Which of the following is not a medium for sound waves?
solid |
|
none of these is a medium for sound waves |
|
vacuum |
|
liquid |
A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.
Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?
epiglottis |
|
nasal cavity |
|
pharynx |
|
trachea |
After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.
When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:
snow or ice |
|
rain |
|
ice |
|
snow |
Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.
