Transcription

1 Base your answers to questions 56 through 58 on the two topographic maps below. A grid system of numbers and letters appears along the edge of each map to help locate features. Both maps show elevations in fee above sea level. 56. On map B, what is the approximate straight-line distance from the center of the X within grid area B-11 to the center of the X within grid area H-ll? 1) 0.3 mi 2) 0.6 mi 3) 1.2 mi 4) 1.5 mi

2 57. Which statement correctly describes one difference between these maps? 1) Map A has a greater relief (elevation change between high and low locations) than map B. 2) Map A represents a much larger surface area than map B. 3) Map A shows more contour lines than map B. 4) Map A generally shows gentler slopes than map B. 58. Which cross section best represents the topographic profile along the straight line from point Y to point Z on map B? 1) 3) 2) 4) 59. The diagram below represents a beaker of water that is being heated. As the colored dye pellet dissolves, the dye will show the movement of water in the beaker. On the diagram, draw arrows in the water to show the direction the colored dye will move when the water is heated as shown. 60. Which diagram best represents the convection currents in a container of water when the bottom of the container is heated at the center? 1) 3) 2) 4)

3 Base your answers to questions 61 and 62 on the diagram below, which represents an exaggerated view of Earth revolving around the Sun. Letters A, B, C, and D represent Earth s location in its orbit on the first day of each of the four seasons. Midterm Review 61. Earth s rate of revolution around the Sun is approximately 1) 1 per day 3) 15 per hour 2) 360 per day 4) 23.5 per hour 62. Which observation provides the best evidence that Earth revolves around the Sun? 1) Stars seen from Earth appear to circle Polaris. 2) Earth s planetary winds are deflected by the Coriolis effect. 3) The change from high ocean tide to low ocean tide is a repeating pattern. 4) Different star constellations are seen from Earth at different times of the year.

4 63. Base your answer to the following question on the diagram below, which shows two possible sequences in the life cycle of stars, beginning with their formation from nebular gas clouds in space. According to the diagram, the life-cycle path followed by a star is determined by the star s initial 1) mass and size 3) luminosity and color 2) temperature and origin 4) luminosity and structure 64. The diagram below shows the average distance between the Sun and Earth drawn to a scale of 1 centimeter = 100,000,000 kilometers. Using this same scale, place a small dot representing Jupiter along the line to indicate how far Jupiter would be from the Sun, and label the dot "Jupiter."

5 65. Base your answer to the following question on the diagram below, which represents an asteroid's elliptical orbit around the Sun. The dashed line is the major axis of the ellipse. Place a circle, 0, on the orbital path where the velocity of the asteroid would be the least.

6 Base your answers to questions 66 through 68 on the topographic map below. The map shows a portion of the Taterskill Creek flowing past the towns of Lawson and Glenton. The shaded area is Taterskill Creek. The arrows in the creek show its direction of flow. Points A, B, and C are locations on the map. Points A and B are connected with a reference line. Mercado Dam is located 32 miles upstream from Lawson. In the remote possibility of a failure of the Mercado Dam, the Taterskill Creek is expected to rise to the 600-foot contour line in the vicinity of the two towns. 66. On the grid provided above, construct a topographic profile from point A to point B, following the directions below. a Write numbers along the vertical axis to show an appropriate scale for the elevations crossed by line AB. Your number scale should label at least half of the lines along the vertical axis and should not extend beyond the grid provided. b Plot the elevation along line AB by marking an X at each point where a contour line is crossed. Point A and point B have been plotted for you. c Connect all the Xs to complete a profile that accurately reflects the elevation of the land. 67. If Mercado Dam ruptured, the first floodwater would take exactly 4 hours to reach the town of Lawson. In the space provided, calculate the average rate of travel for the leading edge of the floodwater. Label your answer with the correct units. 68. State a possible elevation for point C on the map.

7 69. Base your answer to the following question on the three western New York State snowfall maps below and on your knowledge of Earth science. The three maps represent three different winter seasons. The isolines show the total inches of snowfall received each winter season. Some western New York State counties are labeled on each map. The dotted line AB has been drawn on the winter season map. On the map above titled Winter Season, that shows the total inches of snowfall received at various locations for the winter season, draw the 120-inch snowfall isoline.

8

9 70. Base your answer to the following question on the map and graph below and your knowledge of Earth science. The map shows the length of the growing season in New York State, expressed in days. The growing season is the average number of days between the last frost in spring and the first frost in fall. The graph line shows the relationship between the latitudes of Riverhead, New York; Albany, New York; and Massena, New York; and the length of the growing season at these three locations. The data for Oswego, New York, have been plotted separately on the graph. Explain why the location of Oswego causes it to have a growing season longer than other cities at the same latitude.
