3

The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:

78% Answer Correctly

hydrosphere

atmosphere

geosphere

lithosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


4

Which of the following temperatures is least like the others?

43% Answer Correctly

32°F

0K

absolute zero

-273°C


Solution

Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature in the universe. In the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is 0K and in the Celsius scale it is -273°C.


5

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

focal point

refractive index

90°

angle of incidence


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
