1

Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. 

63% Answer Correctly

mid-altitude

low-altitude

high-altitude

all-altitude


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.


2

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

63% Answer Correctly

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

microwaves → radio waves → visible light


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.

Examples of primary consumers include:

54% Answer Correctly

all of these

cows

rats

fish


Solution

4

Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

closest to the surface

hottest

farthest from the surface

coldest


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.


5

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

72% Answer Correctly

work

power

kinetic energy

a force


Solution

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