  3. Which of these two measurements should produce nearly identical readings? - correct answer ✅D. The density of a golf ball measured on Earth and then measured on the moon.
  4. Objects typically expand as they are heated and contract as they are cooled. However, when water is frozen at 0 degrees Celsius, its volume increases. What best explains this phenomenon? - correct answer ✅B. Water molecules form a crystalline structure when they solidify; one which takes up slightly more space than their liquid form.
  5. Which statement is true regarding the pH scale? - correct answer ✅B. A substance that is pH neutral will by definition read '7' on the pH scale.
  6. A child drops a piece of paper and a pencil at the same time and observes that the pencil lands on the ground first. Which of the following best explains this? -

Subtest 2 (Version 2) A

correct answer ✅D. The pencil has more mass per unit of surface area that is pushing through air resistance, and is therefore more able to overcome the slowing effect of friction.

  1. Which of the following would be considered the most easily renewable source of energy? - correct answer ✅B. Seasonal winds blowing through a narrow mountain pass.
  2. Which of the following is the best explanation of how magnetism is commonly used to generate AC electricity? - correct answer ✅A. A magnetic field is rotated relative to a coil, causing voltage to build up.
  3. Which of these statements does not contribute to the generally accepted explanation of how the greenhouse effect increases the temperature of earth's atmosphere? - correct answer ✅B. The ozone layer traps certain thermal currents in the atmosphere longer than they are meant to be retained. Read the examples below. *Infra-red light registered on the ocean floor. *A pulse of gamma rays moving through metal *Successive compressions of air perceived audibly by a human.
  4. The above examples all have what trait in common? - correct answer ✅C. They are traveling as waves.
  5. For something to be defined as 'living,' it must have many distinct qualities. In general, which of the following is not considered a prerequisite condition to be a living organism? - correct answer ✅C. Capable of sexual reproduction.

  4. A freshwater lake in Idaho stands 500 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. It is fed by runoff from the western Rocky Mountains. It has no adjacent aquifers or reservoirs, but once filled, it flows into a tributary of the Columbia River (which then sends runoff water to the Pacific Ocean). Which of the following events would most greatly increase the lake's salinity? - correct answer ✅A. The lake's overflow access to the tributary becomes cut off, so the lake no longer has drainage.
  5. A researcher is traveling and taking various barometric pressure readings. In general, which of the following is most likely to result in a decrease in barometric pressure? - correct answer ✅B. Moving from an area of fair weather into a region experiencing significant thunderstorm activity.
  6. Tsunamis originating from the same earthquake can cause highly variable damage to coastlines. In the 2004 tsunami, far more damage was done to the island of Aceh than the island of Sri Lanka, despite Sri Lanka's closer proximity to the epicenter. What best explains this phenomenon? - correct answer ✅B. As the wave approaches shallower water, its velocity slows and the wavelength is

shortened. But this kinetic energy is translated into the wave's amplitude, which rises greatly. The shallower the ocean shelf, the higher (and more destructive) the wave becomes.
