Based on the energy pyramid shown above, which of the following statements is correct? If the hawk population increased, the frog population would also increase. All the animals shown on the energy pyramid consume grasses and grains. Grasshoppers and locusts can obtain energy from producers or consumers. Available energy decreases as it is transferred from one level to another.

Cherie observes the Moon in the phase shown below Cherie observes the Moon in the phase shown below. If Cherie continues to observe the Moon, which of the following phases will she see next? A) B) C) D)

Between the 90-minute and 120-minute time period, Darla- Sped up Slowed down Stopped completely Changed directions

Which statement about unbalanced forces is correct? Unbalanced forces change how and where an object moves. Unbalanced forces always have a net force less than zero. Unbalanced forces are always caused by friction and gravity. Unbalanced forces affect the direction but not the speed of an object’s movement.

On which part of the island is the steepest slope? Northeast Northwest Southwest Southeast

The relative positions of Earth, the Moon, and the Sun determine the Moon and Sun’s gravitational pull on the planet. For this reason, during which phases of the Moon do the lowest tides (neap tides) occur? First quarter and last quarter Full moon and new moon New moon and first quarter Waxing crescent and waning crescent

Earth completes one rotation on its axis about every 24 hours Earth completes one rotation on its axis about every 24 hours. What would be the most likely result if Earth completed one rotation on its axis every 12 hours? Earth would cycle through the four seasons more quickly. Some places on Earth would experience fewer hours of daylight. Earth would cycle through periods of daylight and darkness more quickly. Some places on Earth would experience fewer hours of darkness.

Based on the diagram shown above and what you know about food webs, which of the following conclusions is correct? Since organisms withing a food web have several food choices, all the organisms within the food web can survive. Since organisms within a food web are interdependent, the disappearance of one organism within the food web could affect all the organisms within that web. Since both producers and consumers live within a food web, the energy available within the food web remains constant. Since organisms within a food web must compete for food, the disappearance of one organism within the food web helps other organisms within the web to survive.

In science class, students were asked to complete a food web like the one shown below. In which numbered box on the food web should students place autotrophs? Box 1 Box 2 Box 3 Box 4

The thrust from a rocket’s engine lifts the rocket into the air The thrust from a rocket’s engine lifts the rocket into the air. Which of the following best explains why the engine’s thrust lifts the rocket? An object in motion tends to stay in motion; an object at rest tends to stay at rest. The greater an object’s mass, the greater its resistance to a change in motion. For every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. The greater the force applied to an object, the greater the object’s acceleration.

Which of the following bowling balls would have the greatest kinetic energy? A 16-pound bowling ball resting on a ball return at a bowling alley A 14-pound bowling ball rolling down a lane at a speed of 12 miles per hour A 14-pound bowling ball rolling down a lane at a speed of 10 miles per hour A 10-pound bowling ball rolling down a lane at a speed of 12 miles per hour

Fault line Mid-ocean ridge Underground lake Mountain range According to the theory of plate tectonics, different kinds of boundaries form when the edges of different plates meet. The diagram below shows a convergent boundary. When the plates converge, as shown above, they will most likely produce a(n)- Fault line Mid-ocean ridge Underground lake Mountain range

The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June 1 through November 30 every year. Ninety-seven percent of all Atlantic hurricanes happen during this time period. Which of the following best explains why this is true? Fewer cold fronts pass over the Atlantic Ocean during this time period. Cold currents in the Atlantic Ocean are less active during this time period. The waters of the Atlantic Ocean are warmest during this time period. Hurricanes that occur in the Atlantic Ocean can happen only during summer months.

Which of the following is a biotic factor in an ecosystem? Water Sunlight Temperature A rotting log
