3

The crust and upper mantle of the earth is called the:

61% Answer Correctly

lithosphere

hydrosphere

geosphere

atmosphere


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).


4

The first step in the water cycle is:

67% Answer Correctly

precipitation

evaporation

reclamation

infiltration


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.


5

Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?

50% Answer Correctly

273K

0°C

32°F

0°F
