The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed when existing rock is altered through pressure, temperature, or chemical processes?
metamorphic |
|
igneous |
|
coal |
|
sedimentary |
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude only |
|
a direction only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a magnitude and a polarity |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
Which of the following is not one of the outer planets?
Jupiter |
|
Uranus |
|
Neptune |
|
Venus |
In contrast to the solid terrestrial planets, the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) consist of hydrogen and helium gas and water.
Examples of tertiary consumers include:
chickens |
|
fish |
|
sharks |
|
cows |
Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.
Which of the following is the formula for power?
\(P = \vec{w}t\) |
|
\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\) |
|
\(P = {w \over t}\) |
|
\(P = w t\) |
Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time: \(P = {w \over t}\) and is measured in watts (W).
