The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?
seasons |
|
the northern lights |
|
day and night cycle |
|
tides |
Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.
50°F is how many °C?
58 |
|
122 |
|
10 |
|
-10 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)
\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 10\)
In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:
family |
|
atomic number |
|
group |
|
period |
The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
The two heart chambers that pump blood called:
aorta |
|
ventricles |
|
valves |
|
atria |
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
An air mass is a large body of air that has which of the following characteristics?
all of these |
|
similar temperature |
|
similar moisture |
|
similar density |
An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
