2

What type of cloud is responsible for fog?

62% Answer Correctly

cumulonimbus

stratus

cirrus

cumulus


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.


3

Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

hottest

farthest from the surface

coldest

closest to the surface


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.


4

Absolute zero is which of the following?

57% Answer Correctly

the freezing point of hydrogen

the freezing point of oxygen

0°C

the coldest temperature possible in the universe


Solution

In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.


5

The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?

77% Answer Correctly

seasons

day and night cycle

tides

the northern lights


Solution

Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.
