1. QuestionMultiple choice

Which process moves water vapor from plants into the atmosphere?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Transpiration.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Transpiration is the release of water vapor from plant leaves.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Transpiration is the release of water vapor from plant leaves.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

What is a major cause of ocean tides?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is The gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Gravity from the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun affects ocean water levels.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Gravity from the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun affects ocean water levels.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

What evidence supports the idea that tectonic plates move?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Matching fossils and rock structures on continents now far apart.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Matching evidence across separated continents supports the idea that they were once connected and moved.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Matching evidence across separated continents supports the idea that they were once connected and moved.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

What usually happens at a divergent plate boundary?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Plates move apart and new crust can form..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: At divergent boundaries, plates separate and magma can cool to form new crust.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

At divergent boundaries, plates separate and magma can cool to form new crust.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Which process changes water vapor into liquid water?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Condensation.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Condensation occurs when water vapor cools and becomes liquid water.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Condensation occurs when water vapor cools and becomes liquid water.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

What is one difference between weather and climate?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Weather is short term, while climate describes long-term patterns..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Weather describes current conditions, while climate summarizes patterns over a long period.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Weather describes current conditions, while climate summarizes patterns over a long period.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Why can burning fossil fuels affect Earth climate?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is It adds greenhouse gases that can trap more thermal energy..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases can increase the amount of thermal energy retained in the atmosphere.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases can increase the amount of thermal energy retained in the atmosphere.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

Which resource is nonrenewable on a human time scale?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Coal.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Coal forms over millions of years, so it is not replaced quickly enough for human use.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Coal forms over millions of years, so it is not replaced quickly enough for human use.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the main source of energy driving most processes in the water cycle?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is The Sun.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Solar energy causes evaporation and powers many atmospheric and surface processes.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Solar energy causes evaporation and powers many atmospheric and surface processes.

10. QuestionMultiple choice

How does erosion differ from weathering?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Weathering breaks material down, while erosion moves it..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Weathering breaks rock into smaller pieces, while erosion transports those pieces.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.
