An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

solid

gas

gel

liquid


Solution

2

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

kinetic energy

a force

work

power


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.


3

Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

closest to the surface

hottest

coldest

farthest from the surface


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.


4

When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:

29% Answer Correctly

rain

snow

snow or ice

ice


Solution

Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.


5

A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat is:

76% Answer Correctly

a community

a food chain

a population

a biome


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
