A soccer ball is rolling across a field and slows down due to friction. Which of Newton’s Laws best explains this?

• Newton’s First Law – An object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an external force.

• Newton’s Second Law – Force equals mass times acceleration.

• Newton’s Third Law – For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

• None of Newton’s Laws apply to this example.

Fossils of the same ancient species were found on the coasts of South America and Africa. What does this evidence suggest?

Which statement best describes how plate tectonics cause volcanic eruptions?

• Earthquakes at transform boundaries increase pressure, forcing magma upward.

• Magma rises when plates pull apart at divergent boundaries or subduction zones force it upward.

• Volcanic eruptions occur only when two plates slide past each other.

• Volcanoes form randomly and are unrelated to plate tectonics.
