[NOTE!!! - these will NOT be the exact same questions that you will receive. These are EXAMPLES ONLY from prior tests; I never reuse exact questions.
[Treat each question as if it is fill-in-the-blank first; then leftclick the links to view the multiple choice list of answer options.]
1. If the biotemperature (BT) gradient is -1oC per 1o of latitude, what vegetation occurs 10o of latitude farther north FROM a temperate forest at 55oN that has an annual biotemperature of 9oC? [Bioclimatic Transects]
2. A place with a mean annual biotemperature (BT) of 1.3oC, mean annual potential evapotranspiration (PE) of 76 mm, and a Holdridge ratio (PE/P) of 2.1 MOST probably has [-?-] vegetation. [Bioclimatic Transects]
3. A light-colored sample, that contains numerous fossils pressed between the rock's grainless grey layers, and which does react with acid, is most probably [-?-]. [from Rock Types]
4. A light-weight rock pocked by many empty cavities, and having uniformly fine black and whitish crystals, probably was formed at a [-?-] location. [from Rock Types]
5. The diagram below has a contour interval of: [from Topographic Maps]
6. The diagram in Question 5 has a steeper slope on the [-?-] side, and the stream source must be on the [-?-] side. [from Topographic Maps]
7. The diagram in Question 5 has a house (black square) at elevation [-?-]. [from Topographic Maps]
8. Ash layers indicate, and are most likely to be near, a [-?-] volcano. [from Volcanic Landforms]
