3

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

67% Answer Correctly

mesosphere

stratosphere

thermosphere

troposphere


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.

66% Answer Correctly

gravitational

potential

inherent

kinetic


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.


5

What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?

72% Answer Correctly

secondary consumers

primary consumers

producers

decomposers


Solution
