70% Answer Correctly

cerebrum

cerebellum

medulla

A transition zone between two air masses is called:

71% Answer Correctly

fog

thunderstorm

front

boundary


Solution

An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.


4

The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?

52% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

mesosphere

troposphere

thermosphere


Solution

In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).


5

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

momentum

acceleration

velocity

mass


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)
