1

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

66% Answer Correctly

thermosphere

mesosphere

troposphere

stratosphere


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.


2

Which of the following temperatures is least like the others?

43% Answer Correctly

0K

-273°C

absolute zero

32°F

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?

72% Answer Correctly

igneous

granite

sedimentary

metamorphic


Solution

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.

What is the body's largest artery?

72% Answer Correctly

vena cava

arteriole

capillary

aorta


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
