Answer the following question given this paragraph: Mercury is very close to the Sun, so it can get very hot. Mercury also has virtually no atmosphere. As the planet rotates very slowly, the temperature varies tremendously. In direct sunlight, the surface can be as hot as 427C (801F). On the dark side, the surface can be as cold as 183C (297F)! The coldest temperatures may be on the insides of craters. Most of Mercury is extremely dry. Scientists think that there may be a small amount of water, in the form of ice, at the planet's poles. The poles never receive direct sunlight. Q: What planet is closest to our sun? A:
OPTIONS:
- Earth
- Venus
- Pluto
- mercury

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Earthquakes also occur at divergent plate boundaries. At mid-ocean ridges, these earthquakes tend to be small and shallow focus because the plates are thin, young, and hot. Earthquakes in the oceans are usually far from land, so they have little effect on peoples' lives. On land, where continents are rifting apart, earthquakes are larger and stronger. Q: What causes earthquakes at mid-ocean ridges to be small and shallow? A:
OPTIONS:
- plates are thin , young , and cold
- plates are thick , young , and cold
- plates are thick , old , and hot
- plates are thin , young , and hot
