Many animals who live where it snows have fur. Explain how white fur makes surviving in the snowy environment easier.

• Orange fur make them easier to spot.

• White fur allows them to better blend in with their habitat.

• The color of fur doesn't effect an animals chance of survival.

• White fur is cooler then other fur colors.

Explain how the fossil record is evidence for the scientific theory of evolution.

• It proves what future species of animals will look like in the future.

• It shows that extinct animal have become a fossil through selection.

• It shows that extinct species share similarities with current species.

• It allows scientist to compare fossils from the past to undiscovered fossils.

The pictures are from different types of animals. What can be said about them that is true?

• They all have different bones, which implies that they all share a different ancestor.

• They all have different bones, which implies that they all share a common ancestor.

• They all have similar bones, which implies that they all share a different ancestor.

• They all have similar bones, which implies that they all share a common ancestor.

This map shows where earthquakes have been detected in the past 10 years. Many earthquakes have been detected in the area of the earth that surrounds the Pacific Ocean. Which claim best supports why earthquakes are common in this area?

• Earthquakes cause cracks in the tectonic plates

• Earthquakes only occur in the middle of a tectonic plate

• Tectonic plates break apart at fault lines

• Plate movements cause earthquakes near plate boundaries

This image shows the plate boundaries in bold black lines and the ring of fire in red. What is the relationship between the boundaries and the most common area of active volcanoes?

• Most volcanic zones on Earth are in areas of colder climates

• Most volcanic zones on Earth are focused on the antarctic place

• Most volcanic zones on Earth are near plate boundaries

• Most volcanic zones on Earth are near the southern part of the world
