Which of Earth's layers has weather?

64% Answer Correctly

troposphere

thermosphere

mesosphere

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.


2

The rate of vibration of sound is called:

83% Answer Correctly

frequency

volume

amplitude

period


Solution

The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.


3

The two heart chambers that pump blood called:

59% Answer Correctly

ventricles

aorta

valves

atria


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


4

Which of the following temperatures is least like the others?

43% Answer Correctly

32°F

-273°C

absolute zero

0K


Solution

Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature in the universe. In the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is 0K and in the Celsius scale it is -273°C.


5

47% Answer Correctly

a population is made up of a group of communities

a biome is a made up of a group of biospheres

a community is made up of a group of populations

an ecosystem is a biological population
