C
water
D
ice
11) How can water be an agent for physical weathering?
A
by seeping into the soil and dissolving the minerals in rocks
B
by absorbing sulfur oxides and creating acid precipitation
C
by absorbing gases from the atmosphere and ground to chemically react with minerals

building landfills for metal and other contaminants
B
recycling bottle-water containers
C
reducing water consumption
D
building artifical levees

A
by increasing soil formation
B
by increasing erosion
C
by increasing transpiration
D
by increasing oxygen production
14) Large quantities of sand can be added to the beach to stabilize to shoreline. Which describes a disadvantage of this process.
A
It creates a barrier that prevents the tides from occuring along the coastline.
B
It is a short-term solution.
C
It causes inland erosion.
D
It creates a wall that disrupts the vegetation along the coastline.
15) Which is an advantage of safely using uranium as an energy source rater than using coal?
A
Uranium produces energy without polluting the atmosphere, while burning coal can increase the CO2 in the atmosphere.
B
Uranium can be easily mined from deep within Earth, while coal is a hard resource to mine from deep within Earth.
C
Uranium is the most cost-efficient energy resource, while coal is the most expensive energy resource.
D
Uranium reduces the amount of thermal pollution, while burning coal can increase the amount of thermal pollution.

B
They increase the rate of precipitation as cold water moves along coastal regions.
C
They can warm or cool the air temperature along coastal regions.
D
They produce high and low tides along coastal regions.

an aquifer
C
a spring
D
a geyser
