An air mass is a large body of air that has which of the following characteristics?
similar density |
|
similar moisture |
|
similar temperature |
|
all of these |
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.
50°F is how many °C?
58 |
|
10 |
|
-10 |
|
122 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)
\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 10\)
Which of these is not a function of bone in the human skeletal system?
store vitamins |
|
produce blood cells |
|
protect bodily organs |
|
store minerals |
Hard bones provide primary support for the endoskeleton while more flexible cartilage is found at the end of all bones, at the joints, and in the nose and ears. In addition to providing support and protecting bodily organs, bones also produce blood cells and store minerals like calcium.
The biosphere consists of which of the following?
all of these |
|
lithosphere |
|
atmosphere |
|
hydrosphere |
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).
Meteoroids, meteors and meteorites are categorized based on which of the following?
their density |
|
their location |
|
their temperature |
|
their size |
Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.
