read the paragraph in the picture. Which statement about planetary impact craters in the early formation of the solar system is BEST supported by this theory?

• All planets likely experienced a few collisions that resulted in impact craters.

• All planets likely experienced many collisions that resulted in impact craters

• The Jovian Planets formed before others, which led to more collisions and impact craters.

• The Terrestrial Planets formed before others, which led to fewer collisions and impact craters

Read the paragraph in the picture and answer which claim is correct based on the information in the paragraph?

• Earthquakes only impact people immediately after they occur.

• Long-term negative effects of an earthquake do not impact population zone

• Natural hazards can significantly alter the size of human populations in areas

• Natural hazards do not affect the availability of natural resources

Read the paragraph and answer what data should scientist collected to understand how changes in the variable (x) affect the size of the rainforest in acres (y)

• Scientists should collect data on the amount of tourism in two different areas of the rainforest and correlate it with data on the growth of the rainforest in those areas.

• Scientists should collect data on the growth or decline of agriculture in the rainforest and correlate it with the number of acres of rainforest in those areas

• Scientists should collect data on the type of crops grown in two different areas of the rainforest and correlate it with data on the growth of the rainforest in those areas.

• Scientists should collect data on the temperature in two different areas of the rainforest and correlate it with data on the growth of the rainforest in those areas

Which TWO correctly describe processes of the water cycle occurring in the image?

• Water molecules cool on the lid and form a liquid through sublimation

• Water molecules are condensing on the lid and forming liquid precipitation

• Water is heated in the kettle, turning it from a liquid to a gas through evaporation.

• Water is heated in the kettle and released through transpiration, forming water vapor.

• Water molecules are warmed on the lid, where gravity forces them to fall to the beaker through infiltration.

Why do the areas along the "Ring of Fire" experience many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes?

• There is strong tidal activity along the coasts

• There are numerous tectonic plate boundaries.

• There are powerful ocean currents in the Pacific

• There is warm and cool water mixing in the Pacific

Which BEST describes how volcanic eruptions can form new islands?

• dust from volcanic eruptions settles on the surface of water, forming large rocks

• volcanic eruptions cause earthquakes that break landforms into separate islands

• underwater volcanoes erupt, releasing magma that hardens and builds up over time

• craters from previous volcanic eruptions erode, allowing water to surround the landforms
