EARTH SYSTEMS REVIEW Week of Jan. 11-15 A. Soil 1 B. Soil 2 C. Soil 3 D. Soil 4 The weather map shows the passage of a cold front. According to the information on the maps, the cold front seems to be moving — A from areas of higher temperatures B from the west to the east C away from the Gulf of Mexico D toward the Rocky Mountains The diagram shows part of the water cycle. Which part of the diagram shows precipitation? AW BX CY DZ Rocks in the stream that the students were studying were smoother than rocks found in a nearby stream. The smoother rocks were most likely found in a stream where, over a long period of time, the water — A was deeper B appeared cloudy C was cold D moved faster This diagram shows layers of soil and rock from below a forest floor. Which of these conclusions is best supported by the information found in this diagram? A A body of water once covered the area. B The forest was made up of oak trees. C Fish were the first animals in the area. D The area was planted with trees one year ago. 2 The picture shows a kind of glacier that can be many meters thick. In this landscape, which of the following is most directly affected by this kind of glacier? F G H J The average height of plants on the mountainside The shape of clouds that form above the glacier The average mass of trees near the lake The shape of the valley between the mountains Fossil Fuels 3 Alternative Energy Sources Oil Wood Natural Gas Wind ? Sun Which of these best completes this chart? F Water G Soil H Coal J Sand 4 Which of these is a renewable resource? F G H J Tree Coal Oil Wind 9 Which of these would best model how the sun’s energy warms Earth? F A pot of water boiling G A heat lamp keeping food hot H An oven baking bread J A spoon getting hot when stirring soup 15 Three soil samples were tested to see how much water each could hold. The same amount of water was added to each funnel of soil. Very few plants would probably grow in the clay because the water would — A B C D fail to reach the roots of the plants become too cloudy run through the soil too quickly become poisonous to the plants Types of Soil 18 Amount of Water Collected (mL) Potting soil 220 Sandy soil 250 Gravel 295 Clay 225 Similar containers were filled with different types of soil. Holes were poked into the bottom of each container, and 300 milliliters of water were added. The water that dripped out was collected and measured. According to the information in the table, which type of soil retained water best? A B C D Potting soil Sandy soil Gravel Clay 19 The energy that causes seawater to form water vapor comes from — F the clouds G underwater mountains H chemical reactions in the sea J the sun 21 Which of these supplies the energy that drives the water cycle? F G H J The sun The planets The oceans The moon 31 Most canyons are the result of erosion caused by — A B C D a river a volcano a hurricane an earthquake
