Which of the following is sedimentary rock?

74% Answer Correctly

obsidian

sandstone

slate

basalt


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.

Carbohydrates are found in:

88% Answer Correctly

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).


3

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 cL

1 mL

1 ML

1 kL


Solution

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.


4

Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:

50% Answer Correctly

electrons

atomic mass units

protons

electron shells


Solution

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. 


5

The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?

52% Answer Correctly

thermosphere

troposphere

mesosphere

stratosphere


Solution

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).
