Note: For every question I provided a link with in order for you to view the picture. Please answer all question accurately. Best answer will receive ten points.
1. Base your answer to the question on the two accompanying topographic maps. A grid system of numbers and letters appears along the edge of each map to help locate features. Both maps show elevations in feet above sea level.

Which statement correctly describes one difference between these maps?
a)Map A has a greater relief (elevation change between high and low locations) than map B.
b)Map A represents a much larger surface area than map B.
c)Map A shows more contour lines than map B.
d)Map A generally shows gentler slopes than map B.
2. Base your answer on Moh's mineral hardness scale and on the accompanying chart showing the approximate hardness of some common objects.
The hardness of these minerals is most closely related to the

a)mineral's color
b)mineral's abundance in nature
c)amount of iron the mineral contains
d)internal arrangement of the mineral's atoms

a)A fingernail will scratch calcite, but not quartz.
b)A fingernail will scratch quartz, but not calcite.
c)A piece of glass can be scratched by quartz, but not by calcite.
d)A piece of glass can be scratched by calcite, but not by quartz.
4. Base your answer on the passage below and the accompanying map. The map shows the generalized landscape regions of Vermont.
Landscape Regions of Vermont
Most of Vermont's landscape regions consist of ancient, weathered mountains that were covered by several ice sheets during the last ice age. When the ice melted, sand, cobbles, and boulders were deposited throughout the state. Vermont is divided into six landscape regions.
(1) The Vermont Lowlands region has a mild climate, with Lake Champlain moderating its temperature.
(2) The Green Mountains run the length of Vermont and were formed over 400 million years ago. Most of the bedrock is metamorphic and the region is known for its deposits of talc and asbestos.
(3) The Taconic Mountains extend into New York State. Slate and marble are commonly mined in this region.
(4) The Valley of Vermont is a narrow valley between two mountain ranges. Most of the bedrock in the region is limestone and marble.
(5) The Vermont Piedmont covers the largest area of the state. This region consists of rolling hills and valleys. Granite mining is an important industry.
(6) The Northeast Highlands is a mountainous region composed of granite bedrock.

Some of the bedrock in the Green Mountains is actually green in color because of the presence of the mineral chlorite. Which other mineral can cause rocks to appear green?
a)sulfur
b)magnetite
c)olivine
d)halite
