82% Answer Correctly

solid

liquid

plasma

gas


Solution

In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.


3

61% Answer Correctly

diffusion

conduction

radiation

convection


Solution

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee. 


4

Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?

51% Answer Correctly

stormy

freezing

hot

fair


Solution

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.


5

Which is the proper order of Earth's atmospheric layers from the surface up to space?
