13
Sea and land breezes are caused because:
air moves more easily over land than over water
air moves more easily over water than over land

the land heats and cools more quickly than the water
14
Why do we have moon phases?
Only part of the Moon is lit up as it revolves around the Sun
The amount of light we see changes as the Moon revolves around the Earth
The Earth’s shadow blocks some of the Sun’s light from reaching the Moon
The Moon only gives off light part of the time
15

16
Which of the following is a place where water can be stored for periods of time?
atmosphere
all of the above
aquifers
oceans
17
How does the size of the Moon compare to the size of the Earth?
The Moon is 2 times larger than the the Earth
The Moon is the same size as the Earth
The Moon is ¼ the size of the Earth
No one knows how big the Moon is
18
Which is NOT evidence that Alfred Wegener used to support the idea of Continental Drift?
Evidence of glaciers on Australia
Matching mountain ranges separated by oceans
Plant fossils found of many continents that are separated by oceans
The existence of current islands
19
Which definition below describes "deposition"?
Breaking down of rocks into small pieces by physical or chemical means
The laying down or settling of eroded material
Moving of weathered material from one place to another
20
Which of the following best explains the cause of seasons?
The Earth is farther from the Sun in the summer and closer in the winter
The Earth’s axis is tilted, giving more direct sunlight in the summer
The Earth is closer to the Sun in the summer and farther away in the winter
The Earth’s axis is horizontal, causing part to get all solar energy
21
What TWO forces keep the planets orbiting the Sun?
inertia and mass
mass and gravity
mass and distance
inertia and gravity
22
How are inner planets different from outer planets?
Inner planets are giant and gassy; outer planets are small and solid
Inner planets are small and solid; outer planets are giant and gassy
inner planets have long years; outer planets have short years
inner planets have short days; outer planets have long days
23
In what layer of the atmosphere does the weather occur?
exosphere
thermosphere
troposphere
stratosphere
24
When looking at rock layers, how can scientists determine the age of the layers?
The oldest rock layers are typically found at the top
The youngest rock layers are typically found at the bottom
There is no relationship between the location of the layers and their age
The oldest rock layers are typically found at the bottom
25
The result of a stationary front is…
rain that can last for many days.
a quick rain shower followed by warmer temperatures.
cold rain and drizzle.
thunderstorms.
26
What are the two driving factors of the water cycle?
gravity and magnetism
electricity and the sun
electricity and magnetism
gravity and the sun
27
What type of plate boundary does this image represent?
Convergent boundary
Subduction boundary
Transform boundary
Divergent boundary
28
Which statement is true?
The Moon and Earth both rotate around the Sun.
The Moon revolves around the Earth, and the Earth revolves around the Sun.
The Moon revolves around the Earth, and the Sun revolves around the Earth.
The Moon and Sun both revolve around the Sun.
29
How can scientists use rock layers and fossils to build a geologic time scale?
Studying magnetism of rocks and alignment with the Earth's magnetic field
Comparing existing organisms to extinct organisms in fossils
Counting the number of layers in a rock formation
Correlating ages of rock layers in different places and identifying fossils
30

32
What is the difference between weather and climate?
Weather refers to short-term conditions, climate is long term patterns
Weather refers to conditions in urban areas; climate refers to rural areas
Weather describes conditions during the day; climate describes it at night
Weather and climate are the same thing, just used by different cultures
