The crust and lithosphere of the Earth is made up of which of the following?
plates |
|
metamorphic rock |
|
sedimentary rock |
|
continents |
The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.
-40°F is how many °C?
-8 |
|
\(-{40 \over 9}\) |
|
\({40 \over 9}\) |
|
-40 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)
\(C° = -40\)
Antigens in the blood determine:
negative or positive status |
|
blood oxygen capacity |
|
Rh factor |
|
blood type |
Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?
plasma |
|
red |
|
white |
|
platelets |

Water has a refractive index of 1.33. Which of the following is true?
light travels 1.33 times slower in a vacuum than it does in water |
|
light is 1.33 times brighter in a vacuum than it is in water |
|
light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water |
|
light is 1.33 times dimmer in a vacuum than it is in water |
The speed of light varies based on the material that the waves are passing through. The refractive index of a material indicates how easily light travels through it compared to how easily light travels through a vacuum. For example, the refractive index of water is 1.33, meaning that light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water.
