1

Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?

67% Answer Correctly

troposphere

stratosphere

thermosphere

mesosphere


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.


2

The crust and lithosphere of the Earth is made up of which of the following?

58% Answer Correctly

plates

continents

sedimentary rock

metamorphic rock


Solution

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.


3

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

58% Answer Correctly

bacteria

eukaryota

animalia

archaea


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


4

The __________ nervous system controls voluntary actions.

52% Answer Correctly

autonomic

somatic

peripheral

central


Solution

Part of the peripheral nervous system, the somatic nervous system is made up of nerve fibers that send sensory information to the central nervous system and control voluntary actions.


5

69% Answer Correctly
