  1. Golf Mr. Olsen 7th Grade Unit 3

  2. A road cut reveals layers in the soil. Why does soil have layers? A.  It has been sorted by particle size and density   B.  It is made from rock and other particles   C.  It was placed in layers by humans   D.  The layers have always been there

  3. In the past, many people thought that Earth was hollow. Why is this model of Earth not accepted now? A.  Today scientists have collected data that support a layered model of Earth.   B.  The current layered model of Earth’s structure has now been proven.   C.  Models of Earth’s structure only last a certain amount of time and then they are replaced.   D.  Scientists have now taken samples of Earth’s core and know the old model was wrong.

  4. Why are iron and nickel found in Earth's core? A.  They have a higher density than most of Earth's substances   B.  They have a lower density than most of Earth's substances   C.  The core is hotter than the other layers of the earth   D.  The core is colder than the other layers of the earth

  5. A student shakes a jar with a mixture of sand types. Instead of mixing, the sand grains separate into layers. Why? A.  The grains are different colors   B.  The grains have different shapes   C.  The grains have different densities   D.  The jar has a round shape

  6. How has technology helped earth scientists measure the density of various kinds of rocks? A.  Lasers help see into rocks and detect the most dense ones.   B.  Seismic waves reflect off of more dense rocks differently than less dense rocks.   C.  Sonar is used to identify the density of certain metamorphic rocks.   D.  Simple observations allow us to determine if rocks are sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic.

  7. A square chunk of plastic has a length of 5 cm,width of 5 cm and height of 5 cm. It has a mass of 200 g. What is its density? A.  .12 g/cm3 B.  1.0 g/cm3 C.  1.6 g/cm3 D.  2.3 g/cm3

  8. An egg sinks in water but floats in salt water. What do you know about the density of the egg? A.  It is more dense than water but less dense than salt water   B.  It is less dense than water and less dense than salt water   C.  It is denser than water and denser than salt water   D.  It is less dense than water but more dense than salt water

  9. The development of the seismograph allows scientists to determine how fast waves travel through the core of Earth. From this, they can infer densities and states of matter of the materials inside Earth. How has this technology influenced current models of Earth’s structure? A.  It provides evidence that the core is composed of a liquid and a solid layer.   B.  It shows that the crust is solid and more dense than the mantle.   C.  It proves that the mantle moves with convection currents.   D.  It gives information about temperatures and pressures at the bottom of the sea.

  10. A streambed contains round rocks, all about the same size. Why are there no smaller particles of sand and clay? Sand and clay… A.  are too small to see   B.  are denser   C.  have washed away   D.  were never there

  11. In the spring, rivers in Utah are often brown in color. A sample of the water shows it contains very small particles of silt. Why is silt suspended in the water? A.  Silt is brown in color   B.  The water is moving rapidly   C.  Silt is small with low density   D.  Water has a high density

  12. Where would the smallest particles of rock be found in a streambed? A.  In the strongest current   B.  In the weakest current   C.  Near the middle   D.  At the beginning

  13. In winter, a layer of cold air settles in the valleys and warmer air is often found higher in the mountains. What might account for this condition? A.  There is more warm air than cold air   B.  There is more cold air than warm air   C.  Cold air is less dense than warm air   D.  Cold air is denser than warm air
