Which of Earth's layers has weather?
troposphere |
|
stratosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
mesosphere |
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.
The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:
valves |
|
aorta |
|
atria |
|
ventricles |
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.
Veins carry blood __________ the heart.
away from |
|
back to |
|
all of these |
|
within |
Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
Which of the following is the formula for power?
\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\) |
|
\(P = \vec{w}t\) |
|
\(P = {w \over t}\) |
|
\(P = w t\) |
Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time: \(P = {w \over t}\) and is measured in watts (W).
Earth's history is divided into time periods, which of these is the shortest time period?
period |
|
eon |
|
age |
|
epoch |
The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old and its history is divided into time periods based on the events that took place and the forms of life that were dominant during those periods. The largest graduation of time is the eon and each eon is subdivided into eras, eras into periods, periods into epochs, and epochs into ages.
