Which of these is a type of Earth's crust?
oceanic |
|
sedimentary |
|
terrestrial |
|
metamorphic |
The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.
Which of these layers is found directly below the Earth's crust?
inner core |
|
outer core |
|
mantle |

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?
circulation |
|
respiration |
|
nervous |
|
digestion |
The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
The pitch of the siren of an approaching ambulance changes as it approaches you. This is an example of which of the following?
refraction |
|
Doppler effect |
|
sound radiation |
|
reflection |
The Doppler effect occurs when the source or listener (or both) of sound waves is moving. If they're moving closer together, the listener perceives the sound with a higher pitch and, when they're moving apart, the listener perceives the sound with a lower pitch.
