2. Earth Science Look at the picture of the water cycle. What part of the cycle does the arrow represent? –A. Oxidation –B. Condensation –C. Precipitation –D. Evaporation

3. TEKS 4.6 Patterns of Change Clouds have different shapes and sizes. The type of clouds that are in the sky help meteorologists predict which of the following? A. how much water will evaporate B. what kind of weather will occur C. how much rain will fall D. what the temperature will be

4. Earth Science The song about the “Itsy-Bitsy Spider” going up the waterspout, getting washed away by all the rain, and having the sun come out and dry up all the rain is an example of: –A. the nitrogen cycle –B. the carbon cycle –C. the water cycle –D. the life cycle

5. Earth Science What causes tides in the oceans to rise and ebb (lower)? A. waves B. currents C. gravitational pull of the moon D. gravitational pull of the earth

6. Earth Science Which of the following is the result of wind and ocean wave action? (TEKS 4.11) A. sand dunes B. tides C. earthquakes D. tsunamis

7. Earth/ Space Science Which of the following is NOT a predictable change? A. phases of the moon B. earthquakes C. seasons D. night and day Explain on paper why each answer is either right or wrong. Give facts as your reasons. Define “predictable.”

8. Earth/ Space Science Which of the following characteristics best describes how the earth and moon are similar? A. Both are the same size. B. Both generate their own heat. C. Both receive/ reflect light from the sun. D. Both have the same weather conditions.

9. Similarities/ Differences Between Earth and Moon Draw a Venn diagram on your paper. Use the words below in the chart. Green = earth and blue = moon. Similarities go in the middle. Craters Wind Rocks Weather Mountains Gravity Water Erosion Air Dust

10. Earth Science (TEKS 5.11) Which of the following is a rapid process that changes the surface of the earth? A. the eruption of a volcano B. beach erosion C. the weathering of mountains D. sedimentary rock formation Explain your answer in detail.

11. Earth Science 1.Fold your new paper like a hot dog. 2.On the left side, write “Rapid Process.” 3.On the right side, write “Slow Process.” 4.Place each of these words in the correct column: eruption, erosion, weathering, dissolving minerals, earthquake, landslide, magma cooling into granite, movement of a glacier, stalactite growth, melting into magma, flood, evaporation, tsunami, lava flow

12. Earth Science Explain how finding fossils in layers of sedimentary rock can help a geologist determine the age of the rock layer. Use your textbook, pp.E76-77 Now use your knowledge and explain whether the rock layer UNDER the fossils will be older or younger than the fossil layer above it.

13. TEKS 5.11 Earth Science Dinosaurs and the remains of plants and sea creatures led to the formation of which resource? A. fossils B. oxygen C. oil D. trees After years of plant matter being deposited and pressed down into peat, additional heat and pressure will eventually produce A. magma B. coal C. sediments D. fossils

14. Earth/ Space The earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours. What occurs as a result of this rotation? A. the four seasons B. the constellations C. night and day D. moon phases

15. Earth/ Space Explain the difference between a rotation and a revolution of an object in space. Explain why we cannot see the light of the moon during the phase called the “new moon.” Draw a picture to show where the moon is in relation to the earth and the sun. Draw a diagram showing the location of the moon, earth, and sun when we see a full moon.

16. Earth/ Space What causes the tides in the earth’s oceans to rise and ebb (fall)? A. waves B. currents C. gravitational pull of the earth D. gravitational pull of the moon
