1

Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. 

63% Answer Correctly

high-altitude

mid-altitude

all-altitude

low-altitude


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.


2

The pitch of the siren of an approaching ambulance changes as it approaches you. This is an example of which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

refraction

Doppler effect

sound radiation

reflection


Solution

The Doppler effect occurs when the source or listener (or both) of sound waves is moving. If they're moving closer together, the listener perceives the sound with a higher pitch and, when they're moving apart, the listener perceives the sound with a lower pitch.


3

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

oxygenates

creates

deoxygenates

filters


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.


4

Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?

54% Answer Correctly

epiglottis

trachea

pharynx

nasal cavity


Solution

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, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.


5
