Louis Pasteur Middle School 67 Regents Earth Science: 2016-17 Mr. Paccione 1st Quarter - Chapter 1 Test / September 23rd, 2016 28-minute Exam Part I: Multiple Choice- Please read through the questions carefully and choose the best answer. When you have found your answer, place it on the answer sheet located on the back page. Be sure to use your Earth Science Reference Table during the test as it is a resource for you at all times. Each question in this section is worth 4 points for a total of 60 points. The pressure on a metamorphic rock was increased from 2.3 GPa to 3.5 GPa. How did the density of this rock change? The increased pressure decreased its density The decreased pressure increased its density The increased pressure increased its density Pressure does not affect the density. A solid block of salt was placed under a gas flame for approximately 2 minutes before it began to melt into a liquid. How did the density of the salt change throughout the entire process? The added heat decreased the density The change of phase from solid to liquid decreased the density The added heat increased the density Both (a) and (b) Use the picture below to answer question 3. The graph below features a graphical relationship between two variables. What type of relationship is being shown in the graph above? Constant Direct Indirect Cyclic A 125 g sandstone rock underwent abrasion in a desert environment for 10 years after which time its mass was reduced to just 25 grams. Calculate the rate of change of the rock: 10 grams/year 12.5 grams/year 10 years/gram 12.5 years/gram A car was seen speeding down the highway at 120 miles per hour (mph) as it passed a police officer. When the driver of the car saw the police officer chasing him, he quickly slowed down to 50 mph in 5 seconds. What was the rate of change of the car’s speed? 24 miles per hour/second 14 miles per hour/second 24 seconds/miles per hour
