Question 5 (3 points)
What city is located at 15 degrees south, 50 degrees east?

A map contains four longitude lines beginning at 10 degrees south at the top of the map and ending at 25 degrees south at the bottom of the map. The map also contains five latitude lines, beginning at 30 degrees east on the left side of the map and ending at 50 degrees east on the right side of the map. Each line of latitude and longitude represents a change of five degrees. Six cities are noted on the map. Red Bank is located slightly to the right of the second longitude line and between the second and third lines of latitude. Rock City is located between the second and third longitude lines, but slightly closer to the third longitude line. Rock City is on the first line of latitude. White Beach is on the same line of latitude at Rock City, but is midway between the third and fourth lines of longitude. Green Prairie is located on the second latitude line and very near the fourth line of longitude. Surfer's town is also located on the second latitude line, but at the fifth line of longitude. Belleville is about midway between the second and third latitude lines and slightly to the right of the fourth longitude line.

Question 5 options:

Surfer's Town

White's Beach

Red Bank

Rock City

Question 9 (3 points)
How do soils form?
Question 9 options:

Plants cement mineral particles together to form soil.

Erosion transports mineral particles, and plants die and decay.

Weathering breaks rocks into minerals, and plants die and decay.

Plants provide organic matter and minerals to make soil.
Question 10 (3 points)
Which forms the organic portion of soil?
Question 10 options:

dead plants

clay

microorganisms

sand

Answer 1

Here are the answers to your questions:

Question 3: Which materials are included in the hydrosphere that are not in liquid form?
