Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?
stratosphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
troposphere |
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.
The connective tissue that connects bones to other bones at joints is called:
tendons |
|
ligaments |
|
knuckles |
|
cartilage |
Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).
Which of the following represents the largest value?
1 ML |
|
1 cL |
|
1 mL |
|
1 kL |
Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.
In the water cycle, infiltration is most closely related to:
runoff |
|
rivers |
|
water table |
|
oceans |
The water then accumulates as runoff and eventually returns to bodies of water or is absorbed into the Earth (infiltration) and becomes part of the water table, an underground resevoir of fresh water.
During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?
both evaporation and transpiration |
|
evaporation |
|
precipitation |
|
transpiration |
The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
