Answers
1
Which of these processes are required for the formation of sedimentary rock?
weathering and melting
boiling and pressure
pressure and cooling
deposition and compaction
2
Which is NOT a factor in the formation of fossil fuels?
time
heat
pressure
melting
3
What is one disadvantage of using wind energy rather than burning coal to produce electricity?
it does not cause pollution
can be converted directly into electricity
the turbines are too large
it is economical
4
Which of the following things would we NOT know about an organism by looking at fossil remains?
what it ate
we would know all of the above
how it moved around
how long ago it lived
5
All of these are examples of fossil fuels except -
natural gas
coal
petroleum
corn oil
6
Coal, oil, and natural gas are all fossil fuels. Fossil fuels originated from -
buried, dead organisms changed by heat and pressure
decayed rocks from within Earth's crust
heat preserved within Earth's crust
plants that survived Earth's changes
7
Which of the following is not a SLOW change to the Earth's surface?
volcano
erosion
deposition
weathering
8
Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments that are eroded & deposited in layers.This requires
collection and transportation
deposition and melting
time and pressure
temperature and time
9
Which time period is the most recent and would include fossils of human remains?
Mesozoic
Cenozoic
Paleozoic
Proterozoic
10
The change in the canyon's shape is a result of -
volcanic activity
earthquakes
glacial erosion
fast moving water
11
What is advantage of using wind to produce electricity?
the local ecosystem may be disrupted
pollutants are emitted into the atmosphere
oil spills may occur
it is cost effective over time
12
Dinosaurs became extinct at the end of the Mesozoic Era. About how long ago was this?
1.8 million years ago
2.5 billion years ago
65 million years ago
252 million years ago
13
What does it mean for an energy source to be "renewable"?
can be converted directly into heat and electricity
can be replenished in a short period of time
are clean and cost effective
do not produce air pollutants
14
What type of renewable energy comes from the heat given off by the Earth's core?
solar
hydropower
biofuel
geothermal
15
A process by which wind or water drops sediment in a new location is -
deposition
erosion
weathering
16
Which agent of erosion influenced this change over time?
wind
water
ice
waves
17
Where does the heat come from that is necessary to produce fossil fuels?
the Sun
burning coal
power plants
the Earth's core
18
Which of the following contributes to changes on Earth's surface , creating a delta?
volcanic eruptions
fast moving rivers
shifting from an earthquake
wind erosion
19
What is required to produce fossil fuels from
organic matter
(plants and animals)?
time, heat, pressure
heat, pressure, steam
heat, temperature, pressure
time, heat, water
20
Which process most likely caused these structures to form?
weathering by wind
erosion by fast moving water
deposition of minerals
decrease in temperature
21
What most likely caused the large crack shown in the rock below?
wind erosion
fast-moving water
deposition
freezing and melting of water
22
Biofuel is an energy resource that causes less pollution than coal. Biofuels come from -
hydroelectric energy
plants and animals
rocks that have been changed by heat and pressure
geothermal energy
23
Which energy source is considered non-renewable?
solar
natural gas
biofuel
hydroelectric
24
Development of landforms like deltas, canyons, and sand dunes is caused by all of these except
weathering
erosion
deposition
cementation
25
Which of the following best completes the process shown in the chart?
rock
layers
transporting
compaction
