1

Which of the following is igneous rock?

68% Answer Correctly

sandstone

marble

granite

shale


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.


2

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

67% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)

\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)

\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)

none of these


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


3

Examples of primary consumers include:

54% Answer Correctly

rats

fish

all of these

cows


Solution

Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus.  Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.


4

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of __________ animals, including humans.

85% Answer Correctly

arthropod

sentient

spiny

vertebrate


Solution

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.


5

Examples of secondary consumers include:

52% Answer Correctly

plankton

chickens

wolves

grasshoppers


Solution

Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.
