What type of cloud is responsible for fog?
stratus |
|
cirrus |
|
cumulus |
|
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.

Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?
reactants |
|
side effects |
|

|
products |
During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:
atomic mass units |
|
electron shells |
|
electrons |
|
protons |
The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation. From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
