Answer the following question given this paragraph: Earthquakes at convergent plate boundaries mark the location of the subducting lithosphere. The motion of the lithosphere as it plunges through the mantle causes the quakes ( Figure below ). At greater depths, the plate heats up enough to deform plastically. Q: Earthquakes at convergent plate boundaries mark the location of the what? Choices: - abducting lithosphere - speeding lithosphere - shorting lithosphere - subducting lithosphere A:
subducting lithosphere
Answer the following question given this paragraph: An atom's mass number is its mass in atomic mass units (amu), which is about equal to the total number of protons and neutrons in the atom. Different isotopes of an element have different mass numbers because they have different numbers of neutrons. Q: Different isotopes of an element have different mass numbers because they have different numbers of what? Choices: - protons - electrons - nuclei - neutrons A:
neutrons
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Seismic waves show that the outer core is liquid. The inner core is solid. Q: What do seismic waves prove about the inner core? Choices: - it is liquid - it is hot - it is layered - it is solid A:
A: it is solid
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Gases are composed of tiny particles that are separated by large distances. Gas particles are constantly moving, experiencing collisions with other gas particles and the walls of their container. The velocity of gas particles is related to the temperature of a gas. Gas particles do not experience any force of attraction or repulsion with each other. Q: What state of matter is characterized by tiny particles separated by large distances, which do not experience any force of attraction or repulsion with each other? Choices: - steam - emissions - liquids - gas A:
Answer: gas

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Igneous rocks are classified by composition and texture. The composition can be felsic, intermediate, mafic, or ultramafic. The composition depends on the minerals the rock includes. A felsic rock will contain felsic minerals. Q: Felsic, intermediate, mafic, and ultramafic are types of composition of what rock group? Choices: - Sedimentary - asteroids - metamorphic - igneous A:
**Answer**
igneous

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Primates usually rely more on the sense of vision rather than the sense of smell, which is the dominant sense in many other mammals. The importance of vision in primates is reflected by the bony socket that surrounds and protects the primate eye. Primates have widely spaced eyes in the same plane that give them stereoscopic (3-D) vision, needed for judging distances. Some primates, including humans, have also evolved color vision. Q: The anatomy of primate eyes shows they tend to rely more on vision than what sense, which is dominant in many other mammals? Choices: - taste - touch - hearing - smell A:
(Answer)
smell
