1

During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?

26% Answer Correctly

transpiration

evaporation

both evaporation and transpiration

precipitation


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.


2

A subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

isotope

electron

proton

neutron


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.


3

Which is the proper order of Earth's atmospheric layers from the surface up to space?

58% Answer Correctly

mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere


Solution

The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.


4

Which of blood component carries oxygen?

83% Answer Correctly

red blood cells

white blood cells

plasma

platelets


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


5

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

amps

watts

horsepower

joules or newton-meters


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
