Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?

60% Answer Correctly

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.

79% Answer Correctly

population

ecosystem

biome

community


Solution

An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. This includes both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living).

65% Answer Correctly

anemia

4

Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?

67% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

troposphere

mesosphere

thermosphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.


5

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, what kind of front is present?

75% Answer Correctly

occluded

stationary

cold

warm 


Solution

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, a stationary front is created. Stationary fronts often cause persistent cloudy wet weather.
