2

Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?

68% Answer Correctly

gas

none of these

solid

liquid


Solution

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.


3

Poor balance could indicate an issue with which part of the nervous system?

64% Answer Correctly

spinal cord

cerebrum

medulla

cerebellum


Solution

4

Which of these is a type of Earth's crust?

56% Answer Correctly

metamorphic

sedimentary

oceanic

terrestrial


Solution

The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.


5

Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

81% Answer Correctly

makes up most of Earth's volume

all of these

dense

hot


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.
