Science Post-Test Review

An unknown rock sample, X, formed from weathering, erosion, and compaction. Unknown rock sample X is

• a metamorphic rock.

• a sedimentary rock.

• an extrusive igneous rock.

• an intrusive igneous rock.

What type of winds does X represent on the model?

• the easterlies, which are winds that move from east to west carrying cool air from the poles to the equator

• the westerlies, which are winds that move from west to east carrying air warmed by the Sun from the equator toward the poles

• the trade winds, which are winds that form along the poles, blowing from east to west and carrying cool, high-pressure air toward the equator

• the doldrums, which are winds that form along the equator, blowing from west to east and carrying warm, low-pressure air toward the poles

What type of winds does Z represent on the diagram?

• An area of high-speed winds that carry air superheated by the Sun along the equator, known as trade winds.

• An area of low-speed winds that carry hurricanes from the coast of Africa toward the United States, known as westerlies.

• A region of high pressure along the equator warmed by energy from the Sun, prone to violent storms, known as Ferrell cells.

• A region of calm or absent winds and low pressure caused by intense solar energy along the equator, known as doldrums.
