1

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

58% Answer Correctly

warm front

temperate front

stationary front

cold front 


Solution

A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.


2

What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?

65% Answer Correctly

brainstem

medulla

cerebellum

cerebrum


Solution

The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).


3

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed by the gradual depositing of small rocks?

72% Answer Correctly

granite

igneous

metamorphic

sedimentary


Solution

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.


4

Examples of tertiary consumers include:

73% Answer Correctly

fish

cows

chickens

sharks


Solution

Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.


5

Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?

67% Answer Correctly

troposphere

stratosphere

thermosphere

mesosphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
