True or false: Mercury, venus Earth and mars are all considered gas planets.

• True
• False

What are two things needed for a planet to be habitable?

• Energy and oxygen
• Liquid water and energy
• Animals and liquid water
• oxygen and animals

After the flowing water model was completed what did the evidence prove?

• When landforms on different rocky planets look similar, it is evidence that they may have been formed by the same geologic process.
• Landforms can provide evidence about the past because they remain after the geologic processes that formed them stop happening.
• Landforms come in all shapes and sizes
• Landforms are proof that there once was life on Mars

Sahil watched a demonstration in which a scientist combined two substances in a sealed container and analyzed the results. The ending substances did not look the same as the starting substances.Sahil was given a diagram with the repeating groups of atoms that make up the starting substances, plus information about the properties of the starting and ending substances. He created a model of the repeating groups of atoms that might make up the two ending substances. What is incorrect about this model?

• The colors are switched
• Everything is correct
• There is one less atom in the products than in the reactants
• There are more atoms in the products than in the reactants

which statement best describer wht Earth's outer layer is like UNDERNEATH the Surface in the image?

• Underneath both the soil and the ocean, Earth’s outer layer is made of sand and water.
• Underneath both the soil and the ocean, Earth’s outer layer is made of hard, solid rock.
• Underneath the soil, Earth’s outer layer is made of hard, solid rock. Underneath the ocean, Earth’s outer layer is made of sand.
• Underneath the soil, Earth’s outer layer is made of water.

Dr. Raisa and her team of geologists have been studying GPS data that shows that two plates moved apart. Which diagram shows WHAT HAPPENED between the two plates as they moved away from each other?

• Diagram A: A new plate from underneath filled in the gap that was created by the plates moving apart.
• Diagram B: Sand and dirt filled in the gap that was created by the plates moving apart.
• Diagram C: Ocean water filled in the gap that was created by the plates moving apart.
• Diagram D: Soft, solid rock from underneath the plates rose and hardened, adding solid rock to the edges of both plates.

Fossil remains of Lystrosaurus (an extinct four-legged animal) have been discovered in India and South Africa. When they were living, all the Lystrosaurus LIVED TOGETHER on land, and they could not swim. However, now there is an ocean between the Lystrosaurus fossils. WHAT could explain how these fossils got so far apart?

• India and South Africa are parts of different plates. The plates slowly moved far apart as soft, solid rock from underneath got added to the edges of the plates over millions of years.
• India and South Africa are parts of different plates. The plates floated away from each other across the ocean.
• India and South Africa are parts of different plates. The plates slowly moved apart as new plates from underneath got added between them over millions of years.
• India and South Africa are parts of different plates. The plates were sometimes pushed far apart by earthquakes, and soft, solid rock from underneath got added to the edges of the plates.
