4 Plant Growth (cm) SAMPLE B 18 Plant Growth vs. Time Day The graph shows how much a plant grew over four days. According to the graph, how many centimeters did the plant grow between Day 1 and Day 4? Record and bubble in your answer on the answer grid below.. Page 2

5 A. Layer of silt B. Layer of sand C. Layer of plastic sea animals and dirt D. Layer of sediment 1 Which of the following correctly sequences the formation of sedimentary rocks shown in the model above, beginning with the oldest layer? A Layers A, B, C, D B Layers B, A, C, D C Layers C, B, A, D D Layers D, C, B, A 2 The Earth is a system that has many structures and processes that interact. A sudden change in wind direction, air temperature, and cloud cover on the Earth most likely would signal a change in F climate G landforms H seasons J weather Page 3

6 3 The Earth, Moon, and Sun constantly change their positions in relation to each other. Which choice below shows where a student might draw a " " that would represent the people on Earth experiencing night? moon moon A sun C sun earth earth moon moon B sun D sun earth earth Page 4

7 4 Student groups made four graphs to show the amount and type of energy used in the United States. Which graph correctly shows that coal makes up approximately 1 of all the 2 energy used? F % 3.2% 15.3% 8.3% 2.4% 52% H % 15.3% 51.0% 2.4% 8.3% 19.7% 0 Electricity from Moving Water Solar Energy Petroleum Natural Gas Coal Other Renewables Electricity from Moving Water Solar Energy Petroleum Natural Gas Coal Other Renewables Other Renewables 2% Electricity from Moving Water 8.3% Coal 19.7% Other Renewables 3.2% Electricity from Moving Water 15.3% G Coal, 51% Solar Energy 19.7% J Natural Gas 8.3% Petroleum 3.2% Petroleum 2.4% Natural Gas 15.3% Solar Energy 51.0% Page 5

8 5 A student wonders why rainwater forms deep ruts on a hillside covered with dirt, while a nearby hillside covered with wild flowers does not develop deep ruts. To investigate, the student performs a test by spraying water on a mound of dirt planted with wild flowers. The most likely hypothesis for this investigation is that if rain falls on a A dirt-covered hillside, the soil particles will pack down B hillside covered in wild flowers, the roots will help to hold the soil in place C dirt-covered hillside, the soil will clump together due to the water D hillside covered in wild flowers, the soil will be eroded from the hill Page 6

9 A student turned in the following report to his teacher. The Effects of Oceans on Land Oceans cause many changes to the land. The most common change is the wave action which causes beach erosion. There are currents in the ocean which move warm water into areas close to land. The air over the water also flows over the land warming the land. Snowfall in San Antonio is a frequent change in January caused by oceans. Another change the ocean has on land occurs when we experience high and low tides. 6 Which statement in the student's report is NOT correct as an effect of the oceans on land? F The most common change is the wave action which causes beach erosion. G The air over the water also flows over the land warming the land. H Snowfall in San Antonio is a frequent change in January caused by oceans. J Another change the ocean has on land occurs when we experience high and low tides. Page 7

10 Use the topographic map below to answer Question 7. Hobbes Creek W N S E Legend 312 X 0 Summit 2 Miles 4 Miles Based upon the map, how was Hobbes Creek probably formed? A By an earthquake B By erosion C By a volcano D By sediment Page 8

11 Mountain Range A Appalachian Mountains Mountain Range B Rocky Mountains 8 Compare the general shape of the two mountain ranges above. What process or action could cause Mountain Range B to become like Mountain Range A over time? F Weathering G Sedimentation H Hurricanes J Deposition Comparison of Earth and Moon Earth Moon Craters Yes Yes Mountains Yes Yes Plains Yes Yes Quakes Yes Yes Rocks Yes Yes Volcanoes Yes Yes Water Yes No Weather Yes No Wind Yes No 9 According to the evidence in the chart, the Earth and Moon are most similar in A atmosphere B weather C forces D landforms Page 9

12 10 What is a limitation of the landform model presented above? F The model does not have contour lines on it. G The area is a map of many elevated landforms. H The model is a topographical map of a ski area. J The area is presented from a bird's eye view only. Page 10

13 Here is the procedure for a science experiment. Use this procedure to answer Question Punch a small hole in the bottom of a cup. Place a filter paper over the hole. 2 Fill the cup with soil. 3 Plug the hole with your finger. Add 100ml of water to fill the cup. 4 Hold the cup carefully over a 100 ml graduated cylinder. Place the graduated cylinder inside a basin. 5 Position the hole in the cup over the top of the graduated cylinder. Remove your finger from the hole, allowing the water to drain into the graduated cylinder. 6 Record how much water is collected in the graduated cylinder. 7 Repeat the procedure using different soil samples. 11 By running this experiment, a student would be able to A figure out the mass of different soils B figure out the volume of humus in different soils C compare how quickly water runs through different soils D compare the volume of water that different soils can hold Page 11

14 12 Many gardeners make compost piles to fertilize their plants. They mix together dried leaves, grass clippings, dirt, and old vegetables. Gardeners mix the compost regularly to make sure air gets to the bottom of the heap. When compost is added to the soil, a gardener hopes the compost will provide plants with F sunlight G oxygen H nitrogen J water 13 Constructive and destructive forces both reshape the surface of the Earth. The main difference between the two is A destructive forces build land up to form new landforms and constructive forces take land away by depositing it in rivers, oceans, and streams B constructive forces destroy just about anything on the Earth's surface including mountains, volcanoes, and canyons C destructive forces continue to build land up, especially around ocean shore areas inhabited by human beings and businesses D constructive forces affect the earth's surface by building it up and destructive forces affect the earth's surface by breaking down landforms Page 12
