The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed by the gradual depositing of small rocks?
metamorphic |
|
igneous |
|
sedimentary |
|
granite |
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
Which of blood component allows blood to clot?
red blood cells |
|
white blood cells |
|
plasma |
|
platelets |
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.

atom |
|
neutron |
|
electron |

proton |
A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.
Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?
trachea |
|
pharynx |
|
nasal cavity |
|
epiglottis |
After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.
