What is the body's largest artery?

73% Answer Correctly

arteriole

aorta

vena cava

capillary


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


2

Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?

63% Answer Correctly

opposite poles attract each other

all of these are untrue

same poles repel each other

opposite poles repel each other


Solution

Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.


3

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

64% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

thermosphere

mesosphere

troposphere


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

When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:

29% Answer Correctly

ice

snow or ice

snow

rain


Solution

Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.
