OH TOODLES EXAM REVIEW #1 FOR SEMESTER 1

In Jacksonville, heavy amounts of rainfall can take place during hurricane season. Which of the following represents a possible interaction between the geosphere and the hydrosphere during a hurricane?

• The high winds pick up small objects, causing damage to buildings.​

• The clouds contain high amounts of humidity in the form of water.

• The flood water will wash away sand and soil from the beach.

• The plants and animals will lose their habitats due to wind.

What are Scientific Models?

• Models are designed exactly to make a particular part/feature of the world easier to understand.

• Models are a representation or description designed to make a particular part/feature of the world easier to understand.

• Models are not designed to make a particular part/feature of the world easier to understand.

When a scientist does the same experiment or process multiple times to compare results.

• Replication

• Repetition

• scientific investigation

When different scientists do the same experiment or process to compare results with each other.

• Replication

• Repetition

• scientific investigation

How is a scientific investigation different from a scientific experiment?

• A scientific investigation is different from a scientific experiment because YOU did not change or test any variables to investigate.

• A scientific investigation is different from a scientific experiment because YOU did change or test any variables to investigate.

• A scientific investigation is different from a scientific experiment because you changed only one variable to investigate.

Sandy normally visits the beach with her family on Sundays. She has noticed over the past few weeks that the size of the sand dunes has decreased. Which of the following interactions of spheres would best explain what Sandy has been observing?

• An interaction between the atmosphere and geosphere has caused sand to be removed from the dunes through the destructive process of weathering, then erosion.

• An interaction between the hydrosphere and the geosphere has caused the dunes to become larger through the destructive process of deposition.

• An interaction between the hydrosphere and the geosphere has caused sand from the ocean to move onto the dunes through the constructive process of deposition.

• An interaction between the biosphere and the geosphere has caused the sand dunes to get larger as children build sandcastles on them.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT RESPONSE THAT EXPLAINS THE IMAGE

• As the ice melts, the rock returns to its original state.

• Gravity pulls the ice and parts of the rock to the ground.

• The repetition of freezing and thawing carries pieces of rock away.

• Water expands as it freezes, pushing the two sides of the rock apart.
