What type of cloud is responsible for fog?
cumulus |
|
stratus |
|
cirrus |
|
cumulonimbus |
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.
Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?
power |
|
a force |
|
work |
|
kinetic energy |
Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
The two heart chambers that pump blood called:
ventricles |
|
atria |
|
aorta |
|
valves |
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
The crust and lithosphere of the Earth is made up of which of the following?
continents |
|
metamorphic rock |
|
sedimentary rock |
|
plates |
The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.
Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
|
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
|
weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity |
|
mass is the amount of matter something has |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
