gravity
the Earth is approx 70% water
the Earth is a closed system
convection currents
4

9
Which of the following describes liquid changing to gas?
condensation
precipitation
evaporation
convection
10
Which of the following describes a solid changing to a liquid?

11
The Theory of Continental Drift states that
tectonic plates do not move
none of these
continents were once connected then drifted apart
lithosphere is created
12
When heated material rises, then cools and sinks, only to be reheated and rise again is called
precipitation
convection currents
subduction
plate tectonics
13
Which of the following are you most likely to find in a dead zone?
few nutrients
overpopulation of aquatics species
low levels of turbidity
low levels of dissolved oxygen
14
Which of the following steps of the water cycle is NOT caused by gravity?
precipitation
run-off
evaporation
groundwater
15
Which of the following geological processes involves the breaking apart of Earth materials?
deposition
erosion
weathering
subduction
16
Farming and construction are examples of activities that increase what earth process?
earthquakes
mitigation
flooding
erosion and deposition
17
Some resources are non-renewable because
they are easily replenished
they take a long time to be formed
where they are formed
they are expensive
18
Which of the following boundaries is found where plates move AWAY from each other?
transform
lithosphere
convergent
divergent
19
What is most likely to form where two continental plates CONVERGE?

24
Plate Tectonics is the theory that states
each continent sits on it's own plate
the Earth is made up of many plates that do not move
the Earth is made up of many plates that slowly move
