CRCT Practice #1

Earth Science

1 A. Physical weathering

Water freezes and Expands (Physical movement)

For chemical : Must have the word Acid or must change the rock to something else

Frost wedging is an example of…

2 B. 15

Number of hours doing dishes

3 C. Low pressure and low density

Warm

Lighter

Less Dense

Cold

Heavier

More Dense

Properties of warm air

Less Pressure More Pressure

4 D. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Oldest (bottom)

Youngest (top)

From oldest to the youngest

5 A. New moon

Solar Eclipse

New moon

Block the SUN

Full moon

6 A. Top Soil

Most Fertile soil

HumusTop Soil

Humus

7 D. Deep within the Earth

Metamorphic rocks most likely forms Heat and Pressure

Heat and pressure is usually deep in the Earth

8 C. The mountain was once below water

Seashells (sea animals) normally live in oceans.

Mountain

Mountain are formed on land and in the oceans

Seashell fossil discovered on top of a mountain, what is a good scientific reason?

start

7 days

14 days

21 days

29 days

9 B. 14

How many day between new and full moon ?

0 days

NewFull

10At which point are the oldest rocks?

Old

New

D. Z

Old

11 D. One year (365 ¼ days)

Winter

Spring

Summer

Fall

One revolution of Earth around the SUN equal to

1 yearSun

12 C. The length of the day would increase

If Earth’s rotation (spin) slowed

Day and Night would take longer.We would see longer days and longer nights.

I would take more time to make one spin

13 A. A

Top Soil, layer A

Which layer contains the humus?

Humus

14 C. Outer Core

Mantel

Outer core

Crust

Inner core Liquid

Iron

Molten Rock

Solid Rock

Solid Iron

Which layer is made up of liquid Iron and Nickel?

15 C. Inner core, outer core, mantle, crust

Mantel

Outer core

Crust

Inner core

Lowest Pressure

Highest Pressure

Highest to the lowest pressures

16 B. Drought

What could happen during long period of low precipitation?

Precipitation = rain, snow, sleet, hail… mostly RAIN

Low Precipitation = Very little rain = Dry

Drought = little or no rain

17 A. Y, W, X, Z

Soil horizons: the correct sequence

Bedrock

Decaying organic matter

Silt and Clay

Rock fragments4

2

3

18 B. Water

Renewable resource

Things that can be used over and over. Things that will not run out

Trees Water Sun Wind.

19 C. Continental Slope

Continental SHELFContinental SLOPE

Continental RISE

What is letter “Y” ?

20 D. Continental drift theory

PANGEA ( Supercontinent )

The continents are moving apart (at the mid-ocean ridges)

What theory do the maps support?

21 D. Winter

Winter

If It is SUMMER in the NORTH, then south is …

Summer

22 C. Choice “C”

How much of the Earth’s SURFACE is COVERED with water

A

DB

C

About 2/3

Equal

Too much land Too much water

23 C. Jupiter Which Planet is it

Earth

Mars

Jupiter

Pluto

1 moon

2 moons

30 -70 moons

3 moons

Gas Giants ( Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, & Neptune)

All have A LOT of moons.

24 D. Coal

Which is NON-renewable ?

Things that cannot be replaced. Once used, it is gone.

CoalWater SoilWind /Air

Renewable Renewable Renewable CANNOT

Things that are burned are NOT renewable

25 D. The moon

Object that is responsible for the tides on Earth

HH

L

L

LL

H

H

26 C. A day would be longer

Time it took the Earth to rotate increased

Time increased = It took longer to rotate

It took more time to spin

It did not say it took longer to go around the Sun

27 D. 40 km/h

What would produce the highest waves

Strongest winds

28 B. Gravity

What is the force at “X” ?

Gravity

Without this force, The planet would fly away

Gravity holds the universe together

29 B.

32 B. Continental plate is colliding with another continental plate

What is occurring in the illustration ?

Collision

The picture does not show any ocean information

ContinentContinent

33 D. The moon would fly away from earth

What would happen to the moon if gravity is no more gravity?

Without gravity, The moon would fly away

34What Percent of the Earth is covered by water?
