Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Evaporation.

  1. Read the ILEARN science task: Identify the system, evidence, variables, model, or phenomenon described in the question.
  2. Use the evidence: Evaporation occurs when liquid water gains energy and becomes a gas.
  3. Check the claim: Confirm that the answer is supported by the information in the question and matches the scientific concept.

Evaporation occurs when liquid water gains energy and becomes a gas.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the main source of energy that drives most weather on Earth?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is The Sun.

  1. Read the ILEARN science task: Identify the system, evidence, variables, model, or phenomenon described in the question.
  2. Use the evidence: Solar energy warms Earth unevenly and drives many atmospheric and water-cycle processes.
  3. Check the claim: Confirm that the answer is supported by the information in the question and matches the scientific concept.

Solar energy warms Earth unevenly and drives many atmospheric and water-cycle processes.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which rock forms when layers of sediment are compacted and cemented?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Sedimentary rock.

  1. Read the ILEARN science task: Identify the system, evidence, variables, model, or phenomenon described in the question.
  2. Use the evidence: Compaction and cementation turn sediment into sedimentary rock.
  3. Check the claim: Confirm that the answer is supported by the information in the question and matches the scientific concept.

Compaction and cementation turn sediment into sedimentary rock.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Why do the phases of the Moon occur?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is We see different portions of the Moon’s sunlit half..

  1. Read the ILEARN science task: Identify the system, evidence, variables, model, or phenomenon described in the question.
  2. Use the evidence: The Moon reflects sunlight, and its position changes the portion visible from Earth.
  3. Check the claim: Confirm that the answer is supported by the information in the question and matches the scientific concept.

The Moon reflects sunlight, and its position changes the portion visible from Earth.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the relationship between the Sun and Earth’s seasons?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Earth’s tilt and orbit change the angle and length of sunlight received..

  1. Read the ILEARN science task: Identify the system, evidence, variables, model, or phenomenon described in the question.
  2. Use the evidence: Earth’s tilted axis and orbit change sunlight angle and day length during the year.
  3. Check the claim: Confirm that the answer is supported by the information in the question and matches the scientific concept.

Earth’s tilted axis and orbit change sunlight angle and day length during the year.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

What is one effect of weathering?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Rock is broken into smaller pieces..

  1. Read the ILEARN science task: Identify the system, evidence, variables, model, or phenomenon described in the question.
  2. Use the evidence: Weathering breaks down rock through physical or chemical processes.
  3. Check the claim: Confirm that the answer is supported by the information in the question and matches the scientific concept.

Weathering breaks down rock through physical or chemical processes.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

A region receives very little rainfall for several years. Which event is most likely?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Drought conditions.

  1. Read the ILEARN science task: Identify the system, evidence, variables, model, or phenomenon described in the question.
  2. Use the evidence: A long period of unusually low precipitation is a drought.
  3. Check the claim: Confirm that the answer is supported by the information in the question and matches the scientific concept.

A long period of unusually low precipitation is a drought.

9. QuestionMultiple choice
