ILS QuestionWhich setup below would require the least force to lift a 100-gram mass a distance of 10 centimeters?
ILS QuestionThe diagram below shows stages in the development of a certain landscape.
When did erosion become the most dominant process in the development of the landscape shown in stage 4?(1) at stage 1(2) at stage 2 (3) between stages 2 and 3(4) between stages 3 and 4
ILS QuestionThe diagram below shows a cross section of rock layers in Earth’s crust.
The forces shown in the diagram caused the rock layers to(1) fault (2) fold (3) form(4) expand
ILS QuestionSeveral tomato plants are grown indoors next to a sunny window. The plants receive water and fertilizer and remain on the windowsill. What will most likely happen?(1) Most of the leaves on the window side will wilt and die.(2) The roots of the plants will grow upward from the soil.(3) Water droplets will collect on the leaves facing away
from the window.(4) The stem will bend toward the window
ILS QuestionThe table below shows the symptoms of some diseases that are caused by bacteria.
Which two diseases listed in the table affect the digestive system?(1) botulism and typhoid
fever(2) botulism and pneumonia (3) tetanus and pneumonia(4) tetanus and typhoid fever
ILS QuestionWhich situation is the best example of ecological succession?(1) An organism survives a difficult winter.(2) The populations in an area remain the same.(3) One species replaces another species in an ecosystem.(4) Each of several species uses the same amount of
resources.
What is weather? Local or short term
changes in temperature, rainfall, wind, cloud cover
What is climate?The average weather
conditions over a large geographic area that extends over a long period of time.
How is the amount of rainfall affected by the mountain?
How does altitude (elevation) affect temperature?The higher the altitude
(elevation), the cooler the temperature.
How do ocean currents affect temperature?Ocean currents can
moderate (cool or warm) nearby coastal landmasses
How does latitude affect the amount of solar radiation (direct sunlight)?As latitude increases,
there is a decrease of solar radiation.
How does latitude affect temperature?As latitude increases,
there is a decrease in temperature.
Describe where the air mass is formed & its characteristics. Maritime Formed over water Wet weatherContinental. Formed over land Dry weatherPolar Formed over northern
latitudes Cold weatherTropical Formed over southern
latitudes Warm weather
ILS QuestionsWhich term refers to the atmospheric conditions that prevail from season to season and year to year at a certain location?(1) Weather (2) climate (3) equilibrium(4) ecosystem
Weather forecasts are more accurate today thanin the past due to
(1) global warming(2) air-quality control(3) plate tectonics(4) use of images from space
ILS QuestionsThe map shows the origin of a maritime tropical air mass. The arrow shows the general track of this air mass. New York State is labeled NY.
Which temperature and moisture conditions are associated with this air mass?
(1) cold and dry (2) warm and humid (3) cold and humid(4) warm and dry
Which factor has the greatest influence on the direction of the air-mass track?
ILS QuestionThe map below shows the total rainfall, in inches, for parts of New York State, Vermont, andNew Hampshire over one year. The numbered dark lines connect locations with the same amount of total rainfall. State boundaries are indicated by
What was the probable amount of rainfall, in inches, for Waterbury, Vermont, for that year?
Describe the type of weather that is expected with a High pressure system?Nice clear weatherDescribe the type of weather associated with a Low pressure system?UnstableWet weather

Describe the weather a person would experience during the passing of a cold front?1. Warm weather2. Cold front line passes3. Heavy rains & storms for a short period of time4. Cool weather
ILS QuestionThe arrows in the diagram below show the circulation of air on a sunny day.
The air circulation shown is caused by(1) both hot air and cool air sinking(2) both hot air and cool air rising(3) hot air sinking and cool air rising(4) hot air rising and cool air sinking
ILS QuestionsThe map shows a low-pressure system (L) over New York State in July.
Describe one weather condition that was most likely produced along the fronts as this low-pressure system moved across New York State in July.
Explain why this low-pressure system causes the temperature to be warmer in Syracuse than in Rochester.
