doesn’t move at all

travels to the shore and

must returns to the source

can only travel a specific distance

Sometimes, in order to understand a concept that is important, models are used to help us visualize it.
The movement of waves shown below can be modeled by using ...

a ball bouncing

a ball rolling down a ramp

a rope tied to a door

dropping a rock in a pail

Most waves are caused by the wind. The stronger the wind, the bigger the wave. The most damage caused by a wave comes from ...

the breaking of the waves just before the shore

rising and falling as it approaches boats

its up and down motion on the high seas

the crashing of the waves onto the shoreline

While waiting for the lake to become calm enough for water skiing, you and your friend sit on the boat dock and watch the waves. Which of the following observations about waves would NOT be correct?

waves are the force pushing debris toward the shore

waves pass under the boats but do not move them forward

waves move in only one direction

waves increase in height as they apporach the beach

While visiting the ocean for the first time, you notice that the water's level is lower in the afternoon that it was when you fiorst arrived. This change in sea level is caused by...

the gravitaional action of the moon on the ocean

the rotation of earth and the moon

the gravitional action of the sun on the ocean

the gravitaional action of the sun, the rotation of the Earth and the pull of the moon

Which of the following statements about tides is correct?

there is a single predictable tide each day

the tides occur at the same time each day

there are two equal-sized tides each day

there are two different-sized tides each day

Hot springs are able to dissolve more minerals than ordinary surface water because as temperature increases the solubility (the ability to be dissolved, especially in water) of substances also increases. Once it reaches the surface, the hot springs cannot hold as much material in the water, so this happens ...

erosion

dissolving

striation

sedimentation

Which of the folowwing statements about hot springs is NOT correct?

hot water from deep within the Earth erodes surface rocks

as hot spring water cools, it deposits sediments on the surface

water in hot springs orginates from deep underground

hot springs bring dissolved sediments up from within the Earth

Depostion and chemical weathering are terms used to describe forces that change Earth's surface. Which of the statements below would NOT describe these two forces?

a river's sediment load settles out to form a sand bar

rainwater and streams dissolve limestone and form caves

rocks wear away from the mechanical action of water

slow-moving rivers have mud and silt on bottoms

Use the illustration of Stream Characteristics to help you answer the question.

Glaciers gouge huge areas of the land and then reshape the land by the materials they collect. Some of the features include large inland lakes, where the glacier has dug a huge hole and filled it with water. These inland lakes are called ...

esker lakes

reservoirs

bucket lakes

Glaciers move and change the landscape as they move. A glacier that is melting will leave rocks and debris it has picked up when it was growing. The melting glacier is called ...

updraft

downdraft

rain shadow

snow shelter

Currents can also affect climate. Surface currents can carry warm air or cold air depending on where the current is coming from. Currents coming from the Arctic region like the Labrador current carry cold air, and that is partly what can account for Labrador’s cold climate. Scotland gets warm air from the North Atlantic Current because it comes from ...

The Hawaiian islands

The North Pole

Canada

The Equator

What organization does this symbol represent?

In the movie, "The Day after Tomorrow" a large chunk of the Larsen B Ice shelf was separated from the main ice shelf and was released into the Pacific Ocean and affected the North Atlantic Current. Explain why ice would affect the ocean in this way.
