Which of the following is sedimentary rock?
obsidian |
|
sandstone |
|
slate |
|
basalt |
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.
Carbohydrates are found in:
animal sources |
|
food additives |
|
vegetable oils |
|
sugars and starches |
Carbohydrates are major sources of energy for the body and are found in sugars (fruit, cane sugar, beets) and starches (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta).
Which of the following represents the largest value?
1 cL |
|
1 mL |
|
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.
Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:
electrons |
|
atomic mass units |
|
protons |
|
electron shells |
The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?
thermosphere |
|
troposphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
stratosphere |
In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).
