1

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

-4

-36

78

36


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


2

Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?

51% Answer Correctly

hot

freezing

fair

stormy


Solution

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.


3

Which of these is a type of Earth's crust?

56% Answer Correctly

sedimentary

oceanic

terrestrial

metamorphic


Solution

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.

Which of the following is not a base unit in the metric system?

87% Answer Correctly

degree Fahrenheit

5

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

left ventricle

right atrium

pulmonary vein

aorta


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
