dense

all of these

makes up most of Earth's volume

hot


Solution

Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.


2

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

kinetic energy

a force

work

power


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.


3

Which of blood component allows blood to clot?

74% Answer Correctly

plasma

red blood cells

platelets

white blood cells


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


4

The crust and upper mantle of the earth is called the:

62% Answer Correctly

geosphere

atmosphere

lithosphere

hydrosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


5

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes:

82% Answer Correctly

recessive alleles

phenotypes

both dominant and recessive alleles

dominant alleles


Solution

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.
