- Q 1/10Score 0This is a diagram of a soil texture triangle. Farmers can use this chart to identify the type of soil found on their land and determine the likelihood of erosion and other important factors. What type of soil does a farmer have if the soil contains 40% sand/40% silt/and 20% clay?29sandy loamloamclaysilty loam

- Q1This is a diagram of a soil texture triangle. Farmers can use this chart to identify the type of soil found on their land and determine the likelihood of erosion and other important factors. What type of soil does a farmer have if the soil contains 40% sand/40% silt/and 20% clay?sandy loamloamclaysilty loam300s
- Q2Use the diagram of the rock cycle to answer the question that follows. What has to occur to change igneous rock into sediment?heat and pressureweathering/transportation/and depositioncooling and solidificationcementation and compaction300s
- Q3There are many natural rock formations such as the one shown. Which two processes MOST likely removed the center portion of the rock and transported it to another location?chemical weathering and glaciersearthquakes and windmechanical weathering and watertectonic activity and magma300s
- Q4Heat in Earth's crust transformed this rock from its original structure and appearance. Why does the metamorphic rock show stripes?It was weathered after its transformation.Directional pressure changed its crystal structure.Glaciers altered the shape of its surface.It was formed from the shells of marine organisms.300s
- Q5As rain falls on top of a cliff water seeps into the cracks of the rock. As the temperature reaches 0ºC the water expands and breaks the rock apart. Eventually the rock falls to the ground. Which statement BEST describes the process shown?ice wedgingcreepabrasionchemical weathering300s
- Q6What would be most effective in minimizing the potential damage caused by an earthquake?increasing the amount of concrete during road buildingbuilding structures that withstand ground vibrationsinstalling sirens in areas prone to earthquakesrequiring the recycling of metal and wood products300s
- Q7Which is one way poor use of fertilizers in agriculture can affect the environment?It can cause pollution of water in lakes and rivers.It can increase the ability of many species to find suitable habitats.It can cause an increase in greenhouse gases.It can reduce the amount of sediment in the local waterways.300s
- Q8Guatemala is a mountainous country in Central America. Each year more than 350 square kilometers of forests are removed for building materials and to make more room for crops. If this rate of deforestation continues what will most likely result over the next several years?The risk of landslides across the country will increase.The number of earthquakes across the country will decrease.The average rainfall for the country will increase.The amount of fertile soil across the country will increase.300s
- Q9Oceanic crust is composed mainly of basalt. Continental crust is composed mainly of granite. Why does oceanic crust generally tend to subduct under continental crust when plates collide?The oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust.The continental crust is thicker than oceanic crust.The continental crust is denser than the oceanic crust.The oceanic crust is thicker than the continental crust.300s
- Q10How are sedimentary rocks made?Chemical reactions change minerals.Magma or lava is cooled.Materials are pressed together.Earthquakes cause small pieces to fall.300s
