Answer the following question given this paragraph: Jaws Beach in Maui, Hawaii has legendary waves. The largest waves come when winds are very strong, usually in the winter. The rocks and reef offshore magnify the size of the incoming wave energy. Cowabunga!. Q: What season do the largest waves for surfers typically come? Choices: - autumn - summer - spring - winter A:
winter

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Types of mutagens include radiation, chemicals, and infectious agents. Q: Radiation, chemicals, and infectious agents are types of what? Choices: - mutations - endogenous - dioxins - mutagens A:
(Answer)
mutagens
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The moment magnitude scale is the favored method of measuring earthquake magnitudes. It measures the total energy released by an earthquake. Moment magnitude is calculated by two things. One is the length of the fault break. The other is the distance the ground moves along the fault. Q: What scale measures the total energy released by an earthquake? Choices: - moment radiation scale - direct magnitude scale - moment identification scale - moment magnitude scale A:
Ans: moment magnitude scale
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: What is one of the most important characteristics of a referee? A referee must be neutral. He can't favor one team over the other. In chemistry, being neutral means not being an acid or a base. Pure water is an example of a neutral substance. In some chemical reactions, an acid and a base combine to form neutral products, including water. You'll see how this happens when you read this article. Q: What do you call a substance that is not an acid or a base? Choices: - equivalent - toxic - oxidic - neutral A:
(A).
neutral
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Buoyant force is an upward force that fluids exert on any object that is placed in them. The ability of fluids to exert this force is called buoyancy . What explains buoyant force? A fluid exerts pressure in all directions, but the pressure is greater at greater depth. Therefore, the fluid below an object, where the fluid is deeper, exerts greater pressure on the object than the fluid above it. You can see in the Figure below how this works. Buoyant force explains why the girl pictured above can float in water. Q: What is an upward force that fluids exert on any object that is placed in them? Choices: - gravity force - warm force - efficient force - buoyant force A:

Ans:buoyant force
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 16.6 Nervous System The nervous system is made up of neurons and glia. Neurons are specialized cells that are capable of sending electrical as well as chemical signals. Most neurons contain dendrites, which receive these signals, and axons that send signals to other neurons or tissues. Glia are non-neuronal cells in the nervous system that support neuronal development and signaling. There are several types of glia that serve different functions. Neurons have a resting potential across their membranes and when they are stimulated by a strong enough signal from another neuron an action potential may carry an electrochemical signal along the neuron to a synapse with another neuron. Neurotransmitters carry signals across synapses to initiate a response in another neuron. The vertebrate central nervous system contains the brain and the spinal cord, which are covered and protected by three meninges. The brain contains structurally and functionally defined regions. In mammals, these include the cortex (which can be broken down into four primary functional lobes: frontal, temporal, occipital, and parietal), basal ganglia, thalamus, hypothalamus, limbic system, cerebellum, and brainstemalthough structures in some of these designations overlap. While functions may be primarily localized to one structure in the brain, most complex functions, like language and sleep, involve neurons in multiple brain regions. The spinal cord is the information superhighway that connects the brain with the rest of the body through its connections with peripheral nerves. It transmits sensory and motor input and also controls motor reflexes. The peripheral nervous system contains both the autonomic and sensory-somatic nervous systems. The autonomic nervous system provides unconscious control over visceral functions and has two divisions: the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system is activated in stressful situations to prepare the animal for a "fight-orflight" response. The parasympathetic nervous... Q: What are specialized cells that are capable of sending electrical as well as chemical signals? Choices: - hormones - ions - enzymes - neurons A:
Ans:
neurons
