Which of the following describes the Earth's outer core?
liquid |
|
solid |
|
makes up most of the Earth's volume |
|
primarily solid |
The Earth's core is divided into the liquid outer core (1,430 miles or 2,300 km radius) and the solid inner core (745 miles or 1,200 km radius).
Minerals, vitamins, and fiber are:
proteins |
|
macronutrients |
|
carbohydrates |
|
micronutrients |
Minterals, vitamins, and fiber are micronutrients while proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are macronutrients.
pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 4 is:
basic |
|
alkaline |
|
neutral |
|
acidic |
An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.
212°F is how many °C?
100 |
|
-100 |
|
0 |
|
\(135 {5 \over 9}\) |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 100\)
Which of these is a type of Earth's crust?
terrestrial |
|
sedimentary |
|
metamorphic |
|
oceanic |
The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.
