Unit 4: The following picture shows a foliated rock. This is an example of what type of rock?

• Extrusive Igneous

• Metamorphic

• Clastic Sedimentary

• Coal

Unit 2: Why is the climate at the equator warmer than the climate at the earth's poles?

• The area around the poles is cooled by large icebergs and glaciers.

• The area around the equator is slightly closer to the sun than the area around the poles

• The area around the equator receives more direct sunlight.

• The area around the poles is cooled from air forced there by the earth's rotation

Unit 3: Which statement best supports the big bang theory?

Unit 3: A massive star, 5 times the size of the sun, becomes a supergiant. When it dies, a supernova results. What might happen after the supernova explosion?

• Dust and gas particles will remain behind and cool, forming a black dwarf

• Hydrogen fusion will occur, forming a neutron star

• The supernova will expand, forming a giant protostar

• Its core will contract due to gravity, forming a black hole

Unit 7: This image demonstrates that
