1

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

58% Answer Correctly

stationary front

temperate front

cold front 

warm 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

The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?

66% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

thermosphere

troposphere

mesosphere


Solution

The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.


3

Which of these is not a recognized blood type?

90% Answer Correctly

O

AB

B

AO


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


4

Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?

67% Answer Correctly

conduction

reflection

radiation

convection


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.


5

In the heart, blood flows from the right __________ to the lungs then back to the heart via the left __________.

55% Answer Correctly

atrium, atrium

atrium, ventricle

ventricle, ventricle

ventricle, atrium


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.
