Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

55% Answer Correctly

primarily solid

liquid

primarily liquid

solid


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

Large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top describe which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

stratus clouds

cumulus clouds

cirrus clouds

fog


Solution

Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.


3

Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?

54% Answer Correctly

white

platelets

plasma

red


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


4

The biosphere consists of which of the following?

87% Answer Correctly

hydrosphere

atmosphere

lithosphere

all of these


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

Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

reactants

side effects

products

results


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
