GACE Middle Grades Science Exam Questions With 100% Correct Answers Tidal hypothesis - answerTheory that the solar system started with a near collision of sun and large star. Few astronomers believe this theory. condensation hypothesis - answersolar system began with rotating clouds of dust and gas. Condensation happened in center to form sun, and smaller parts of clouds formed. More astronomers believe in this idea. Core - answerOuter core- liquid; inner core- solid. Very dense in center...

Hot Spot - Answer Places on the Earth's surface that are directly above columns of rising magma called (mantle plumes.) Lava - Answer Magma that flows onto the Earth's surface. Composite Volcano - Answer (Stratovolcanoes) Most common type. Form by explosive eruptions of pyroclastic materials followed by lava. Volcanic Bombs - Answer Large blobs of magma that harden in the air. Rift - Answer Deep crack formed when tectonic plates separate. Caldera - Answer Magma chamber that supplies mat...

About how many Near Earth Asteroids are we currently tracking - 20,000 we are currently tracking How a caldera forms - a large circular depression formed when the surface collapses into an emptied magma chamber How core formation leads to an increase in internal temperature - the motion of the falling iron is converted into deformation at the surface of the growing core, producing heat How heat is transferred with conduction, convection, and radiation - convection: heat transfer through fl...

12 Hawaii Stage B Question 1 0.38 / 0.75 pts Matching – select the best match between the location and the volcanic feature (or the basalt flow source). NOTE: There are a big pool of these questions, and so the instructions here apply for all of the potential questions. You are given geographic coordinates scattered around the Island of Hawai’i. Use Fast Travel in the geovisualization to go to that location. If the location is a volcanic feature that is not a lava flow (e.g. cal...
