41% Answer Correctly

runoff

water table

rivers

oceans


Solution

The water then accumulates as runoff and eventually returns to bodies of water or is absorbed into the Earth (infiltration) and becomes part of the water table, an underground resevoir of fresh water.


3

When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:

74% Answer Correctly

refraction

conduction

convection

reflection


Solution

Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.


4

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

58% Answer Correctly

bacteria

archaea

eukaryota

animalia


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


5

Which of these is not a component of blood?

82% Answer Correctly

plasma

marrow
