The force of gravity on the surface of the moon is about one-sixth the force of gravity on the surface of Earth. Which describes the relationship of mass and weight of an object on the moon compared to that on Earth? ( Both masses and weight are greater on the moon, both mass and weight are less on the moon, mass is the same, but weight is less on the moon, weight is the same, but mass is less on the moon.)
mass is the same, but weight is less on the moon

Which of the following would not be called an "original remains" fossil? (A plant fossil caught in a tar pit, a fly caught in amber, a dinasour tooth, a frozen woolly mammoth)
what is a dinasour tooth

The planet Mars has season's similar to those on Earth.The most likely reason for this is... (Mars is the same distance from the sun as Earth, Mars is tilted on its axis in the same way as Earth, Mars is traveling at the same speed as Earth, Mars is the same size as Earth)
Mars is tilted on its axis in the same way as Earth

An astronomer measured the distance between two stars. The distance the astronomer recorded was probably measured it....(light-years, centimeters, tons, inches)
What is light-years

Which principal would be used to determine the relative ages of the top three rock layers. (Uniformitarism, Superposition, absolute dating or radioactive decay)
What is Superposition
200
Which of the following occurs when Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon, making the Moon invisible to observers on Earth? (A lunar eclipse, a solar eclipse, a full moon, a waxing moon)
What is A lunar eclipse
200
Which of the following conditions makes fossils formation more likely? (Buried slowly, attacked by scabengers, made of hard parts, composed of soft parts)
made of hard parts
200
Which of the following would be measured using kilometers? (The diameter of Mars, the weight of Mars, the density of Mars, the age of Mars)
The diameter of Mars
200
In the core of a star, the temperature can reach heights unknown on Earth. The process by which stars generate energy is called....(photosythesis, fusion, condensation, radiation)
What is Fusion

During field investigations of undisturbed rock layers, scientist can assume that the relative age of a rock layer is probably.... Younger thatn the rock layer below it, Older than the fossil it contains or determined by using radioactive decay.
Younger than the rock layer below it

The gravitational pull of the Moon has a greater effect than the pull of the Sun on the tidal changes on Earth's oceans. The most likely reason for this is....(The sun is closer to earth, the moon is closer to Earth, the sun is larger than the moon, earth is larger than the moon.)
the moon is closer to Earth
300
In one type of radioactive decay, which of the following breaks down, releasing an electron? (Alpha particles, beta particle, Proton, Neutron)
What is a Neutron

An object that allows absolutely no light to escape would appear to be what color? (Black, yellow, blue, white)
What is Black

Which forces are most important in determing the life cycle of a star? (magnetism and surface temperatures, luminosity and distance from the Earth, Fusion and gravity, age and rotational speed)
What is Fusion and gravity
400
George used radiometric dating in a laboratory investigation. He used this method because he wanted to find.....the relative ages of rocks, the absolute ages of rocks, the climate during a certain era, the types of fossils found in a rock
What is the absolute ages of rocks

What is it called when the lighted portion of the Moon appears to get larger? (Waning, Waxing, Roatating, Crescent)
What is Waxing
400
What would happen if someone were able to mix a large amount of the daughter isotope into a sample before it was subjected to radiometric dating? ( the sample would be easier to measure, the sample would seem older that it was, the sample would decay more quickly, nothing would happen)
What is the sample would seem older that it was

In the expanding universe, observable galaxies are moving farther apart from each other. From this statement, what should be the Doppler Effect when observing a star in another galaxy? (No shift, Blue shift, the shifts will vary between red and blue, Red shifts)
What is Red shifts
400
The spectrum of a star appears to shift as it moves toward or away from Earth. This shift in the wavelength of light is called the....(doppler effect, hertzsprung-russell diagram, big bang theory, luminosity)
What is the doppler effect

The data below shows how much of a radioactive sample is left after each half-life. The sample's half-life is 5 minutes. If everything remains the same, what fraction of the radioactive isotope will be left after 20 minutes. 0-All 5min-1/2 10min-1/4 15 min-?
What is 1/16

Why did the heliocentric model relplace the geocentric model as the generally accepted explanation of the motion of the sun and moon? (the geocentric model is not concistent with the concept of gravity, the geocentric model could not explain how solar eclipses occur, data was collected that was not consistent with heliocentric model, calculations proved the Earth is smaller thatn the sun, so Earth must revolve around the sun.
What is the geocentric model is not concistent with the concept of gravity
