plains what is being illustrated in the enclosed area in Pacific Plate in the Hawaiian
the northwest portion of the map? Islands.
4. Which of the following would be most helpful to de- A density gradient tube and
termine the soil texture of a sample? a soil triangle
5. Students want to determine how vegetation affects Soil with no grass
soil erosion. They collect four soil samples of equal
starting mass with different types of vegetative cover,
as seen in the table below. Each sample is placed in a
three-sided plastic dish that can drain into a beaker
and is exposed to the same amount of consistent,
steady rainfall for ten minutes. The water and soil
runoff are collected in the beaker and separated. The
average values for each sample are provided below.

soil erosion. They collect four soil samples of equal the soil sample

The average values for each sample are provided be-
low.Which of the following is a dependent variable in
the experiment?
7. Which of the following describes the independent Soil samples taken from dif-
variable in this investigation? ferent locations
8. Which of the following describes the dependent vari- Percentage of each particle

9. A student claims that soil sample B would be classified The student used a soil tri-
as a loam. Which of the following best describes the angle to determine where
method used by the student to reach this conclusion? the lines intersect for sand,
silt, and clay for the soil
sample.
10. Which of the following abiotic factors, when graphed Temperature gradients
on the x-axis, leads to the curved line in the graph due
to variation in the different layers of the atmosphere?
