
19
