Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

55% Answer Correctly

primarily liquid

solid

primarily solid

liquid


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.


4

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

respiration

circulation

nervous

digestion


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.


5

In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.

69% Answer Correctly

atrial

aorta

pulmonary

capillary


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
