300s - Q2
Based on the topographic map, if a park ranger hiked due west from the radio tower, the ranger’s path would —
cross another peak in the park
go down a steep slope and then become flatter
cross a canyon with a river running through it
be flat and then go up a steep slope
300s - Q3
Ocean currents affect weather patterns by —
regulating when tides occur in coastal areas
increasing the rate of evaporation to transport water to areas experiencing droughts
trapping heat at the equator to regulate the global climate
distributing heat from the uneven absorption of solar energy
300s - Q4
On which date will they most likely be able to observe a new moon?
May 13
May 18
May 31
May 25
300s - Q5
The moon remains in orbit around Earth because of the force of —
Earth’s gravity
Earth’s rotation
the moon’s rotation
the sun’s gravity
300s - Q6
Stars with the highest temperatures will emit most of their light at wavelengths that are near —
orange light
green light
red light
blue light
300s - Q7
Which section of the diagram includes the coolest, brightest stars?
Section 2
Section 4
Section 1
Section 3
300s - Q8
During which lunar phase is the tide highest?
Phase 4
Phase 3
Phase 2
Phase 1
300s - Q9
Glacial striations in the bedrock of South Africa indicate that glaciers once moved across the African continent. The presence of glaciers on the surface of Africa is evidence that —
the tectonic plate under Africa was closer to the South Pole at one time
volcanoes did not exist until after faults occurred in Earth’s crust
the location of the North Pole and the South Pole changed
the equator was not always where it is currently located
300s - Q10
Which answer choice best explains the change from daytime to nighttime on Earth?
The tilt of Earth causes less light to reach Earth at night.
Earth moves farther away from the sun at night.
Earth rotates and causes different parts of Earth to experience night
The sun stops sending light to Earth at night
300s - Q11
As the glacier melts, water travels toward the ocean along the geological feature labeled X. When water erodes soil along this feature, the feature will most likely become —
wider
dry
shorter
straight
300s - Q12
Which location around Green Peak is likely to experience the most erosion over time?
Location X, because location X is near the bottom of a slope
Location Y, because location Y has the steepest slope
D Location Z, because location Z is the flattest slope
Location W, because location W has the gentlest slope
300s - Q13
Farmers can best reduce negative effects on the water quality ofnearby streams and lakes by planting crops that —
need less solar energy
produce less carbon dioxide
produce less oxygen
need less fertilizer
300s - Q14
A star that has a luminosity of 10-2 and a temperature of 20,000 K is most likely a —
Main sequence
Red giant
White dwarf
Blue giant
300s - Q15
Which answer choice best describes the weather at location X on Day 1 and Day 2?
Day 1: warm and rainy
Day 2: cool with more rain
Day 1: clear and cool
Day 2: warm and rainy
Day 1: warm and windy
Day 2: cloudy and cold
Day 1: cold and rainy
Day 2: clear and sunny
