1

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

59% Answer Correctly

stationary front

cold front 

warm front

temperate front


Solution

A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.


2

Which of the following would be found on a reflecting telescope?

42% Answer Correctly

concave mirror

convex mirror

concave lens

convex lens


Solution

A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.


3

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.


4

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

57% Answer Correctly

side effects

products

results

reactants


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).


5

A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat is:

76% Answer Correctly

a biome

a population

a community

a food chain


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
