visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

64% Answer Correctly

thermosphere

stratosphere

mesosphere

troposphere


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.


3

A human heart consists of how many chambers?

84% Answer Correctly

1

4

2

8


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.
