3

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 kL

1 cL

1 mL

1 ML
Solution

Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.

4

Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

81% Answer Correctly

makes up most of Earth's volume

all of these

hot

dense
Solution

Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
