Subjects : cset, science
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Chemical means (acid rain) or physical means (wind - rain - and ice






2. Water that goes into the ground






3. A portion of the rigid crust that moves






4. Carbonization (carbon dioxide) - Hydration - Oxidation (rust)






5. What galaxy is Earth in?






6. The Moon is between the Earth and the sun; The moon blocks light from the sun so the sun doesn't reach Earth






7. Is one that can be reused - regrown - recycled - or is not consumed with use. These are resources that can be conserved. ex. solar energy - hydroelectric and wind power - and geothermal energy






8. Based on the Earth's revolution around the sun






9. Area of volcanoes surrounding the Pacific plate. The subduction plate movement causes the production of volcanoes. Westcoast of the US and the East Coast of Asia






10. Days are based on the Earth's rotation on its axis






11. Chunks off rocks






12. Warm water rises and leaves a low pressure - causing...






13. Divergent - convergiant - and transform






14. A nonstop movement of water between Earth's surface and the air






15. Water soaks into the ground. Water collects on Earth's surface. Sometimes it runs off before collecting. The effect is lakes - ponds - oceans - rivers and streams






16. Two plates colliding. One plate moves under the other plate - usually producing mountains






17. Inner Core (solid metal - nickel - and iron) - Outer Core (liquid metal - magnetic force) - Mantle (rock) - Crust (thin layer)






18. Topsoil - Subsoil - Parent rock - Bedrock






19. Liquid changes to a gas; caused bysun heating up bodies of water. The liquid water becomes vapor (gas)






20. Sea - floor spreading - the 'puzzle piece' argument and fossil records






21. What causes our solar system to orbit the sun?






22. Water falling to the Earth; cloud droplets become to heavy. They fall - the effect is percipitation (rain - snow - sleet - hail)






23. There are similarities of living species and identified fossils found in the continents of today that are the same. Reptiles in South America and Africa. Fossils of the same plants in India and Australia. Unique variety of garden snail found in easte






24. Based on its mass and other factors it will become either a brown dwarf - white dwarf - neutron star - nova - or a black hole






25. When the moon and sun are pulling at perpendicular angles; less extreme tides






26. Everything that surrounds a star (sun); its made up of numerous bodies which orbit the sun due to centrifugal force






27. Are caused by the Earth's tilt on its axis. As it revolves around the sun - the tilt causes each hemisphere to receive more direct exposure at certain times in its orbit






28. Chemical breakdown of minerals






29. Begin as huge clouds of dust and other particles; they form from the gravitational collapse of a diffuse interstellar cloud






30. Raising and lowering of the water level






31. What does High Pressure usually indicate?






32. Gas becomes a liquid vapor rises into air and cools. Water vapor (gas) changes into liquid water (clouds)






33. Magma cools to produce igneous rock which can undergo more heat and pressure to become metamorphic rock - On the surface of the Earth - igneous rock which undergos weathering can become sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rock can be buried which can cause






34. Occur when the shadow of the Earth or Moon is cast onto the other body






35. Igneous (burning molten rock magma turns to lava when it reaches the surface - hardens very quickly causing imperfections) ex. granite - Metamorphic (baked by pressure underground) ex. diamond (pure) - Sedimentary - ex. sand - sandstone






36. When the moon and sun are in alignment; both working to pull on Earth; extreme tides






37. Barometric Pressure






38. Created by the wind - which stirs the ocean's surface over greater distances






39. From fire (ignite) the formation of igneous rocks occurs when hot molten rock cools or solidifies. Igneous rock can be produced deep in the Earth from magma or on the surface of the Earth from lava






40. Spiral disk with several long arms; Earth is in one of the arms






41. What does Low Pressure usually indicate?






42. Chunks of rocks that strike a planet






43. Why does the moon have craters?






44. Are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth; moon has greater effect on the tides because its closer than the sun






45. Water enters cracks of rocks - water freezes and expands - causing rocks to break into pieces.






46. Arctic Air pushes down causing colder water (Pacific Coast) - Tropical Air comes up from the Gulf stream causing warmer water (Coast of Florida)






47. Hot water rises and takes particles with it - causing...






48. Occurs when an older oceanic plate is pushed unmder a younger oceanic plate. The shifting plates can cause earthquakes - volcanoes - and mountains






49. Two plates sliding past each other; up and down and back and forth (San Andrea's Fault) transform faults occur where plates do not move under or away from each other






50. My very educated mama just served us nachos - Mercury - Venus - Earth - Mars - Jupiter - Saturn - Uranus - Neptune
