Question 8
8.
All the water at and near the surface of the earth, 97% of which is in oceans
biosphere
cryosphere
hydrosphere
atmosphere
Question 9
9.
The continuous process by which water moves from Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back.
carbon cycle
erosion
water scycle
rock cycle
Question 10
10.
The process by which water changes from liquid form to an atmospheric gas (water vapor)
Traspiration
Evaporation
Evacuation
Photosynthesis
Question 11
11.
The process by which moisture is carried through plants and is released to the atmosphere
Photosynthesis
Transpiration
Evaporation
Condensation
Question 12
12.
Physical change in matter from a gas to a liquid .
Evaporation
Respiration
Condensation
Freezing
Question 13
13.
Chemical weathering is typically caused by all of the following EXCEPT:
water
oxygen
acid rain
freezing/thawing
Question 14
14.
Are erosion and weathering dependent upon one another ?
No- they are separate events that occur independently.
Yes-they both need to occur for the cycle to continue.
Question 15
15.
Heat and pressure deep beneath the Earth's surface can change rock to this type of rock.
when water is stored underground
When water creates lakes
when precipitation flows into rivers and lakes
Question 16
16.
What is the process called that allows water to seep back into the Earth?
Discharge
Infiltration
Runoff
Condensation
Question 17
17.
Whats the
difference
between weathering and erosion?
They are the same thing
One is constructive
Weathering is breaking down, erosion is moving
Erosion is breaking down, weathering is moving
Question 18
18.
Which of the following is NOT one of the three types of rock?
Igneous
Metamorphic
Magma
Sedimentary
Question 19
19.
The rock cycle includes all of the steps EXCEPT which of the following?
magma or lava cools
Sediments melt deep beneath Earth’s surface.
Extreme heat and pressure form metamorphic rocks.
Rocks @ Earth's surface are broken down into smaller pieces.
Question 20
20.
What is correct order of the processes responsible for the formation of sedimentary rocks?
erosion, weathering, compaction, cementation, deposition.
compaction, cementation, deposition, weathering, erosion
deposition, cementation, compaction, erosion, weathering
weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation.
Question 21
21.
Which of the following weathering processes involves the constant freezing & thawing of water?
Unloading
exfoliation
Frost Wedging
spheroidal weathering
Question 22
22.
The water cycle is :
distribution of drinking water on Earth.
unending circulation of Earth’s water supply.
the recycling of water after industrial use.
the evaporation of water from Earth’s surface.
Question 23
23.
Balance in the water cycle means that
average annual rain over Earth ='s amount of H20 evaporates
water that falls to Earth only enters oceans.
faliing rain ='s same weight as condesnse clouds.
water evaporates from earth surface and then stays forever in atmosphere
Question 24
24.
Groundwater is found underground in the zone of:
aeration
porostiy
sediment
saturation
Question 25
25.
During a change in state, energy is transferred in the form of
motion
heat
moisture
light
Question 26
26.
Which of the following processes describes how vegetation influences precipitation?
Photosythesis
transpiration
evaporation
condensation
