Q: What occurs when rain falls more quickly than water can be absorbed into the ground or carried away by rivers or streams? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Floods may occur when deep snow melts quickly in the spring. More often, floods are due to heavy rainfall. Floods happen when rain falls more quickly than water can be absorbed into the ground or carried away by rivers or streams. Choices: - typhoons - greenhouse effect - landslides - floods A:
floods

Q: The force of attraction or repulsion between charged particles is called what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: When it comes to electric charges, opposites attract. In other words, positive and negative particles are attracted to each other. Like charges, on the other hand, repel each other, so two positive or two negative charges push apart from each other. The force of attraction or repulsion between charged particles is called electric force . It is illustrated in Figure below . The strength of electric force depends on the amount of electric charge and the distance between the charged particles. The larger the charge or the closer together the charges are, the greater is the electric force. Choices: - magnetic force - cooling force - power force - electric force A:
electric force

Q: Q: What type of plug is generally used on metal appliances? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: A three-prong plug is generally used on metal appliances. The two flat prongs carry current to and from the appliance. The round prong is for safety. It connects with a wire inside the outlet that goes down into the ground. If any stray current leaks from the circuit or if there is a short circuit, the ground wire carries the current into the ground, which harmlessly absorbs it. Choices: - 4 prong - .2 prong - 5 prong - 3 prong A:
A: 3 prong

Question: Q: Higher pressures increase the solubility of what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Higher pressures increase the solubility of gases. You are probably familiar with this concept as it relates to carbonated beverages. Before opening the container, the inside is pressurized, so a large amount of CO 2 is dissolved in the liquid. After opening, the pressure decreases (to the ambient pressure), so the solubility of CO 2 drops, causing it to bubble out of solution. Because they are not compressible like gases, solid and liquid solutes do not have noticeable changes in solubility at different external pressures. Choices: - molecules - fuels - bases - gases A:
Answer: gases

Q: What colorful phenomenon occurs in the northern sky when particles from the sun energize ions in the thermosphere? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Particles from the Sun energize ions in the thermosphere. This creates the northern and southern lights. Choices: - meteor shower - Coriolis effect - aurora nervosa - northern lights A:
**Answer**
northern lights

Q: What elements tend to conduct well? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: While many elements differ dramatically in their chemical and physical properties, some elements have similar properties. We can identify sets of elements that exhibit common behaviors. For example, many elements conduct heat and electricity well, whereas others are poor conductors. These properties can be used to sort the elements into three classes: metals (elements that conduct well), nonmetals (elements that conduct poorly), and metalloids (elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals). The periodic table is a table of elements that places elements with similar properties close together (Figure 1.22). You will learn more about the periodic table as you continue your study of chemistry. Choices: - organics - gases - oils - metals A:
(A).
metals
