Which of Earth's layers has weather?

64% Answer Correctly

mesosphere

troposphere

thermosphere

stratosphere


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

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus

number of neutrons in the nucleus

number of protons in the nucleus

number of electrons orbiting the nucleus


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


5

What is the body's largest artery?

72% Answer Correctly

capillary

vena cava

arteriole

aorta


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
