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. Rock from interplanetary space found on earth's surface






2. The rate at which work is done

8. Energy cannot be created or destroyed - but it can be converted from one form to another






9. The process by which gas reverts back into liquid phase






10. Covergent boundary where oceanic litosphere is being subducted






11. These types of sedimentary rock forms from the remains of plants and animals. These rocks are rough and loosely packed. The most common example of organic sedimentary rock is coal - which is burned to produce steam for electricity. There is also a re

19. Saturating a slope with water decreases the strength of the slope materials






20. Col front moving through forces warm air up - causing condensation of water and formation of thunderheads






21. Due to the earth's tilt about it's rotational axis - the sun is closer and the days are longer






22. Four groups of plants






23. In order to measure the density of an object - you need to know it's mass and volume. Density = Mass/Volume. For nonregular shapes like rocks - you would find the volume by filling a beaker with water to a given level - add the rock and see where the






24. A roller coaster at the top of the hill - it is at its maximum of
