ACING EAPS 100, FINAL EXAM WITH ESSENTIAL A+ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS salt water in the ocean dissolved salt increases oceans water density without changing the volume density of water controlled by temp and salinity ocean currents a band of flowing water that moves faster than adjacent water Coriolis effect the deflection of a moving object relative to the surface of a spinning object beneath northern hemisphere (Coriolis effect) cause objects initially moving north, from a lower to high...

ACING EAPS 100, EXAM 2 WITH ESSENTIAL A+ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Several factors that cause Salinity to vary 1. Process removes large amount of freshwater from seawater and increases Salinity: -Evaporation -Formation of sea ice 2. Process adds large amounts of freshwater to seawater and decreases Salinity: -Precipitation -Runoff from land -Ice melting Explain how deep-ocean trenches are related to plate boundaries 1. Deep-ocean trenches: long, narrow troughs that are the deepest pa...

ACING EAPS 100, EXAM 3 WITH ESSENTIAL A+ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A gas under constant pressure will ____________ when ____________. expand; heated A gas under constant temperature will ____________ in volume when the pressure is ____________. decrease; increase Heat is applied to a container. The molecules inside the container become more energetic; pressure increases. Pushing down on the sealed glass container causes decreased volume, pressure increases. Which of the following statements...

ACING EAPS 100 WITH ESSENTIAL A+ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS What are the 3 fundamental sub-atomic particles which make up most atoms? Protons (+ electrical charge) and neutrons (no electrical charge) reside in the center (nucleus) an atom. Electrons (negatively charged), which are much smaller particles which whirl at great speed around the nucleus, at different distances (orbitals). The outermost electrons can transfer from one atom to another during chemical reactions. How do you distinguish b...

ACING EAPS 100, EXAM 1,2,3 WITH ESSENTIAL A+ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The difference between open and closed systems is that open systems can acquire matter and energy, but closed systems cannot. A snowball that rolls down a hill, gradually gaining more and more mass and rolling faster and faster as it continues, would be an example of a(n) positive feedback system. Which of the following statements is true about the transfer of energy, matter, or momentum in the atmosphere? a. Momentum is us...

ACING EAPS 100, MIDTERM EXAM, WITH ESSENTIAL A+ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS How did the universe form (what is the most widely accepted scientific theory)? According to this theory, all of the energy and matter if the universe originally existed in an incomprehensively hot and dense state. About 13.8 billion years ago, our universe began as a cataclysmic explosion, which continued to expand, cool, and evolve to its current state. Big bang theory a theory which proposes that the universe originated...

C. presence or absence of layers. D. All of these choices are correct. D. All of these choices are correct. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of rocks with clastic textures? A. composed of interlocking minerals B. composed of broken fragments of older eroded rocks C. commonly formed in low tempe...

ACING EAPS 100, EXAM 2 WITH ESSENTIAL A+ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS These wave(s) can pass through the core P wave These wave(s) cannot pass through the core S waves Surface waves When does reflection occur? Reflection occurs when a seismic wave reaches a rock layer boundary and does not cross over. Instead, the energy of its seismic wave is redirected back into the rock layer it has been traveling through When does refraction occur? Refraction occurs when a seismic wave crosses a rock layer...
