4
Canyons and deltas are similar in that both form -
where lots of sediments collect
high in the tallest mountains

8
What is different about the data collected about climate? Climate data
refers to longer times and wider areas than weather data
does not include information about air temperature
requires more specialized equipment than weather data
focuses on conditions only in the upper atmosphere
9
What changes buried organic matter into fossil fuels?
Ocean currents
Volcanic activity
Heat and pressure
Industrial pollution
10
What causes seasons?
Earth's rotation on its axis
Earth's tilt and orbit
Day/Night cycle

Dragonfly
Scorpion
Snail shell
Millipede
19
Which condition is necessary for dunes to be formed?
Strong ocean currents and large boulders
Frequent rains and abundant plant life
Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes
Loose, sandy sediments and strong winds
20
Which arrow shows the movement that causes the day and night cycle?
Arrow 3 because it shows the orbit of the moon around Earth
Arrow 4, because it shows the rotation of Earth

Arrow 2, it shows the orbit of the Earth around the sun
21
Which is evidence that the Earth is always rotating on its axis?
The presence of other planets in the night sky
The different amount of rain that falls each day
The different phases of the moon in a month.
The appearance of shadows that change throughout the day
22
Oil formation starts when organisms in the ocean die and then –
decay completely so that their matter is recycled
are carried by currents all over the planet
settle to the bottom and are buried in sediments
get eaten by larger organisms that receive their energy

D
A
C
24
Which of the following best explains how these layers can become rock over many years?
