1

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

10

-10

58

122


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


2

Which of these layers is found directly below the Earth's crust?

70% Answer Correctly

inner core

outer core

continents

mantle


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.


3

An air mass is a large body of air that has which of the following characteristics?

86% Answer Correctly

similar density

similar temperature

all of these

similar moisture


Solution

An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.


4

Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?

67% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

troposphere

thermosphere

mesosphere


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.


5

Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?

67% Answer Correctly

convection

conduction

reflection

radiation


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.
