The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?
angle of incidence |
|
90° |
|
focal point |
|
refractive index |
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.
A transition zone between two air masses is called:
boundary |
|
thunderstorm |
|
front |
|
fog |
An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
A subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
isotope |
|
electron |
|
proton |
|
neutron |
An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?
stratosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
troposphere |
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.
Which of these is important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair?
carbohydrates |
|
fats |
|
protein |
|
fiber |
Found in both animal sources (meat, fish, eggs, cheese) and vegetables (beans, nuts, some grains), proteins are important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair.
