1

During continental drift, the drifting plates move across which of the following?

50% Answer Correctly

liquid mantle

water

sediment

fault lines


Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up of 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.


2

__________ is caused by a lack of Vitamin C.

65% Answer Correctly

diabetes

anemia

shingles

scurvy


Solution

Scurvy is a difficiency disease caused by a lack of Vitamin C in the diet.


3

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

48% Answer Correctly

aorta

right atrium

left ventricle

pulmonary vein


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.

"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

65% Answer Correctly

third

fourth

first

second


Solution

Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.


5

Which of the following is true about species groups?

47% Answer Correctly

a community is made up of a group of populations

a population is made up of a group of communities

an ecosystem is a biological population

a biome is a made up of a group of biospheres


Solution

population is a group of organisms of the same species who live in the same area at the same time. A community is a group of populations living and interacting with each other in an area.
