Answers
1
Water sinks down when it is
Frozen
Hotter than the water around it
Cooler than the water around it and saltier
Cooler and less salty
2
At subduction zones...
Seafloor sinks making earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes
The crust spreads apart.
New land is formed
Extreme pressure and heat form metamorphic rock
3
What about galaxies?
Each has BILLIONS of stars and planets in it
There are BILLIONS of galaxies
Its a hoax
There are a few other than ours
4
During a solar eclipse...

5
Should the top 5 get rewards?
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
6
There is more rain at the equator because...
The warm humid air rises
The sun is less intense at the equator
A warm front passes thourgh
The warm humid air sinks
7
In the US, air always moves...
Straight under mountains
Move from low to high
Moves from high to low and curves right
Straight to space
8
Continents move because...
The continents never move
Convection in the upper mantle moves the crust
Cracks in the Earth always move apart
Subduction pulls them apart
9
What happens when cool air sinks?
A warm front forms
It forms a low and rain comes
It sinks, preventing air from rising, so it is clear and dry
Clouds from from condensation
10
Summer happens because (pick 2)
Our sun burns hotter in the summer months
The angle of the sun gets higher, so it is more intense
We get closer to the sun
The days get longer in the summer, so has more time heating
11
What about aliens?
We have the only solar system
Not likely there is any other life in the universe
There are very few other planets in the universe
Likely with billions of solar systems, but no proof any here
12
Melting icebergs make the ocean water nearby
Polluted
Less salty so more buoyant
More salty and less dense
Warmer and more salty
13
Santa needs Rudolph's nose to glow so bright because
There is 24 hours of total darkness in December
It's pretty
There is 24 hours of daylight shining in December
It makes good movies for marketing his toy products
14
At the mid ocean ridge, crust is...
Destroyed by magma cooling
Created by magma cooling and plates diverge
A deep trench forms
Created by magma cooling and plates converge
15
Hawaii has volcanoes because...
Subducting plates melt and magma rises
Gasses and thick lava always make explosive eruptions there
It is on a mid ocean ridge
There is a hot spot under the middle of the Pacific plate
16
Fossils can show us (pick 3)
The environment long ago
Mostly show the soft parts of extinct animals
How animals evolved over time
the relative age of rock layers
17
Which is in the correct order?
planet, solar system, galaxy, cluster of galaxies, universe
planet, galaxy, cluster of galaxies, solar system, universe
planet, solar system, cluster of galaxies, galaxy, universe
planet, galaxy, solar system, cluster of galaxies, universe
18
Is the Earth a wonderful planet?
Yes, it has factors that make life possible!
Yes, without it, we would have nowhere to live
Yes it has many beautiful places
Yes, we are soy fortunate to be alive on it in the present
19
As rivers get older, this happens
They get more straight
Outer banks erode and deposit down stream to build a beach
Fish jump out in fear that the river will dry up
They get shallower.
20
There is very little rain in deserts because...
Rising air at the equator moves north and sinks over deserts
Air sinks at the equator and rises at deserts
it is always hot and dry from a lot of sun
There is no seabreeze
21
Climate change happens (pick 3)
Can change species, and even lead to extinctions
When humans burn too much fossil fuel
When greenhouse gasses increase
Only by natural causes
22
Tides!
Have least range when the sun and moon are lined up
Have the most range during quarter moons
Are mostly because of the sun's gravity
Have most range during a full and new moon
23
The jet stream is...
Where trout swim as fast as a jet!
High up and goes West to East over US
High up and goes East to West over US
A storm for jets to avoid at all costs
24
The north pole is cold even in summer because
Low sun angle, so low intensity heat
Santa likes it that way for his sled
The sun is out for 24 hours
The high sun angle makes intense heat
25
What type of air mass is over NH, behind the Cold Front?
maritime Tropical
continental Polar
continental Tropical
maritime Polar
26
Air pressure in the atmosphere...
Is the most at the bottom
Is the most at the top
Decreases toward the bottom
Is the same everywhere
27
Water rises up when it is
Colder and less salty
Colder and more salty
Feels the need for justice
Warm and less salty (more like fresh water)
28
Dinosaurs compared to humans...
Aren't real, the fossils are fake.
Were on Earth less time than humans.
Were domesticated by early humans.
Were on Earth over 80 times longer than humans!
29
If the last dinosaur fossil was found...
You would dig above for more!
It would be at the bottom of the stack of dino bones.
You would think its a fake
You would dig below for more dinosaur fossils.
30
Our sun will someday do this
Super giant, super nova, black hole
super red giant, super nova, neutron star
red giant, supernova, new galaxy
red giant nears Earth, planetary nebula, white>black dwarf
31
What does warm air do when the air around it is cooler?
The colder air rises
Warmer air sinks
The warmer air rises
Colder air rises
32
Evaporation
Happen when gas cools and turns to liquid
Happens when molecules jump from liquid
Does not happen in sinking air
Only happens under rising air
33
Clastic sedimentary rock...
is from weathering compaction, then cementation
needs heat to form
is from extreme pressure, so no fossils are found
is from weathering, cementing, then compaction
34
Convection happens when
You press the right button on the stove
Warmer air gets less dense and rises
Cold air rises up
Hot air sinks and makes high pressure
35
The Earth stays in orbit because...
The sun orbits around the Earth
The moon stabilizes the rotation
It rotates on its axis
The Sun's gravity is balanced by inertia of Earth's orbit
36
Meteorologists...
do it weather or not! (Ok, they study the weather ;-)).
Only study space
Study meteors using tanks to get under them
Use wimpy computers since forecasting is so simple
37
Warmer air rises because...
The molecules are closer together
It gets more volume with same mass, making it less dense.
It moves toward light.
It's more dense.
38
If a cold front passes through Tilton
high clouds>low clouds>drizzle>rain
Only happen in winter
Cold before it comes, afterwards warmer, then it's stormy
Before it's warmer, then stormy, later it gets cooler drier
39
Water turns from liquid to vapor by (pick 2)
evaporation
never happens with sinking air
condensation
transpiration from plant leaves
40
This is true
Igneous cools slowly under ground to make big crystals
Igneous cools fast to make huge crystals
If formed underground, it has no crystals
Igneous has fossils
41
What kind of weather do you get where a cold dry air mass pushes into a warm humid air?
A jet stream forms
It stays clear
Stormy weather occurs at the front
It stays cold
42
As you go higher up, the temperature ...

Always gets colder
Decreases in the troposphere and Increases in stratosphere
43
Glaciers
Are only found in warm places
Are fast moving rivers of dirt
Never change the shape of Earth's surface
Can pluck boulders and drop them far way
44
Rocks can change!
A metamorphic can become another kind of metamorphic
Fossils are in igneous rocks
Heat is needed for sedimentary rock formation
Only sedimentary becomes metamorphic with heat and pressure
45
Relative age vs absolute age (pick 2 answers)
relative age is comparing which is younger or older
absolute age is estimating the actual age
The estimated age vs exact age of rocks
relative age is how old your brother or sister is
