The map shows how North America looked approximately 100 million years ago. There are five main areas labeled on the map.

Identify the main areas of North America on the map where people would expect to find 100-million-year-old sedimentary rocks that contain fossils of microscopic ocean organisms.

Based on the data collected for Setup 2, a student made the following claim about the energy of the ball. STUDENT CLAIM: As the ball travels down the ramp the kinetic energy increases and the potential energy stays the same. Which statement best evaluates the student's claim?

• The claim is incorrect because the potential energy increases when the speed of the ball increases.

• The claim is incorrect because the potential energy of the ball is being transferred to kinetic energy as it travels down the ramp.

• The claim is correct because the speed of the ball increases causing the ball to remain in motion as it travels beyond the ramp.

• The claim is correct because the speed of the ball is the same as its kinetic energy, and the speed of the ball increases as it travels down the ramp.
