65% Answer Correctly

marble

sedimentary

metamorphic

igneous


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.


4

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

58% Answer Correctly

bacteria

archaea

eukaryota

5

pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:

67% Answer Correctly

acidic

water

alkaline

neutral


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.
