The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?
mesosphere |
|
troposphere |
|
stratosphere |
|
thermosphere |
In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).
Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?
nasal cavity |
|
epiglottis |
|
pharynx |
|
trachea |
After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.
In the water cycle, infiltration is most closely related to:
runoff |
|
oceans |
|
water table |
|
rivers |
The water then accumulates as runoff and eventually returns to bodies of water or is absorbed into the Earth (infiltration) and becomes part of the water table, an underground resevoir of fresh water.
