Some questions may require the use of the E arth Science Reference Tables. Base your answers to questions 65 through 67 on the paragraph below, which describes some factors that affect Earth climate. s Earth climate is in a delicate state of balance. Many factors affect climate. Any small s change in the factors may lead to long-term cooling or warming of Earth atmosphere. For s example, during the last 100 years, measurements have shown a gradual increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. This change has been linked to an increase in Earth average s atmospheric temperature. Variations in the tilt of Earth axis have been similarly linked to s the occurrence of ice ages. Both the increases in temperature and the occurrence of ice ages have been linked to changes in global sea level. 65 State one reason for the increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in Earth atmos sphere during the last 100 years.

June 01 [15] [OVER] Base your answers to questions 68 through 75 on the reading passage and topographic map below. A group of Earth science students decided to take an adventurous camping trip, so they rode bicycles to a New Y State park that was located in an isolated area. They traveled ork up a steep hill. When they reached the top, they looked at the landscape and noticed a lake at the bottom of the hill. They named it Hidden Lake. To the left of Hidden Lake was a large field with a small stream. They decided to set up their campsite in the field near Hidden Lake. To get to the field, they cycled down a very steep slope. Str ea m The map below shows the location of the bicycle trail and the students campsite. Points P and Q are reference points on the map. Q Campsite P Hidden Lake 500 0 60 Key Campsite N 0 1 2 3 miles Contour interval: 20 feet Bike trail 68 State the evidence shown on the map that indicates that the area directly north of Hidden Lake is relatively flat.

Point P and point Q have been plotted for you. [2] b Connect the dots to complete the profile. [1] P.S./E. Sci. June 01 [16] 71 The students decided to measure the speed of the stream by floating apples down a straight section of the stream. Describe the steps the students must take to determine the stream surface rate of movement (speed) by using a stopwatch, a 10-foot rope, s and several apples. Include the equation for calculating rate. [3] 72 While exploring the stream, a student found a rock containing a trilobite fossil. Name the most likely type of rock this student found. [1] 73 State the geologic era during which the rock containing the trilobite most likely formed. [1] 74 The next day the students decided to move their campsite 1 mile directly east of their original campsite. On the map provided in your answer booklet, place another campsite symbol, v, to indicate the location of their second campsite. [1] 75 The students decided to take a different route home to avoid riding their bicycles up the steep hill. Plan a return route that will take the campers back to point P and that will involve the least change in elevation during the trip. On the map provided in your answer booklet, draw a line from the second campsite to point P to show the route. Place arrows on the line to show the direction that the students will be traveling. [1] P.S. E./Sci. June 01 [17] [OVER] Base your answers to questions 76 through 79 on the magazine article and diagram below. Lake-Effect Snow During the cold months of the year, the words lake effect are very much a part of the weather picture in many locations in New Y State. Snow created by the lake effect may ork represent more than half the season snowfall in some areas. s In order for heavy lake-effect snow to develop, the temperature of the water at the surface of the lake must be higher than the temperature of the air flowing over the water. The higher the water temperature and the lower the air temperature, the greater the potential for lake-effect snow. A lake-effect storm begins when air flowing across the lake is warmed as it comes in close contact with the water. The warmed air rises and takes moisture along with it. This moisture, which is water vapor from the lake, is turned into clouds as it encounters much colder air above. When the clouds reach the shore of the lake, they deposit their snow on nearby land. A typical lake-effect storm is illustrated in the diagram below. The area most likely to receive snow from a lake is called a snowbelt. Lake Ontario s snowbelt includes the counties along the eastern and southeastern ends of the lake. Because the lake runs lengthwise from west to east, the prevailing westerly winds are able to gather the maximum amount of moisture as they flow across the entire length of the lake. There can be lake-effect snowfall anywhere around the lake, but the heaviest and most frequent snowfalls occur near the eastern shore. In parts of the snowbelt, the lake effect combines with a phenomenon known as orographic lifting to produce some very heavy snowfalls. After cold air has streamed over the length of Lake Ontario, it moves inland and is forced to climb the slopes of the Tug Hill Plateau and the Adirondack Mountains, resulting in very heavy snowfall. Cold air Adirondacks Snow A Lake Ontario Tug Hill Plateau Land 76 State the relationship that must exist between water temperature and air temperature for lake-effect snow to develop. [1] 77 State why locations east and southeast of Lake Ontario are more likely to receive lake-effect snow than are locations west of the lake. [1] 78 State the name of the New Y ork State landscape region that includes location A shown in the diagram. [1] 79 State why very heavy snowfall occurs in the Tug Hill Plateau region. P.S./E. Sci.

Part A Score Part B 1 Score 2 [1] [OVER] P HYSICAL SETTING/E ARTH SCIENCE continued D irections to the Teacher Follow the procedures below for scoring student answer papers for the Physical Setting/Earth Science examination. Additional information about scoring is provided in the publication I nformation Booklet for Administering and Scoring Regents Examinations in Living Environment and Physical Setting/Earth Science. Use only red ink or red p encil in rating Regents papers. Do n ot correct the student s work by making insertions or changes of any kind. On the detachable answer sheet for Part A and Part B 1, indicate by means of a checkmark each incorrect or omitted answer. In the box provided at the end of each part, record the number of questions the student answered correctly for that part. At least two science teachers must participate in the scoring of each student responses s to the Part B 2 and Part C open-ended questions. Each of these teachers should be responsible for scoring a selected number of the open-ended questions on each answer paper. No one teacher is to score all the open-ended questions on a student answer paper. s Students responses must be scored strictly according to the Scoring Key and Rating Guide. For open-ended questions, credit may be allowed for responses other than those given in the rating guide if the response is a scientifically accurate answer to the question and demonstrates adequate knowledge as indicated by the examples in the rating guide. In the student answer booklet, record the number of credits earned for each answer in the s box printed to the right of the answer lines or spaces for that question. Fractional credit is n ot allowed. Only whole-number credit may be given to a response. If the student gives more than one answer to a question, only the first answer should be rated. Units need not be given when the wording of the questions allows such omissions. Raters should enter the scores earned for Part A, Part B 1, Part B 2, and Part C on the appropriate lines in the box printed on the answer booklet and then should add these four scores and enter the total in the box labeled Total Written Test Score. The student score s for the Earth Science Performance Test should be entered in the space provided. Then, the student raw scores on the performance test and written test should be converted to a s scaled score by using the conversion chart printed at the end of this Scoring Key and Rating Guide. The student scaled score should be entered in the labeled box on the student s s answer booklet. The scaled score is the student final examination score. s All student answer papers that receive a scaled score of 60 through 64 m ust be scored a second time. For the second scoring, a different committee of teachers may score the student paper or the original committee may score the paper, except that no teacher may s score the same open-ended questions that he/she scored in the first rating of the paper. The school principal is responsible for assuring that the student final examination score is based s on a fair, accurate, and reliable scoring of the student answer paper. s Because scaled scores corresponding to raw scores in the conversion chart may change from one examination to another, it is crucial that for each administration, the conversion chart provided in the scoring key for that administration be used to determine the student s final score. The chart in this scoring key is usable only for this administration of the examination. [3] [OVER] P HYSICAL SETTING/E ARTH SCIENCE continued Part B 2 Allow a total of 14 credits for this part.
