Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

-36

-4

36

78


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)

The fossil record is a product of which period of Earth's history?

57% Answer Correctly

Cambrian

Jurassic

Cenozoic

Cretaceous


Solution

The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.

63% Answer Correctly

low-altitude

mid-altitude

high-altitude

all-altitude


Solution
