Which can be excluded from the list of events caused by the flow of thermal energy inside the Earth?(1 point) Responses valley formations valley formations thunderstorms thunderstorms earthquakes earthquakes volcanic eruptions
Thunderstorms can be excluded from the list of events caused by the flow of thermal energy inside the Earth. Thunderstorms are atmospheric phenomena and are primarily caused by the heating of the Earth's surface by the sun, which leads to the rising of warm, moist air that eventually forms thunderclouds. In contrast, valley formations, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions are geological processes that can be directly related to the flow of thermal energy inside the Earth.
Valleys can be formed by tectonic activity, which is driven by the movement of the Earth's lithospheric plates due to the heat from the Earth's interior. Earthquakes result from the release of energy in the Earth's crust as plates move or as magma forces its way upward. Volcanic eruptions occur when there is a release of magma, which is generated by the melting of rocks in the Earth's mantle due to its internal heat.

A large rain storm hits your town and it rains all day. How does this event relate to the water cycle, and what happens to the water after the rain storm? First, state which stage of the water cycle is demonstrated by the storm. Next, use the remaining stages of the water cycle to explain what happens to the water as the water cycle is completed. Remember that the stages of the water cycle include evaporation, precipitation, condensation, and runoff.(2 points) Short Answer Rubric (4 points) make it like a 6th grader wrote it
The stage of the water cycle shown by the storm is precipitation. That's when the water falls down from the clouds as rain. Now, let's talk about what happens next with all that rainwater.
After the storm, some of the water goes into the ground and is called groundwater. That's not a part of the water cycle we mentioned, but it's still important. The rest of the water that doesn't soak into the ground will run off into places like rivers, lakes, and streams. This part is called runoff, and it happens because of gravity pulling the water downhill.
Now, when the sun comes out after the rain, it heats up the water in puddles, rivers, and lakes, and even the wet ground. The heat makes the water turn into vapor or steam, which goes up into the air. This part is evaporation. Then, the water vapor gets cooler high up in the sky and turns back into tiny water drops, making clouds. This is called condensation.
Sooner or later, those clouds get full of water again, and guess what? It rains once more, and that's more precipitation. And that's how the water from the big rainstorm goes through the water cycle. Cool, right?
