I'm doing Science 7a's final.
I need somebody to check my answers please. Let me know which ones I got wrong. Thanks
1. Jamal wants to know how fast his skateboard can roll down the ramp in front of his school. So, Jamal places the back of the skateboard even with the top of the ramp and times how long it takes before the front of the skateboard reaches the end of the ramp. After he records the time, he performs this procedure again four more times and calculates the average time. During his experiment, Jamal demonstrates _______. *
repetition

mountain building; erosion
8. What causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and creates mountains and ocean basins? *

between 100 million and 120 million years old
14. The images below show how the Earth's continents looked 250 million years ago and how they look today.

continental drift

fresh water
16. Cars, trucks, and buses use petroleum—which is a fossil fuel—to power them. Mrs. Cash has a class of 20 students. Half of her students get rides to school from their parents. The other half take the bus. If it takes the same amount of energy to transport three students to school by bus as it takes to transport one student by car, how could the amount of energy Mrs. Cash's students use be reduced the most? *
They could all ride the bus to school.
17. Which of the following is a nonrenewable energy source? *
gasoline
18. Which of the following is NOT a good way to manage a natural resource? *
taking long showers
19. Dax just completed a report on car transportation. He concluded that gasoline prices will likely rise significantly in the years to come and recommends lower-cost car transportation for the future. Dax's younger sister, Ava, just completed a report on air pollution. Ava concluded that gasoline-powered cars cause too much pollution and recommends that they should not be used in the future. Which of the following is a solution for the future that would follow both Dax's and Ava's recommendations? *
development of cars that run on fuels that pollute less and cost less than gasoline
20. Where extensive deforestation has occurred, _______ is often a result. *
increased erosion
21. Urban areas tend to be warmer than the rural areas that surround them. This is mainly caused by how the materials that humans use for building, such as concrete, absorb and radiate energy from the Sun. This is known as the "heat island" effect. Which of the following can be altered by the heat island effect? *
local weather patterns
22. Acid rain contributes to soil erosion. Acid rain can be caused by *
chemicals released into the air by factories.
23. A sample of nitrogen gas is at 37°C (99°F). If heat is removed from the sample, its temperature will _______, and it could undergo a change of state into a ________. *
decrease; liquid
24. Which of the following correctly describes how heat moves when it is conducted between objects? *
from warmer objects to cooler objects
25. A transfer of heat within a liquid or gas that involves warm particles moving in currents is *
convection
26. Many people have a tendency to think that heat and temperature are the same thing. However, this is not true. Heat describes *
energy that flows from warmer objects to cooler objects.
27. Which of the following is true about light waves and sound waves? *
Sound waves can move at different speeds, but light waves always move at the same speed.
28. White light is made up of *
a spectrum of many different colors of light.
29. When an object such as a stone is dropped into water, it disturbs the surface of the water. Waves form at the surface of the water and travel outward from the point of the disturbance. The diagram below is based on a single frame from a video of the waves that formed when a stone was dropped into water. If a student were to measure the distance labeled as "Z," she would know the value of the _______ of the wave. *
wavelength
30. A machine produces compression waves in a spring that is 120 cm long by pulsing twice every second. The back and forth movement of the pulse creates compressed sections of the spring that are 30 cm apart and travel toward the other end of the spring. Which property of the wave does the value of two per second describe? *
frequency
